本文以後現代的消費理論出發,探討台北小印尼文化與經濟場域的發展以及場域中多元消費者之消費特性與內容。主要有以下三項研究發現: (一)小印尼場域因地理區位因素,因而有著多元的消費客群,然其隨著當中的主要消費群體-移工的出沒而有生意上起伏的消長變化,且受於空間處於都更過渡階段,因此具備不確定、脆弱的特質。 (二)華人新移民以其各項資本優勢成為場域中的主要經營者,在經營上雖不時流露其作為華人的身分特質,但所提供之商品與服務仍是以富含印尼文化符號者為主,且未受時間改變,始終維持著「族裔經濟」的發展模式。 (三)小印尼中不同身分別者具備不同消費特性。其中,不只前來的目的與考量因素有所不同,在消費內容上也有所差異,凸顯了各身分別者間所具備之相異文化與社會資本含量。
