砌回記憶中的家:日光小林社區災後自主重建歷程之探討

Abstract

高雄小林村遭受莫拉克風災侵襲，將近500位村民遭受土石掩埋死亡 。災後的小林子弟以自主重建的方式興建了日光小林社區，其重建歷程成為臺灣近期災後社區重建極為重要的案例。本研究係針對小林村之個案研究，發現自主重建是日光小林主動爭取才獲得的待遇，此外自主重建也是受災社區能夠成功重建的關鍵。本研究進一步歸納出災後社區自主重建模式，包含三個主要動力：社區領袖與團體動力、社區意識與社區復原力，以及包括住屋、經濟與社會文化等面向，兼顧包容性與目的性之拼圖式家園重建。

Typhoon Morakot triggered enormous mudslides and killed nearly five hundred people living in the Xiaolin Village in Kaohsiung, Taiwan. Xiaolin’s survivors and family members reconstructed the community – Sunshine Xiaolin Community, and it became a well-known successful case of post-disaster reconstruction. The study analyzed the Xiaolin’s reconstruction process and found that the community’s autonomy in reconstruction was not taken for granted; rather, it was earned by villagers’ aggressive fighting for autonomy. Additionally, it is found that autonomous reconstruction is critical for the success. Based on the case analysis of the Sunshine Xiaolin Community, the study developed a model of autonomous reconstruction of post-disaster community, and the model include three closely inter-connected dynamics: (1) community leadership and group dynamics, (2) community consciousness and community resilience, and (3) a “piecing together approach” that encompasses all of the residential, economic, and socio-cultural aspects with good balance of inclusiveness and purposefulness for community reconstruction.
