Concentration of Vulnerable Groups and Community Governance: A Case Study of the South Airport Public Housing Community, Taipei City(弱勢團體聚集與社區治理:以台北市南機場社區為例)

摘要:

Vulnerable groups often live on the margins of cities, and need to work together in order to meet their needs. The South Airport Public Housing Community (SAPHC) in Taipei City was once a showcase public housing project in Taiwan. However, the community now has a high percentage of low-income households, elderly residents (including elderly living alone), people with disabilities, and immigrants. Mr. Fang Ho-Sheng, the borough chief, led a team fighting for community transformation and developing innovative practices that benefit vulnerable groups. This paper will analyze community governance and social service provision in the SAPHC, highlighting effective solutions and achievements in community governance.
