摘要

近年來台灣積極推動社區營造，想改善農村社區的許多困境，而雖然政府雖然能以補助的方式推動農村社區發展，但最主要的動力仍然還是當地居民的社區意識帶動社區參與，讓社區發展由下而上。自然連結(nature connection)能夠解釋成與自然環境親密的程度，大部分用來預測心理幸福感、利環境行為等，但自然連結也可以理解對自然環境的情感，需要長時間的接觸自然環境相關的事物來培養，才有辦法使個體產生自然連結，這表示具有豐富自然資源的農村社區有利於居民增加其自然連結。而現今社區發展中部分社區強調與當地生態環境的和諧共存，更當起了自然環境的保護者，當參與社區工作與活動變成守護環境的行動，是否會促使自然連結較高的居民有更高的社區參與是本研究主要想探討的核心。本研究採用問卷調查法，以雲林縣的農村社區居民為施測對象，共發放401份有效問卷，以結構方程模式、獨立樣本t檢定以及單因子變異數分析作為分析方法，分析結果發現：以生態為發展主軸的社區居民，其自然連結、社區意識與社區參與較未以生態為發展主軸的社區居民高；居民不同背景屬性對自然連結、社區意識與社區參與有部分具有顯著差異；自然連結對社區意識具有顯著影響(t=7.338，p<.05)；自然連結對社區參與具有顯著影響(t=7.403，p<.05)。

In recent years, Taiwan has be promoting community development to improve the difficulties encountered in rural communities. Although the government has subsidized rural communities to promote community development, however, the most essential factor is to arouse local residents’ community consciousness to promote community participation by the bottom-up approach.Nature connection is defined as the level that we close to the natural environment, which is used to predict happiness and the environmental behavior. Besides, nature connection can also understand our affections on the natural environment, which needs long time to cultivate by contacting the natural environment; then, it can have an individual to generate nature connection. Thus, residents in the rural communities with abundant natural resources have an advantage to generate nature connection. However, current community development mainly focuses on emphasizing to live in harmony with the nature, and encourages residents to become nature protectors. Thus, in the study, we tried to explore if those people who have higher nature connection will have higher community participation since participating in community work and activities becomes an action to protect the environment. A survey was conducted, and the participants were residents in rural communities in Yunlin County. 401 copies of questionnaires were sent out. We used SEM, an Independent T-Test, and the one-way ANOVA to analyze the collected data. The results of the study show that the residents from the community which mainly develops the ecological environment have higher nature connection, community awareness, and community participation than those from the community which does not focus on developing the ecological environment. Residents’ characteristics have significant differences on nature connection, community awareness, and community participation. Nature connection has a significant influence on community awareness (t=7.338，p<.05). Nature connection has a significant influence on community participation (t=7.403，p<.05).
