二戰結束後，陸續從中國大陸移居臺灣近60多萬的軍人及數目不詳的眷屬，造就後來的眷村文化。「眷村」及其代名詞「眷舍」分別在1950年及1948年首次出現在國防部的檔案中，正好與1949年前後從中國大陸來臺灣的大批軍民有關。此外，1950年1月聯勤總司令部設立軍眷管理處，專責眷舍的管理，顯示解決來臺軍民的住宿，是個迫切的問題。本文探討眷村生活文化的形塑過程，從身份取得的困難與寄人籬下的困境為起點，多數伴隨政府來臺灣的軍眷，要到1950年代後半期由婦聯會分期建設的軍眷住宅開始，才能獲得較為優良的居住環境。此外，在軍眷的管理與福利、醫療保健與保險、教育、急難救助，甚至傳統市場與都市計畫等面向闡述，形塑出眷村生活文化的過程。 After World War II, nearly more than 600,000 of the military personnel and an unknown number of dependents from mainland China were successively relocated to Taiwan, creating a later culture culture of military housing quarters. The "military housing quarter" and its synonym "household dormitory" first appeared in the archives of the Ministry of National Defense in 1950 and 1948, respectively, which were related to the large number of military personnel and civilians who came to Taiwan from mainland China around 1949. This paper explores the process of shaping the life culture of military housing quarter, starting from the difficulties in obtaining the proof of identity and living under someone else's house. It is not until the second half of the 1950s, when the military housing were built by National Women's League in phases, most of the military families that accompanied the government to Taiwan began to be able to obtain a better living environment. In addition, the process of shaping the culture of military housing quarter is described in the fields of the management and welfare of military families, health care and insurance, education, emergency assistance, and even the traditional market, urban planning, etc.
