南投縣五城社區民眾參與溪流保育組織運作與居民反應之研究

The purpose of this paper was to study institutional implementation and residential response in public participation for local stream conservation in the Wucheng community in Nantou County. We carefully studied the established background and implemented approach of Lein-Hua-Chih Stream Protection and Conservation Development Association through literature review, face-to-face interview, field observation, and a questionnaire survey. We also analyzed some of the more devoted members' participation motives, and studied the effect of stream conservation movement on local community. Residents actively participated in stream conservation and were persistently concerned with stream-regulated engineering. These not only emphasized public participation in environmental resource management, but also stressed community independence. From the beginning of environmental improvement to the time of community development, the purposes of stream conservation movement in the Wucheng village were to fulfill many important meanings. These included headlining community involvement, stimulating community consciousness, improving community cooperation, and increasing community management and independence ability.
