民族植物中的文化關鍵物種知識結構－以阿美族吉拉米代部落為例

本研究調查臺灣東部阿美族吉拉米代（Cilamitay）部落傳統生態知識中有關民族植物利用，總計訪談13位、20人次具傳統生態知識之部落居民，共調查39科84屬96種，其中57種為臺灣原生種，39種為外來種。紀錄187筆植物利用知識條目，將其分成食用、農事、器物、狩獵、祭典、居住／生活空間、醫療、歲時、育樂、衣飾、天氣預測及編織12種用途類別，知識條目最多者為食用類別。用途最多的物種為羅氏鹽膚木（Rhus chinensis var. roxburghii）及月桃（Alpinia zerumbet），皆有5種以上的使用方式。本研究以文化意義指數（ICS）檢視吉拉米代植物利用狀況、用途、使用頻度，選出羅氏鹽膚木、月桃、灰背櫟（Cyclobalanopsis hypophaea）、黃藤（Calamus formosanus）及檳榔（Areca catechu）、山棕（Arenga tremula）等6種為吉拉米代部落文化關鍵物種。繪製上述6種物種的知識結構圖，詳細了解其使用部位及方法。

In this research, we investigated the use of plants and species in the traditional ecological knowledge of the Cilamitay tribe of the Amis people in eastern Taiwan. In total, 20 people in 13 tribal residences with traditional ecological knowledge were interviewed. Totals of 39 families, 84 genera, and 96 species of plants were investigated, among which 57 species are native to Taiwan, and 39 species are exotic species. We recorded 187 items of ethnobotany utilization knowledge and divided them into 12 categories of food, farming/livestock, tools/utensils, hunting, festivals, living/ living space, medicines, seasonality, recreation, clothes/ornaments, weather forecasting, and weaving; the category with the most knowledge items was food. Species with the most uses were Rhus chinensis var. roxburghii and Alpinia zerumbet, both of which were used for more than five applications. In this study, the index of cultural significance (ICS) was used to examine the utilization status, use, and frequency of plants by the Cilamitay Tribe, and we selected 5 species, viz., R. chinensis var. roxburghii, Alpinia zerumbet, Cyclobalanopsis hypophaea, Calamus formosanus, Areca catechu, and Arenga tremula as key cultural species of the Cilamitay Tribe of the Amis people.
