碩士 === 國立中山大學 === 公共事務管理研究所 === 96 === Community Infrastructure Establishment is the guiding principle of carrying out “the project for commuting networks in the community schools.” To achieve the goals of community development, carry out action policies, and to achieve a “community of happiness,” the plan for commuting networks in the community schools, Kaohsiung City, has been made for schools and communities together to participate. “Humanity” is taken as the main idea for design; and “decreasing emission amount,” “ecology,” and “nature” are regarded as green architectural thinking. It is hoped to build up a safe, comfortable, healthy, friendly and sustainable organic environment together. This Study takes policy implementation theory and policy assessment theory as the foundation for establishing implementation and assessment structure. By discussing the current state of and result of carrying out the project for commuting networks in the community schools as well as factors influencing on achieving goals of the project, it is expected to achieve the research purpose. Using self-made survey questionnaires based on research structure, the author proceeded with the survey on students and teachers of Cianjin Elementary School, Cianjin Junior High School, and Cisian Junior High School, Cianjin District, and these students’ parents, the district’s heads of neighborhoods and local residents. 617 copies of questionnaires were distributed. 558 effective copies were retrieved. Only effective samples are taken. Analysis approaches such as percentile rank, t-test, descriptive statistics, and one-way ANOVA are employed to proceed with data processing and analysis. After comprehensive analysis and discussion, conclusions and suggestions are made as follows. A. In the situation of carrying out the project for commuting networks in the community schools, Kaohsiung City, new campus landscapes have been advanced, mutual relation between schools and communities has been strengthened, and manifest and hidden double meanings have been brought out. B. At the level of achieving effective goals of the project for commuting networks in the community schools, “beautification and virescence of landscape” and “safety and convenience” reach the highest level of accomplishment. C. At the level of achieving effective goals of carrying out the project for commuting networks in the community schools, according to different employment positions, living areas, ages and education levels, people have different attitudes towards the four aspects -- “environment and beautification and virescence,” “safety,” “mutual relation among and participation in communities,” and “level of general satisfaction.” D. In this Study, it is found that 70% of interviewees agree that commuting networks in the community schools can increase community residents’ relaxing and walking activities. But only 51% of interviewees agree that teachers, parents and community residents create more opportunities to take part in public affairs. Therefore, there should be some space for growth in community mutual relations. Focusing on concrete aspects of participation in communities instead of concerning the surface should be made. E. In this Study, it is found that 76.9% of interviewees agree that strangers and thieves have easily disrupted safety and security since the external walls of campuses were opened up and 71.3% of interviewees agree that the opening up of external walls of campuses causes a problem for managing students’ comings and goings. Thus it is worth paying attention to and scheduling school campuses’ safety and security. Supporting measures and management of campuses’ safety and security should be strengthened. F. 63% of interviewees agree that Kaohsiung City’s streets and landscapes have become more beautiful since improvement has been made and 48.9% of interviewees think that their sense of happiness in life has been enhanced. Thus, everyone has a different interpretation on the concept of happiness. That is because meaning of happiness is rather abstract.
