公民社會與社群跨域治理是社區總體營造與生態城鎮轉型的重要關鍵因 素。自 1994 年以來，臺灣社區總體營造政策特別強調「社區自主」精神， 希望透過啟發居民參與公共事務的熱情，藉以凝聚社區共同體的意識，累積 公民社會能量。歷經 20 多年來的政策推動，不論方案設計或實務運作都已 累積不少的豐碩成果；然而，在邁向更健全的基層民主治理過程中，囿於舊 官僚思維、傳統社群結構、社造培力模式等問題與缺失，導致社區動能仍顯 不足，諸多治理困境尚待克服。本文基於筆者長期的參與觀察及行動研究， 嘗試援引兼具社群、跨域、治理 3 項特質的社群營造觀點，論述埔里鎮從 1999 年 921 大地震以來，社區總體營造與生態城鎮轉型的推動經驗。筆者 認為，社群跨域治理可作為下一波社區營造政策的價值理念，期盼經由本項 行動研究分析，增添城鎮轉型及永續發展的本土案例，並提供 1 個人文創新 與社會實踐的可行途徑。

Since 1994, The development of community self-governance in Taiwan have undergone many issues by the community empowerment policy of Taiwan, such as environmental conservation, landscape development, community-based industrial development, community-based healthcare, community safety and humanities education. In the practical experience, this study found some predicaments in three different community empowerment aspects in Taiwan, includes oldfashioned bureaucrat ideas of the policy implement, structure problems of the traditional community living, and empowerment strategy problems of professional organization. From the theoretical methods, the theory of community cross-boundary governance should be an appropriate approach for community empowerment. According the experience of transition Puli eco-township, the authors found that the transition eco-township had four elements of community governance: to have the eco- conservation consensus of community governance, to initiative interorganizations collaboration, to build cross-sector governance committees, to integrate trans-disciplinary knowledge.
