近年來，台灣經濟快速成長，社經環境急遽改變，農業所得偏低，導致都市中大量農地荒廢，他方面都市居民卻缺乏良好戶外休閒場所，解決之道，當以設立市民農園最為可行。 在國外，市民農園具有悠久歷史，國內則屬萌芽階段，故在推行方式，經營管理及法令上均面臨諸多問題，有待解決。本論文目的即在探討市民農園之功能和性質，並對台灣推行狀況做一通盤瞭解，吸取國外推廣經驗，以作為台灣大量推廣之參考，提出發展策略，使市民農園得予順暢推廣至全島。 本文先由相關文獻，就市民農園之類型、功能及法令等加以歸納整理，再以台北市兩個市民農園之現況加以調查、訪問、並配合問卷調查方式，彙集有關資料加以統計分析，然後再與日本之市民農園相比較，而獲得研究結果和建議。 本研究之結論，有以下幾點：(1)市民農園在近年內當成台灣市民休閒活動主流，需求量亦會快速增加(2)市民農園之經營理念，已漸為農民認同，樂於提供土地，開設市民農園，故供給量亦可持續增加(3)台灣推行市民農園所面臨之問題，主要在於法令上之困擾。(4)市民農園具有公共財性質，可為政府社會福利措施之一，故政府應積極介入併提供土地廣為設立。(5)推廣單位宜由行政院農委會全權負責，以利全面推展。並適時修訂法令規章，使市民農園得健全發展。 本研究之結果除肯定市民農園之功能，提供國外推廣經驗供有識之士參考外，並建議有關單位加強市民農園宣導工作，儘速制訂〝市民農園發展條例〞，以加速台灣市民農園之推廣。

Official planning documents and strategies often look at cities from above neglecting people’s experiences and practices. Meanwhile cities as meaningful places are constructed though citizens’ practices, memories and ties with their surroundings. The purpose of this phenomenological study is to discover people’s bonds with their urban allotment gardens – dachas – in the Russian city of Kaliningrad and to explore the significance of these bonds for city development. The phenomenon of the dacha has a long history in Russia. Similar to urban allotment gardens in other countries, dachas are an essential part of the city landscape in many post-socialist countries but differ by their large scale. Recent decades have brought diversity into the urban dacha areas of Russia and express a shift away from their primary function of recreational horticulture towards a greater variety in usage, including housing. Due to multiple legal frameworks these areas have become special enclaves with haphazard development, inadequate levels of infrastructure and low quality of self-build houses. Urban dachas can be examined as an example of both post-socialist suburbanization and informal settlement. In this thesis the concept of place attachment, derived from the works of human geographers and environmental psychologists, is used as both the theoretical and methodological lens to look at people-place relations in urban dacha areas. The empirical evidence for this study was gathered through interviews and observations in Kaliningrad where urban dachas comprise 11% of the city’s territory. To capture the different aspects of place attachment in these areas the data was categorised according to common themes.The findings of this study show the complexity of the bonds between people and their urban allotment gardens. Despite all the hardships, these places provide their residents an opportunity for independence and self-realization. The respondents demonstrated an energy and aspiration to achieve increased well-being for themselves and their families, however the lack of resources and institutions hinders the development of place attachment in urban dacha areas. The identified features of people’s bonds with their dachas should not only be preconditions for urban planning but also an integral part of the planning and development process. This study also tests the application of the concept of place attachment for urban studies.
