摘要

許多研究顯示青少女比較不愛運動，因此體適能比男生差，原因之一可能與運動空間使用有關，因此本研究要探索青少女對運動遊憩空間的知覺。本研究採取質量合併方法，詢問青少女對社區、學校、及家裡20個運動遊憩空間的知覺。研究對象為花蓮兩所男女混合高中女生，於2004年1月蒐集問卷437份。研究結果顯示：(1)高中女生偏愛購物中心、泡沬紅茶店等靜態空間，最喜愛的空間是臥房，感到最不自在的場所是公共游泳池、網咖及電動遊樂場，(2)多數女生(82%)不喜歡學校運動空間採取男女隔離政策，(3)女生認為男生體適能比女生好的原因包括男生比較愛運動、社會對外貌的期待、女生天生孱弱不適合運動、女生偏愛靜態活動。研究結論有二，(1)學校與社區的運動遊憩空間是性別化的，(2)女生運動阻礙主要來自結構性意識型態阻礙。文末並對教育與體育工作者、媒體及父母提出建議，文末並來研究提出建言。

Research reveal that girls do not favor sports and not as fit as boys. One of the reasons may relate closely to sport and recreation spaces. The study explores adolescent girls' perceptions on sport and recreational spaces, including 20 school, community, and home spaces. The population is two Hualien senior high school girls. Data collection was completed in January 2004, obtaining 437 questionnaires. The results indicated that girls preferred inactive public spaces such as shopping centers, tea houses, and fast food restaurants. The space girls like most was their bedrooms. They perceived that boys occupied all sporting spaces as well as Internet cafés and game arcades. Most girls didnt like sex-segregation policy for school sporting spaces. Lastly girls provided four reasons explaining why boys' physical fitness levels were better than girls. Reasons included boys' greater interest in sport; societal expectations about appearance; girls' myth about their inappropriateness in sport genetically; girls' preference for passive alternatives. Two conclusions were drawn. First, the school and community sport and recreational spaces are gendered. Second, girls' sport constraint is mainly structural or ideological. Implications and suggestions are made for practice and future research.
