Policy Models and Organizational Changes of Community Building in Taiwan——A Case Study of Three Rural Communities in Hualien County
[Objective/Meaning]The community building in Taiwan area of China has the dual attributes of both official policy and community practice,so we must fully understand it in order to better learn from its experience.[Methods/Procedures]From the perspective of organizational sociology,although the series of policies for the community construction were constantly changing,their basic conditions such as the landing methods,policy requirements,internal tension and so on have maintained a high degree of similarity,providing a relatively stable institutional environment for the community organizations.[Results/Conclusions]Combined with the practice of multiple communities,it was found that the community organizations would undergo a series of organizational changes in the process of community building under the constraints of the institutional environment,including the revival of community development association,the administration of social construction model,the bureaucracy of organizational structure,and the"positional suffering"and withdrawal of the community elites.The hierarchical transformation was a necessary condition for the success of community construction,but its"technical superiority"has also become the"technical barrier"relative to the community residents,bringing about the problems such as the alienation of community organization and the double division within the community.
