摘要

多年來地方文化館一直被詬病有著專業不足、人力稀薄、經費短缺、展示呆板等問題。解決上述問題的策略不在於增加專業人員、強化人員培訓、寬列經費等作為，而在於先了解國家主義對地方文化館的類型學錯置所導致的困境。本文主張應將地方文化館定位為參與型博物館，以其業餘性、常民性、灰色性等性格來成就一個具有實驗性的社會基地，並改弦易轍地以「社群營造」來取代「社區營造」精神，來實踐由下而上式公共參與、挖掘社群公共議題、活化地方資源、共同參與解決、並減少依賴公部門計畫經費等，此不但是地方文化永續經營的關鍵，也將是臺灣邁向公民社會的契機。

The local cultural museums in Taiwan have been criticized for many years as lacking manpower, budget, space, professionalism, etc.. To resolve the aforementioned issues, we first have to understand that nationalism has dominated and mis-located the local cultural museums for a long time. Therefore, rather than simply increasing budget, manpower, space, and professionalism, the local cultural museums should adopt the model of a participatory museum, which has the characteristics of embracing amateurism celebrating civic culture, showing gray areas, and supporting experimentations. These participatory museums should be run by local communities in order to promote public discussions on public issues. This paper suggests that these museums can become key players in promoting local sustainable development and civil society in Taiwan.
