摘要

受到資本主義的影響，80年代臺灣經濟蓬勃發展，社會上也浮現了一些後工業社會的問題，只看重經濟發展、過度追求物質生活的結果，造成精神層面的空虛苦悶、環境生態污染、城鄉發展失衡、人群關係解構等問題。由於工業化、都市化發展的結果，社會結構開始改變，鄉村人口紛紛向都會地區遷徙，肇致住宅與公共服務需求快速增加，家庭組織漸漸地從傳統家庭變為核心家庭，造成家庭相互支持功能逐漸喪失，日益凸顯老人、兒童、身心障礙者的福利需求問題。而工業革命所創造的財富日益集中，更逐漸拉大貧富差距，造成失業、低薪與貧窮的蔓延。
面對國內貧富差距日益擴大、失業率不斷攀升、民主意識高漲，以及國際化、自由化、全球化、民主化的浪潮下，台灣亟需建立公民社會，凝聚生命共同體與生活共同體意識，建立核心價值，始足以因應社會發展的衝擊。由於「社區」是人類最基層的生活單元，如何以社區營造方式讓社區居民參與社區公共事務，並透過終身學習以解決社區問題，讓社區能永續發展，政府有責任營造一個有利社區學習的環境，將社區公共事務塑造成「社會教育」及「終身學習」的場所，公民社會自然有水到渠成的一日。
