摘要

近年來關於人類社會如何持續性發展的議題被廣泛討論，聯合國於1992年發表的《21世紀議程》與世界銀行 於1995公佈拓展財富指標，均將社會資本視為永續發展的重要策略之一，而實際應用於社區研究上，社會資本指涉透過參與的機制，社區成員得以互動並產生關聯，進一步解決共同的問題，並邁向永續發展的目的。在本文中，將社會資本視為社區居民的集體資源，可促進民眾持續性參與社區工作，並透過民眾參與的過程，持續積累社會資本。
本文的研究對象是彰化縣伸港鄉泉厝社區，此社區為一典型鄉村社區，在居民積極參與口袋公園的營造過程中，逐漸發展出緊密的社會網絡，並建立對於社區環境維護的共識。在研究過程中，首先檢視泉厝村口袋公園的經營模式，探討在此一公共空間中，居民社會關係的建立與轉變，並分析營造、維護、使用口袋公園的過程中，社會資本的形成、累積與變化。研究結果發現，經過社區營造口袋公園的歷程，居民透過實際參與，可增進認同感、強化社會關係，進而厚植社會資本，社會資本的形成與累積，有助於社區持續性經營。

The issues of how human society can be persistently developed have been widely discussed in recent years. “Agenda 21” announced by United Nations in 1992 and Nation Wealth Index published by World Bank in 1995 both regard social capital as one of the most crucial policies for sustainable development. Social capital, in terms of practical applications in community research, refers to connections formed by community members who choose to involve in certain participant mechanisms to solve their problems facing in common and then consequently to move towards the goal of sustainable development. Social capital, therefore in the study, is regared as a aggregative resource which are able to prompt group members to take part in community work, and then to accumulate more resources through the whole process of public participation.
The study area in this research is Chyuan-Tsuon Community in Shenkang Township, Changhua County, which is a rural community. In this community, members have developed a very close social network and established the consensus in environment protection by actively engaging in the process constructing of Pocket Park. The study has investigated how social relationship among the members has been built up and what has been changed by examining operation patterns of the Pocket Park in Chyuan-Tsuon Community, and has further observed the generation, accumulation and changes of social capital by analyzing production, maintenance and use of the project construction. The research findings indicate that members participating in the project of the Pocket Park can actually enforce their sense of recognition, strengthen social relationship and, moreover, enrich social capital, which are very much helpful to approach to the goal of sustainable community.
