碩士 / 國立臺灣大學 / 農業推廣學研究所 / 93 / This study aims to adopt Norbert Elias’s Figuration Theory to explore the driving force, political and economic bonds, emotional bonds and the balance of power in the process of a rural community action. The project of “elderly lunch service” in Shchau Community at Jiaushi Township was selected as the sample community action to be analyzed. Participant observation ,face-to-face interview, and documental analysis were used in data collection in this case study.
The research finds that there are several driving forces in different stages of rural community action, including citizens’ expectation, decision-team’s commitment to community people, the accomplishment of government project, etc. Political, economic and emotional bonds between different actors are embedded in the community in order to activate community actions .The power balance among the actors can be destroyed due to many reasons such as over-claim of power by decision-team.
Some suggestions are recommended as follows:
1. Community actors have to maintain tight and balance bonds.
2. Dominant groups should utilize existent bonds properly and carefully.
3. Dominant groups are encouraged to create new useful bonds in order to enhance community development.
4. Comparative studies are needed in the future so as to figure out various patterns of community development
