沏一壺茶鄉雲華甘-坪林社造的十年紀實

Abstract

社區發展過往著重在經濟開發，許多城市因為工業化而有蓬勃生機。待社區建設穩定過後才進而強調人文演進與歷史連結，進而重視地區文化。而如今隨著環境永續的觀念深入地方發展思維之後，社區的再造須要以更宏觀的視野來規劃。本研究著重在宏觀生態城市發展應具備的面向：生態城市、經濟發展與人文社會，以這三個面向進行討論，並以新北市坪林區作為個案，以當地建設紀實的方式，來論述1990 年代坪林地區如何在社區行動者的規劃與推動，同時結合當地居民的參與，奠定了一個具備發展永續生態城市的基礎。研究的方法採用主要關鍵社區行動者個人參與社區建設的過程所作的紀實，以及配合坪林地區相關之歷史統計資料加以佐證。本文企圖藉由社區發展紀實的方式論述發展永續社區的三要素（生態城市、經濟發展、人文社會）奠定了坪林地區成為生態城市的典範。期待藉由本文的紀實，讓社區相關的行動者與研究者，了解一個生態城市應當注意的發展歷程。

Local community is a place to provide the people here abundant natural and social resources for a better and sustainable way of living. However, in the past, community development mainly focuses on economic achievement so that residents can live with high modern quality of life. The cost of such modern urbanized way of living is loss of biodiversity, ecological wholeness, social connection, and community attachment. It’s time to turn this human exceptionalism paradigm (HEP) to new ecological paradigm (NEP). That is, we recognize the innovative capacity of humans, but know humbly that humans are still ecologically interdependent as with other species. Therefore, this study chooses Pinglin, a remote local community in Northern Taiwan, as the case to review its history of development between 1990 and 2000 through the lens of eco-valley perspective, especially emphasizing how the economic dynamics and social dynamics drive local sustainable development. Data collection is based on the author’s personal experience of being an active community practitioner and the mayor. Through self narrative study, the author presents the road map of building an eco-valley with experienceful question-solving approach for community related workers and activists.
