摘要

本文討論徐震教授對台灣社區發展理論與實務的貢獻，以示對徐教授一生從事社區發展教學與研究的尊敬。首先，從美國社區發展的來龍去脈下手，以利作為論述徐教授對社區發展的貢獻的背景。其次，回顧台灣社區發展的歷史，以利對照徐教授發表有關社區發展不同議題的時空背景。最後才分別討論徐教授對社區研究、社區發展方法、國際社區發展趨勢、台灣社區發展評論，以及社區發展的前瞻。無疑地，徐教授是台灣社區發展史上，引進知識、推廣方法、針砭功過、前瞻趨勢的第一人，以此薄文論之，實不足窺其堂奧。

This article is on Professor Hsu's honor to devote to the theory and practice of Community Development (CD) in Taiwan. One of the few social workers in Taiwan who consciously emphasize and constantly remind the CD of its philosophy and theory base is James Hsu. When CD becomes more popular and important in Taiwan in the 1970s, the necessity for determining its philosophy and theory becomes more urgent. James Hsu's contribution is considered important enough by his colleagues for them to organize a conference for the purpose of continuing the research into the relationship of philosophy and theory to CD. Because of Hsu's importance in the fields of CD in Taiwan, it seems justifiable to extract from his thinking his basic philosophy and theory and the way he related it to the field of CD. This philosophy and theory must be looked at in the framework of his time, but it is also necessary to determine what parts of it can be valuable for community workers today. In this article I examine the concepts and philosophy of CD around the world firstly. Secondary, I review the history of community development in Taiwan. Finally, I discuss Professor Hsu's contributions to the philosophy, theories and skills of CD based on the literatures which Professor Hsu has published in the journals in Taiwan since the l960s while the Taiwanese government launched the community development projects in order to improve the people's quality of life.
