不只是住在一起：探討共居住宅生活中的社群凝聚

Abstract

目標：共居住宅（Co-Housing）近來於全球興起，是一種與傳統租房不同的居住型態，強調共居者之間的社群互動及公共空間的安排設計。據研究顯示，透過有意識的設計，建構利於互動的空間或機制，往往能促進社群與鄰里關係發展。本研究將以共宅一生股份有限公司經營之玖樓共生公寓（9 floor co-living apartment）為實習場域，探討共居住宅中的社群關係與凝聚力如何產生，並試圖回答下列研究問題：1.共居住宅中的社群與活動有什麼樣的特質？2.如何發展共居住宅中的社群凝聚？ 方法：為理解共居住宅場域中的獨特的社群關係，並記錄居住者之間的互動模式及經驗，故本研究採質性研究方法，以玖樓經營之臺北市某共生公寓為田野，研究者居住於其中，進行為期半年的實地參與式觀察，並製作田野紀錄進行分析。 結果：玖樓做為共居公寓社群之經營與中介者，擁有申請篩選與媒合入住者機制並透過網路帄台形成有層次的網絡，以線上線下的活動連結共居社群內的成員，這樣的機制即對室友組成與特質產生影響。而在共居公寓社群成員中若要形成較為緊密的連結，經常仰賴核心成員的活躍與主動的特質來帶動成員的向心力，加以這樣的社群關係背後存在的非長久過渡特性，形成特殊的互動與弱連結，是共居住宅中的社群與凝聚特色。

Purpose: Co-Housing is becoming a global trend: it is a way of living that is different from traditional leased living space and emphasizes the arrangement of communal interaction and public space between the co-habitants. According to research, the conscious design of living space to create interactive spaces or mechanisms can induce the development of communal and neighborhood relationships. This research focuses on the '9-floor co-living apartment' of 9Floor Space Company’s practice venue, and discuss the formation process of the communal relationship and coalescence of the cohousing space, and answer the following research questions. 1. What are the characteristics of community and activity in a co-housing space? 2. How to develop communal coalescence in a co-housing environment? Method: To understand the unique communal relationship within a co-housing space, and record the modes of interaction and experience among co-habitants, this research adopts the qualitative research method and use a certain co-housing managed by 9Floor space as the field to study the co-habitants. The study conducted a six-period participatory observation, and produce a field documentary for analysis. Results: As the manager and mediator, possessing a mechanism to filter applications and matching co-habitants and form a layered internet through an internet platform. The platform connects communal members through on-line and off-line activities, which would impact the makeup and characteristics of the co-habitants. If a tighter connection among community members in the co-housing space is to be created, the vitality and active qualities of the core members are often relied upon for group cohesion. As such communities are not long-term relationships and have transitional characteristics that form special interactions and weak ties that define the communal and coalescing characteristics of the co-housing community.
