共享空間如何協助社會創新組織永續發展- 以Impact Hub Taipei為例

Abstract

本研究探討共享空間對社會創新組織永續發展的影響，以Impact Hub Network和Impact Hub Taipei為主要案例進行分析。隨著社會創新在全球範圍內日益重要，共享空間作為一種新興的工作模式，為社會創新組織提供了重要支持。研究採用量化與質性研究方法，結合文獻分析、案例研究和深度訪談，深入探討共享空間如何促進社會創新組織的發展。

研究結果表明，共享空間透過降低營運成本、促進資源共享、培育創新環境和建立社群網絡等方式，對社會創新組織的永續發展產生積極影響。Impact Hub Taipei的成功經驗揭示了七個關鍵因素：社會變革願景、社群凝聚力、空間主持人制度、資源學習共享、社群間合作、空間設計與功能性，以及Impact Hub Network品牌效益。

透過Impact Hub會員大調查和個案訪談，研究進一步驗證了這些關鍵因素的有效性。結果顯示，Impact Hub Taipei不僅提供了經濟實惠的辦公環境，還創造了一個促進知識交流、合作創新和國際連結的生態系統，有效支持了社會創新組織的成長與發展。

基於研究發現，本文為共享空間經營者、社會創新組織和政策制定者提供了具體建議，旨在進一步促進社會創新生態系統的發展。研究結果不僅豐富了共享經濟和社會創新領域的理論知識，還為實務工作者提供了有價值的參考，對推動社會創新和永續發展具有重要意義。

This study examines the impact of shared spaces on the sustainable development of social innovation organizations, focusing on Impact Hub Network and Impact Hub Taipei as primary case studies. As social innovation gains increasing importance globally, shared spaces have emerged as a novel working model, providing crucial support for social innovation organizations. The research employs qualitative methods, combining literature analysis, case studies, and in-depth interviews to thoroughly investigate how shared spaces facilitate the development of social innovation organizations.

The findings indicate that shared spaces positively influence the sustainable development of social innovation organizations by reducing operational costs, promoting resource sharing, fostering innovative environments, and building community networks. The success of Impact Hub Taipei reveals seven key factors: social change vision, community cohesion, space hosting system, resource learning and sharing, inter-community collaboration, space design and functionality, and the brand effect of the Impact Hub Network.

Through a comprehensive member survey and case interviews, the study further validates the effectiveness of these key factors. Results show that Impact Hub Taipei not only provides an economically viable office environment but also creates an ecosystem that promotes knowledge exchange, collaborative innovation, and international connections, effectively supporting the growth and development of social innovation organizations.

Based on these findings, the paper offers specific recommendations for shared space operators, social innovation organizations, and policymakers, aiming to further promote the development of the social innovation ecosystem. The research results not only enrich the theoretical knowledge in the fields of shared economy and social innovation but also provide valuable references for practitioners, holding significant implications for advancing social innovation and sustainable development.
