摘要

Studies of adaptive management of natural resources are increasingly focusing on the role of bridging organizations that can connect various actors and knowledge systems through some form of strategic bridging process. However, empirical investigations of the process of bridging and the conditions that foster collaborative learning are limited. In this paper, we examined how the idea of sustainability can be used to build bridges among stakeholders and how participatory action research (PAR) can bridge academic research and practical actions to facilitate communication and collaboration among multi-level partners to deal with abrupt changes and uncertainty in socio-ecological systems. We focus on the process and strategies for post-disaster recovery and sustainable development of the Adiri community of the Rukai people living in Pingtung, Taiwan after the 2009 Typhoon Morakot. We found that the concept of sustainability provided common ground for intercultural communication among the Adiri community, university partners, and government agencies. More importantly, PAR offered a practical framework to bridge gaps between ideas and actions. The cycles of collaborative observation, planning, action, and reflection in PAR could be understood as processes of social learning for all partners to deal with new problems that emerged. Constant communication and tangible results of action taken were crucial for building and maintaining trust.

近年來自然資源適應性管理相關研究愈來愈關注「橋樑組織」在連結不同社會行動者及知識系統上扮演的角色，然而關於這些連結產生的過程及條件，仍缺乏足夠的實證研究。本研究目的在於檢視「可持續性」概念及「行動研究法」如何分別作為觀念上與實作方法上的橋樑，可用於促進不同行動者和組織之間的溝通與合作，並用以因應社會－生態系統中的變化及不確定性。本文以屏東縣霧臺鄉阿禮部落在2009年莫拉克風災後的重建歷程與策略為例，說明可持續性這項觀念如何協助阿禮部落、大學及公部門之間的溝通產生交集。更重要的是，行動研究法提供一個實作架構，可以搭起理念及行動之間的橋樑。本研究認為行動研究法中的觀察、策劃、行動及反思的循環，可視為所有參與者一同做中學的歷程，藉以共同解決不斷出現的新問題。而時常的溝通及行動所創造的具體成果，對於互信的建立及維持是相當重要的。
