保育與政治團體的意識形態互動─以台灣Facebook資料為例

Abstract

近年來環保及動保等保育議題越來越受到重視，從許多社會運動中可以看到保育團體會和一些特定政黨較為親近，以台灣社會來說可以看到反對核能的環保團體會較親近民主進步黨，而許多文獻也顯示保育團體的發展脈絡將隨著政治環境的改變而有所不同。本篇論文將使用2014到2016年的去識別化Facebook資料進行主成分分析及社會網絡的視覺化分析，想要觀察在大眾較容易接觸到的社群媒體中，是否也能看到保育及政治意識形態上特別的互動模式。研究結果發現台灣保育團體中的環保團體的確與民主進步黨的網絡關係密切，而動保團體的立場則較為獨立，較少與特定的政治人物有網絡連結。

Issues of conservation, including environment and animal protection, are gaining more attention nowadays, and many social movements can be seen that conservation groups are closer to certain political parties. In Taiwan, we can see that groups opposed to nuclear power are closer to DPP (Democratic Progressive Party), and many literatures show that the development of conservation groups will change with the political environment. This paper will use the Facebook data from 2014 to 2016, presenting principal component analysis and social networks to see whether there are special relations between conservation and political groups in social medias, which are more accessible to public. The results show that the environmental groups in conservation groups in Taiwan are indeed closely related to the DPP, while the animal protection groups’ positions are more independent and less connected to specific politicians.
