隨著社會型態的改變，植基於不同社會基礎的社區意識越來越朝向社區成員與團體間相互依賴的關係發展。 Sanders認為個體在社區意識上的結合力量來自「個體與社團」以及「個體與社會」兩種方式，亦即社區意識的形成與強化可透過個體的社團結合與活動，以及對社區的欣賞與適應來達成，而這兩種關係的探討可以包含各式各樣的個體、團體與社區的活動，在此本文擬由社區休閒的角度，針對社區的認真休閒團體，探討其與社區意識形成的關係。經由討論 : 1)來自社區認真休閒團體的責任感與回饋，以及其與公、私部門的關係之內在與外在促成背景，以及 2)與形成社區意識有關的社區認真休閒團體活動內容之促成主題，進而發展出結合促成背景以及促成主題所構成的社區認真休閒團體促成社區意識之形成模式。

As the forms of society change, the senses of community based on various social contexts are developed toward the interdependences between community members and groups. Sanders believed that individuals’ collective strength of the senses of community comes from the relationships between “individual and group” and “individual and society”, which, in other words, the development of the sense of community can be encouraged through the group participations and activities of individuals, as well the individuals’ appreciations and accommodations of the community. The discussions of these two relationships could include activities based on all kinds of individuals, groups, and communities. This article would like to get into this subject from the community leisure point of view, and focuses on the community serious leisure groups to discuss its relationship with the development of the sense of community. Based on the discussions on 1) internal and external “facilitating backgrounds” that come from group’s responsibilities and reciprocations, and links between group and public sector, as well group and private sector; and 2) “facilitating themes” (derived from McKnight’s “community themes”) that are contents of activities of community serious leisure groups assisting the development of the sense of community, this study proposes a model integrating “facilitating backgrounds” and “facilitating themes” to elaborate how community serious leisure groups facilitate the development of the sense of community.
