Tesearch on the Leisure and Recreation of Fishery Youth 4-H Club Teenagers in Taiwan / 台灣區漁村四健會青少年休閒活動之研究

碩士 / 國立臺灣師範大學 / 體育研究所 / 85 / With the democratization of politics, and rapid economic development of industrial and commercial society, Taiwanese people have become more and more aware of the importance of recreation. However, few people have done research on or have been concerned about the teenagers'' leisure activties in fishing villages. There existi an organization formed for the teenagers, the Fishery Youth 4-H Club. The recreational activities it holds have positive effects on the youth in fishing villages. Based on the relevant information I collect, I conduct analyses of documents: When the data were insufficient, I supplement the research with some interviews of people. The results of my research are as follows:
  1.Thanksto the democratization of politics, and the development of the economy, the GNP has greatly increased, and recreation has become a fad. The government policy toward fisheries also reflects this kind of current.
  2.The theme of the Fishery Youth 4-H Club focuses on "leisure and recreation", which combines education with enterainment. This is a factor that needs to be taken into account when we choose whatever activities to do.
  3.Concerning the aim of the Fishery Youth 4-H Club, during the time period of "the Project of Improving the Agricultural Structure to Increase the Income of Farmers", the implication of "recreation" was not yet explicit. It was not until the period of "the Integrated Mending Project for Agriculture" that its meaning became explicit. In the aspects of quantity, types and characteristics, the activities in the first half period are not as sufficient, compared with those in the last period. This indicates that the government began in the second period to pay attention to the potential problems in fishing villages. The contents of activities are characteristic of fishing villages. This is a point which deserves being worked on in the future.
  4.The farming and fishing villages are faced with the same problems, so they have attempted to solve population drain and the aging of the population. However, the farming villages and the fishing ones belong to different kinds of geographical environments. The activities of the Fishery Youth and the Farming Youth 4-H Club reflect the local characteristics. The Fishery Youth 4-H Club emphasizes the innovation and creativity in the contents of its activities. It also addresses the problem that people working for the Club often moonlight. The authorities concerned should view this as a sign of warning.
  5.Although the Fishery Youth 4-H Club is committed to the expansion of the organization and of the members, the external problems of the overemphasis on getting into a good school for advanced studies as well as the problem of funding make it difficult to have a breakthrough. Its development is thus limited. Even if there are about 3000 people who work for the Project, this only constitutes a small part of the total population of 500,000 in the fishing villages. This is a subject that the concerned should work on.
  6.While the Fishery Youth 4-H Club is devoted to developing the leisure and recreation in the fishing villages, there is still a lot of room for improvement. For example, make good use of the special environment and the resources of the fishing villages in order to cultivate the features of its activities. This not only helps those young people in fishing villages to understand and to protect their hometown, but also helps to preserve culture. Therefore it also serves as an important reference when we choose activities.
