在地保育志願力量萌現之探討

Abstract

本研究採質性研究，透過個別深入訪談、參與觀察、文件蒐集等方式收集資料，再運用主題分析法對文本進行分析，旨在探究促成三位長期不辭辛勞志願從事棲地營造的永和社區大學學員的力量所在。 研究發現過去與自然接觸的正向與負向重要生命經驗，影響他們投入永和社區大學棲地營造的行列。由於長期浸淫在環保領域裡，新的生命經驗不斷地產生，當新、舊生命經驗相互融合產生更新的體驗，更新的體驗會增強他們的環保信念，進而促成志願力量的產生。重要生命經驗是促成研究對象萌現棲地營造志願力量的主因。

Adopting the qualitative research approach, using deep interview, participant observation and literature review to collect information, and implemeting thematic analysis, this study aims to explore the sources of strengths for three volunteers of the Yonghe Community College who engage long term habitat restoration work voluntarily not to shrink from toil and hardship. This study finds that the past positive and negative significant life experiences to interact with the nature motivate three informants to contribute to habitat restoration in Yonghe Community College. Being involved in the environmental protection regime in the long run, it generates continously new life experiences. As the new and old life experiences mixing together, their belief on environmental conservation are enhanced which contributing to generation of volunteer action. Then newer experiences would be produced when the original and new life experiences merge with each other, and the newer those would enhance their belief of environmental conservation. Thus the belief contributes to forming the volunteer action.
