| Summary: | 碩士 === 逢甲大學 === 建築與都市計畫所 === 94 === In the process of forming a tribe, the way a tribe is constituted and the extents tribal activities may cover can generally be affected by both local and regional relationships. The main factors that bring the primary residents together mostly are due to consanguinity and regional relationships. As years went by, residents in a tribe naturally got mixed with characteristics of various cultures and different social mechanisms. This research, with target at the aboriginal residents of Zichean villiage at Taiping City of Taichung County, with primary analysis on the contents of constituting temporary tribes and on the basis of analyzing grouping of social interactions, compared and analyzed various factors in studying the centripetal forces in urban aboriginal communities and the meaning of existence of the tribe with common lives in hope to provide , if possible , concrete references to policy-makers or people who care about the well-beings of aboriginals on the aspect of allocating or building up aboriginal communities in the future.
The research methods applied were through getting involved in, observing and interviewing daily real lives of the aboriginals closely and realistically . Following conclusions were derived from analyzing:
一、The tribal residents are mostly composed of relatives and the layouts of the houses are arranged in a way so that the main routes extend to the rear part. In order to preserve the tribal developments and rights of the residences, a community administration committee was organized to cohere community emotions and activate common welfares.
二、Looking at the residence interaction net-working diagram of the tribe, no particular types of interactions are observed except the interaction spot at U-shaped lanes where more intensive community interaction activities happen. Most of the major community activities were held at the square yard which was also the most important place for interactions among neighbors within tribes. The inter-communications among families were mostly from household wives by whom pieces of information were exchanged.
三、the most popular person in the entire community and relatively popular one in their own respective district were affected by the order they moved into the community where the person who moved first acquired more recognition naturally while the last ones also acquired a lot of recognition by striving for it. On the other hand, identities of tribal chief or members of community administration committee or their religious believes had shown no clear connections to their popularity. Community residents with equal educational background, higher family income, or other means of facilitating member communication activities, such as attachments of originating from the same hometown or supplier of public facilities, like front door tables&chairs or vehicles, tend to be welcomed by specific groups of residences and they were also more active in the common affairs of the community
Based on the above results, it is obvious that the inter-dependent relationships within the community exhibit certain functions. From the communication participation and caring to the community consciousness and organization, coupled by further strengthening the aboriginal community resources, capacity building and development, we then should be able to create and expect much better developements for the aboriginal communities.
