摘要

宗教信仰是人類社會生活中非常重要的一部分，人們任何事都習慣求助於神靈。宗教活動可說是人們尋求釋放壓力和紓解身心的最佳活動，它可以幫助人類在緊張忙碌的現代社會中得以放鬆、消除疲勞，進而達到休閒的效果。因此本研究以東港東隆宮為實證研究區域，研究目的旨在探討東港東隆宮之地方居民的宗教活動涉入與地方依附之間的關係。
本研究工具採用問卷設計，抽樣方式為便利抽樣，並以東港鎮東隆宮為研究場域，研究對象為前往東隆宮參拜之地方居民，共得有效問卷256份，回收率為91.42%；研究結果顯示，前往東港東隆宮之地方居民以31~50歲的已婚有小孩者，且具有高中職學歷、但無經常性收入的退休人員、家管及學生居多；前往東隆宮主要以機車為交通工具，並與家人共同前往，主要目的是前往參拜且多為1個月去一次。在不同地方居民屬性之性別、年齡、教育程度、主要目的及前往頻率對宗教活動涉入方面具有顯著差異；在不同地方居民屬性之婚姻、年齡、教育程度、主要目的、同行者及前往頻率對地方依附方面具有顯著性差異。宗教活動涉入與地方依附呈現正相關，當宗教活動涉入程度越高者，對於地方依附表現也越好，而地方依附的情感越好，則宗教活動涉入程度也相對提高。這表示地方居民藉由宗教活動涉入，對東港東隆宮產生地方依附，因此更了解東隆宮之宗教場所，進而對東隆宮產生各種功能上之心靈上的依賴及認同，也因對東港東隆宮產生依附感，進而增加對宗教活動的涉入程度。
