| Summary: | 碩士 === 逢甲大學 === 建築所 === 95 === The government has promoted the community development for more than ten years, and has accumulated quite a few concrete empirical cases of resident participation. In the relative researches, most of them switch in from taking part in the public affairs or from the role of government, but they seldom explore the aspect from the social capital and value recognition of the community residents. However, the main concept of social capital stresses the resident participation, the standard, and the trust, and increases the individual and social benefits further. Therefore, the research took Putnam’s and Bourdieu’s theses of social capital to be the bases to discuss whether the role and experience of community residents’ participating in the community development affected the social capital, and whether they enhanced the self-value and the local recognition; moreover, it took Baimi Community, Su-ao Township, Yilan County as the location of empirical research. First of all, I investigated seventeen community residents with the qualitative interview; the time of investigation was from November 2006 to February 2007. Then I integrated the interview results and the relevant documents and theories to develop the structured questionnaire, and the questionnaire was executed from Apr. 13 to Apr. 16, 2007; I issued 80 copies of questionnaire in total, and there were 74 copies of effective questionnaire; the people in this part of research included 33 people that participated in the community development, and 41 people that did not take part in the community development. For data analysis, the qualitative part adopted the grounded theory to be the analytic method; the quantitative part used the reliability analysis, the independent sample t-test, and the multiple regression analysis to test all kinds of hypotheses and to verify them. The research results are as follows:
I. Based on the grounded theory, I deduced three major concepts from the research results: “cultural presentation,” “social organization,” and “social influence/ benefit.”
II. For the community residents that participated in or did not take part in the activities of community development, there were significant differences among the social capital, the cultural capital, and the economic capital, and there was a significant difference between the self-value, and the local recognition. However, the sex of a community resident had nothing to do with the social capital, the cultural capital, or the economic capital.
III. The social capital and the economic capital had a significant influence on the self-value; the social capital had a greater influence that could explain the variance of the self-value to be 62%; the cultural capital and the economic capital had a significant influence on the local recognition; the cultural capital had a greater influence that could explain the variance of the local recognition to be 49.8%.
From the research results, I discovered that, because the community residents that participated in the community work contacted the community affairs over a long period of time, they had more abundant interpersonal networks, they had a deeper understanding for the community culture and the historical background, and they considered the economic problem less when taking part in the community work. As for the community residents that did not partake in the community work, most of them were the vendors or mothers in the community; they contacted the community affairs less, relatively, they had less trust for others than those participants; they paid closer attention to the economic source and whether the community environment had a substantial improvement, and they had less understanding for the community culture and history. However, I found that the problems of power structure counter balance and being unable to achieve devolution hided and existed in the community organization. Therefore, while the community development is transforming into the industrial development, Baimi Community should adopt an opener mechanism operation, so that the social capital increased by an individual can be elevated into the social capital of the entire community.
