    近年來關於人類社會如何持續性發展的議題被廣泛討論,聯合國於1992年發表的《21世紀議程》與世界銀行 於1995公佈拓展財富指標,均將社會資本視為永續發展的重要策略之一,而實際應用於社區研究上,社會資本指涉透過參與的機制,社區成員得以互動並產生關聯,進一步解決共同的問題,並邁向永續發展的目的。在本文中,將社會資本視為社區居民的集體資源,可促進民眾持續性參與社區工作,並透過民眾參與的過程,持續積累社會資本。 本文的研究對象是彰化縣伸港鄉泉厝社區,此社區為一典型鄉村社區,在居民積極參與口袋公園的營造過程中,逐漸發展出緊密的社會網絡,並建立對於社區環境維護的共識。在研究過程中,首先檢視泉厝村口袋公園的經營模式,探討在此一公共空間中,居民社會關係的建立與轉變,並分析營造、維護、使用口袋公園的過程中,社會資本的形成、累積與變化。研究結果發現,經過社區營造口袋公園的歷程,居民透過實際參與,可增進認同感、強化社會關係,進而厚植社會資本,社會資本的形成與累積,有助於社區持續性經營。The issues of how human society can be persistently developed have been widely discussed in recent years. “Agenda 21” announced by United Nations in 1992 and Nation Wealth Index published by World Bank in 1995 both regard social capital as one of the most crucial policies for sustainable development. Social capital, in terms of practical applications in community research, refers to connections formed by community members who choose to involve in certain participant mechanisms to solve their problems facing in common and then consequently to move towards the goal of sustainable development. Social capital, therefore in the study, is regared as a aggregative resource which are able to prompt group members to take part in community work, and then to accumulate more resources through the whole process of public participation. The study area in this research is Chyuan-Tsuon Community in Shenkang Township, Changhua County, which is a rural community. In this community, members have developed a very close social network and established the consensus in environment protection by actively engaging in the process constructing of Pocket Park. The study has investigated how social relationship among the members has been built up and what has been changed by examining operation patterns of the Pocket Park in Chyuan-Tsuon Community, and has further observed the generation, accumulation and changes of social capital by analyzing production, maintenance and use of the project construction. The research findings indicate that members participating in the project of the Pocket Park can actually enforce their sense of recognition, strengthen social relationship and, moreover, enrich social capital, which are very much helpful to approach to the goal of sustainable community.第一章 緒論-----------------------------------1第一節 研究動機-----------------------------1第二節 研究目的-----------------------------3第三節 研究流程-----------------------------4第四節 研究架構-----------------------------5二章 文獻回顧-------------------------------6第一節 社會資本理論-------------------------6第二節 民眾參與-----------------------------20第三節 民眾參與與社會資本之關係探討---------24第四節 口袋公園的建置理念-------------------28三章 研究設計與方法-------------------------31第一節 研究設計-----------------------------31第二節 研究方法-----------------------------32四章口袋公園的營造與發展-泉厝社區個案探討--36一節 研究區域------------------------------36二節 民眾參與網絡的建立與運作--------------46三節 泉厝社區口袋公園的發展過程------------68五章 泉厝社區社會資本之積累與變化-----------78一節 泉厝社區口袋公園經營模式與社會資本之關係--78二節 影響泉厝社區社會資本遞嬗的因素--------87六章 結論與建議---------------------------91一節 研究結論-----------------------------91二節 研究限制與建議-----------------------93考文獻--------------------------------------9

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed

    Variations on the Author

    “Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship

    Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis

    Full text link
    We provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis

    Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts

    Full text link
    We conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more sophisticated methods

    koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist

    No full text
    We have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used

    Author Under Sail The Imagination of Jack London, 1893-1902

    No full text
    In Author Under Sail, Jay Williams offers the first complete literary biography of Jack London as a professional writer engaged in the labor of writing. It examines the authorial imagination in London's work, the use of imagination in both his fiction and nonfiction, and the ways he defined imagination in the creative process in his business dealings with his publishers, editors, and agents. In this first volume of a two-volume biography, Williams traverses the years 1893 to 1902, from London's "Story of a Typhoon" to The People of the Abyss. The Jack London who emerges in the pages of Author Under Sail is a writer whose partnership with publishers, most notably his productive alliance with George Brett of Macmillan, was one of the most formative in American literary history. London pioneered many author models during the heyday of realism and naturalism, blurring the boundaries of these popular genres by focusing on absorption and theatricality and the representation of the seen and unseen. London created an impassioned, sincere, and extremely personal realism unlike that of other American writers of the time. Author Under Sail is a literary tour de force that reveals the full range of London as writer, creative citizen, and entrepreneur at the same time it sheds light on the maverick side of machine-age literature.Intro -- Title Page -- Copyright Page -- Dedication -- Contents -- Acknowledgments -- Introduction -- 1.
