摘要

本研究為瞭解『農村青年設施蔬菜專業訓練班』參訓學員採用新技術情形及其影響因素，乃以1989～1991年度間曾至本場參加『農村青年設施蔬菜專業訓練班』的所有參訓學員為調查對象，採取對參訓者事後調查的方式，以電話訪問及郵寄問卷搜集資料。結果發現209名參訓學員中有33.5%從事非農業工作，65.1%從事農業生產，其中包括13.4%（28名）採用設施蔬菜生產技術（包括16名從事設施水耕蔬菜生產，12名從事設施土耕蔬菜生產），且64.3%採用新技術的學員在受訓前即已從事目前的工作。調查結果亦發現未採用設施新技術的最主要原因是設施成本太高，而從採用新技術的主要動機來看，從事水耕的學員表示是基於未來水耕行業深具發展潛力，其次是個人興趣所在；從事設施土耕的學員則表示是因自己能夠掌握蔬菜銷售市場，加上熟悉生產技術、個人興趣所在及未來深具發展潛力。就採用創新的決策制定情形來看，大多數是受自己的決策影響最大，對少數學員而言，改良場專家及農會指導員對結訓學員的決策亦具有決定性影響。

In order to survey the adoption of protected horticulture technology by rural youth, a total of 209 trainees receiving an one-week specialized training course in 1989-1991 were evaluated by trainee followups according to the methods such as telephone interviews and questionnaires. The results indicated that 33.5% of trainees devoted themselves to non-agricultural job and 65.1% devoted to agricultural production. 28 trainees (13.4%) growing vegetables and using protected horticulture technology include 16 hydroponic vegetable farms and 12 protected structural vegetable farms. It was also found that the main factor of non-adopting new techniques was the cost of facilities too high. Consideration of the motivation of adopting hydroponic techniques was of industrial prospect, and then was of personal interesting. For the trainees on protected structural vegetable farms, with a marketing channal was indentified as the main reason, and then followed by the background of production techniques, personal interesting, industrial development in prospect. For the minority of trainees, the experts of Taichung DAIS and the extension workers of local Farmers' Associations play an important role on the impact on trainees adopting new techniques, but the most trainees decided to adopt new techniques by themselves.
