- 中文摘要:近二十年來台灣宗教地理研究，成果相當豐碩，其中主要是關於民間信仰的祭祀圈和神聖空間研究，前述兩者分別以傳統的社會關係和群體的空間意象為研究核心，似乎與理性行為無關。部份研究結果顯示某些非市場交易活動也具備著與經濟活動相同的行為法則，然則一般被視為是極度神聖的宗教活動是否也遵循著經濟行為法則，則是本研究的討論重點。如果宗教活動確實有一部份是理性選擇的結果，那麼在宗教地理的研究中結合經濟觀點的分析，將可以擴展宗教地理研究的視野。 本研究假設台灣民間信仰信徒的宗教活動空間行為是理性選擇的結果，不但會受到空間距離、旅行成本大小的影響，還會受到宗教設施所在的區位環境屬性和規模的影響。本研究以大甲鎮兩種神祇、三種外在區位環境共七間廟宇的信徒為觀察研究的對象，首先紀錄信徒的個人屬性和進行宗教活動的空間選擇行為，然後利用各廟宇信徒的空間分布型態和信徒個人屬性及宗教活動空間選擇行為，進行同質性卡方檢定工作。本研究結果發現，單一區位廟宇信徒的空間分布範圍較小且出現完全不重疊的現象，多元區位廟宇的信徒空間分布範圍較單一區位廟宇的信徒空間分布範圍來得廣大，特殊區位廟宇信徒的空間分布範圍，更是擴及整個台灣西部地區。又不同區位廟宇的信徒個人屬性和宗教活動空間選擇行為的同質性卡方檢定結果出現顯著差異，顯見距離成本和宗教設施的區位環境差異，確實會影響民間信仰信徒的宗教活動空間選擇。 換句話說，本研究結果顯示，台灣民間信仰信徒的宗教活動在某種程度上是雷同於日常生活的其他活動，決策時都會受到成本效益的影響，由此可進一步推論理性選擇、最大效用、最小成本的決策機制，可能並非僅存在於市場交易活動中。
- 英文摘要:In the last twenty years, research on religious geography in Taiwan has made a significant contribution to the field of religious studies. This body of research has focused mainly on the analyses of religious sphere and sacred space of folk beliefs, with traditional social relations and certain spatial aspects of group images, respectively, as core theories of research. It seemed that these studies have nothing to do with rational behavior of participants of religious activities. Evidence showed that, however, behavior of certain non-economic activities was observed to follow similar behavioral principles or rules guiding that of economic activities. The research question of this study is, therefore, whether or not religious activities, usually regarded as highly sacred, follow the same behavioral rules of activities of everyday life. Positive findings of this research will be beneficial to the field of religious geography. This study hypothesizes that religious activities of folk beliefs in Taiwan are outcomes of adherents’ rational choices, which will be influenced by factors such as travel costs and locational attributes of religious activities. In this study, attributes of individual adherents and their actual spatial choices are observed and recorded. This is done at the seven selected temples of folk beliefs in the town of Ta-Chia. A series of Chi square tests of homogeneity are performed to test the research hypotheses. Results show that service areas of stand-alone temples are relatively smaller, and there is no overlap of these service areas. On the other hand, service areas of temples at locations with other activities are more extensive, and that of one special temple even covers almost the entire western Taiwan. In addition, results of Chi square tests show that attributes of adherents are significantly different in terms of their spatial choices of temples with various locational attributes. It is clear that travel costs and locational attributes of religious facilities have certain influence on adherents’ spatial choice behavior of folk beliefs. It can be concluded that religious activities of folk beliefs are similar to activities of everyday life, in the sense that they share the same decision-making mechanism of utility maximization or cost minimization, and therefore, they both represent the outcomes of rational behavior of participants.
