旅台金門同鄉會之比較性研究

本文採比較性研究方法，針對台灣共十九個金門同鄉會，從1964年最早在台灣設立新北市金門同鄉會到2020年止，依據成立時間、會員數、屆數、會館、任期、理事長（大、小金門）比例、各縣（市）理事長分布、性別比例等，嘗試找出一普遍性法則。經研究得知，最早成立金門同鄉會為新北市，同時新北市也是登記會員數最多的縣市，台中市浯江屆數最長，目前僅八個縣（市）有金門會館，理事長任期普遍為二年，比例上大都以大金門人為主占80％，五鄉鎮理事長人次最多是金沙鎮，最少是金湖鎮，在100位理事長中，性別比例上普遍以男性為主，多達95位男性當選理事長。

The comparative study method was adopted in this study to examine a total of 19 Kinmen Clan Associations (KCAs) in Taiwan. The study period was from 1964 to 2020: The start year was when the New Taipei City KCA was established as the first KCA in Taiwan. Various factors were used in an attempt to derive some general patterns. These included the establishment date of the KCAs, number of members, number of terms of office, duration of each term, guild halls, proportion of chairpersons originating from Great versus Lesser Kinmen, distribution of chairpersons in terms of originating counties (cities), and gender ratio. The findings confirmed that New Taipei City has the first KCA and is also the county with the largest number of registered members. The Wujiang KCA in Taichung City has the most number of terms of office. Presently, KCA Guild Halls are found in only eight counties (cities). The term of office for the chairpersons generally lasts two years, and the majority of chairpersons (80%) originate from Great Kinmen. Among the five townships, Jinsha and Jinhu produced the most and least number of chairpersons, respectively. The gender ratio of the 100 chairpersons was predominantly male, with as many as 95 males having been elected to the position.
