「永續發展」是21世紀最重要的關鍵詞，它之所以關鍵是因為過去的發展造成了目前不永續的情況。在過去，大學被戲稱為學術的象牙塔，就是常與社會脫節，漠視時代發展的趨勢。教改之後，目前台灣地區大學院校已有167所，而大學與社區的關係已從過去劃地自限及消極脫離，轉變為交流頻繁與積極進取。特別在促成社區的總體營造方面，大學扮演著舉足輕重的角色。本研究目的主要在研究，建構永續性大學城的適用性因素及做為城鄉永續發展中心之可行性。經過良好的規劃設計之後，以永續經營之理念建構之大學城，可以讓大學城在整個社區的意義也與在地文化、在地人的生活合而為一，並能間接帶動該社區未來之發展。並實際以南華大學為案例，從「經濟產業」、「環境管理」、「社區經營」、「學術專長」等角度為考量，進行SWOT分析並輔以問卷調查法，透過三重盈餘的觀點--滿足環境保護、經濟繁榮及社會福祉三方面的平衡，國內外學府、社區的永續發展相關指標進而設計一份問卷，以大林鎮居民為母群，採隨機抽樣方式抽出211個樣本，利用自填問卷方式進行分析。所得資料以因素分析法、單因子變異數分析等統計方法進行分析，試圖建構一個以學生和社區居民需求為主，並以永續發展理念為基礎的大學城，使學校和大林鎮形成共生平衡的共同體，以帶動大林鎮未來之發展。重要結果歸納如下： 利用因素分析法，所萃取出五個建構大學城的重要因素，分別是「提昇產業競爭力並與社區居民建立良好關係」、「規劃社區教育課程與塑造社區文化」、「落實產業污染改善計劃並推廣宣導環境保護工作」、「學校資源共同分享與建立環境資料庫」，及「提昇居住環境品質並落實環境保護教育」，各大學可以就此五個構面作為建構大學城的參考。 Sustainable development is a key phase of the 21st century. In the past, college was considered an ivory tower for its isolation with the community and society. Lately, the relationship between the two has been improved greatly. Especially after the educational reform, the number of college increased tremendously, and colleges has played a crucial role in the integrated community development. These well-designed college towns under the concept of sustainable development not just can unite college and community culturally, but also can promote the development of the community. In this study, Nan Hua University of Dalin was used to demonstrate how a sustainable college town would be formed through an integrated community development and triple bottom line perspectives. And in order for the planning can really agree with the needs of local people, a questionnaire was designed and distributed to the residents of Dalin to understand what they think an ideal Dalin college town looks like. Based on the results of the questionnaire, the factor analysis was applied to extract the five most important factors of establishing a sustainable college town, they are to enhance the industrial competitiveness and establish good relationship with local community; to draw up the community educational program and mold the community culture; to carry out pollution abatement program and make environmental protection activities known; to share resources of all different schools and build up environmental database, and to improve the living quality and implement the environmental education. It is believed that the results of this study could be used as referral for establishing other sustainable college town in Taiwan.
