  • A Study of Networking and Utilization of Resources for Long-Term Care

Yao2, Po-Tsung Chen3, Ju-Huey Wen4, Li-Fan Liu3 (1.Department of Applied Philosophy, Chang Jung Christian University, Taiwan; 2. Department of Architecture, National Cheng Kung University, Taiwan; 3. Institute of Gerontology, National Cheng Kung University, Taiwan; 4. Cha-Nan University of Pharmacy and Science, Taiwan) Abstract: This research targeted five community based long-term care facilities in Tainan and the local chiefs of neighborhood; reference materials are the official disaster precaution data and foreign literature review. This research discusses how these long-term care facilities interact with the community network during flood. The goal is to find out a mode which could connect community organizations and community network under Taiwanese social structure. Taiwan has experienced several periods of community development and movements; the civil power is getting strong. However, the interaction and mutual-aid with long-term care facilities needs further establishment and reinforcement. This research takes various research methods, including interview, on-site observations and analysis of literature. The results and literature review have similar findings about long-term care facilities’ relationship with community during flood. Although this issue ought to be emphasized and national disaster precaution system has gone deep into villages, care facilities still face many unsolved issues during disaster, such as uncompleted flood insurance, limits of community’s mobilization, and the support of government’s administrative order to mutual aid between care facilities.
