| Popis: | 83 This research studies the actions taken by ten communities who were awarded with "environmental community" by the Taipei City in 1994. The researchers adopted in-depth interview with these community leaders to collect their action experiences at community level. A need-asset-process-outcome model was generated to help the content analysis. The result are listed below. 1.The environmental actions taken by majority of interviewed communities were cleaning environment, planting flowers around their house, and recycling. Only a few communities have already held environmental education activities for their children. So far, these actions belong to the categories of "eco-management" and "persuation". 2.The cause of taking actions in these communities were due to their perception of the serious environmental problems in their communities or compliance with the government''s expection. Several communities took actions because they hoped to have a good quality of environment. 3.The community leaders usually recruited housewives and retired people to take the actions. The budget cane from parking fee, cleaning fee or funding of local governments. Few communites searched assistance from NGO or local government for information support. 4.A few communities involved residents in the cleaning and planting work, while the other hired labors to do these. The communities leaders corrected residents'' unfriendly environmental behaviors through group pressure, modeling, punishment and reward system. 5.The environmental quality in these ten communities improved after the actions. In several communities, community organizations grew up and more residents recognized the value of their own communities during the environmental actions. |
