The purpose of this study is to explain the spatial pattern of mental distress of South Taiwan household using survey data from typhoon Morakot. It' s a panel study to combine spatial location of interviewee, mental distress data and spatial analysis. Different from previous survey achievements, this article focuses on spatial pattern and identifies the hotspot area of mental distress. Using Moran's I and LISA index to detect the spatial pattern and hotspot area which display spatial proximity relationships includes: high-high (HH), high-low (HL), low-high (LH) and low-low (LL). The results show these: (a) the spatial pattern of mental distress is cluster in 2010, 2012, and 2015; (b) hotspot areas of mental distress are located in mountain districts in Kaohsiung City and Pingtung County. The findings of this study provide spatial information, scientific and statistical results as reference and guideline to handle how to rebuild mental health.
臺灣是天然災害高風險熱區,在2009年莫拉克颱風三日累積降雨量高達2,854毫米,重創南臺灣,造成莫大之經濟衝擊典人命傷亡,為了瞭解遭受莫拉克颱風衝擊之受訪者身心復原歷程,分別在2010、2011、2012與2015年進行災後復原調查,本調查納入短版中國人身心健康量表(Chinese Health Questionnaire, CHQ)藉此評估受訪者之不同時期的身心壓力狀態。本研究以空間分析為基礎,整合受訪者之空間資訊與身心壓力指標,利用Moran's I與LISA指標研析莫拉克颱風後受訪者之身心壓力空間分布趨勢,界定不同調查時期受訪者的身心壓力熱源分布區位等。研究結果顯示第一、三與四期之受訪者身心壓力指標呈現群集現象,LISA指標可指出受訪者身心壓力與鄰近受訪者關係如HH、HL、LH與LL等,同時,透過身心壓力指標之熱源分布圖,可以提供不同調查時期之受訪者身心壓力熱區所在。
