摘要

雖然社區參與及發展是社區營造中最困難的工作，但卻是最重要的精髓。賦權／充能已被證實能夠有效提升個人對其生活具掌控能力，進而影響組織與社會結構之過程，並凝聚社區意識與增強民眾的能力。本文主要透過一個以充能概念所長期營造的台北市某社區的實例，來呈現社區組織在不同階段的發展過程，可從中體認出社區專業人員所應發揮的功能。希望能夠提供社區實務人員在營造健康社區時，了解以賦權／充能的方式來提升社區自主能力的重要性，並體認唯有營造出有生命能量的有機社區，方能永續。

Community participation and development are the most difficult aspects of building healthy communities. They are also, however, the most essential parts of the process. It has been established that empowerment can ultimately enhance individual self-efficacy, influence organizational and social structures, and increase the sense of community and citizen's capabilities. This article demonstrates the experience of one community in Taipei City during a lengthy period of organization and development. It illustrates the different stages involved in community development and the functions of community health professionals. It seeks to provide insight into the importance of using empowerment in promoting communities' capabilities and the fact that only by developing organic communities that are rich in the energy of life can we develop sustainable communities.
