本文討論社區充權(community empowerment)的理念與策略在台灣地區的實踐歷程。為能累積本土經驗，研究者是以行動研究法，與社區人士協同參與在規劃、執行與評估的循環流程，解析木新社區透過「永安公有市場基地」的在地規劃行動，如何有效達致社區充權標的。行動策略包括社區終身學習、社區規劃與行動、以及社區組織工作等；充權內涵是以意識喚醒、知識增進和採取行動。研究者所參與的行動歷程是發起於文山社區大學學員在學習歷程中所激發的公共事務責任感，促進在地人士透過與社區大學的合作規劃，以及「文山新願景促進會」的協助促進，而能運用靈活的社區行動方案，達致社區的成長學習，同時成功爭取永安基地附加規劃為社區生活中心及社區兒童實驗劇場。進而，在學習與行動的同時，自主組織「木新社區發展協會」。木新永安的實驗歷程，可以說是台灣地區運作社區自主力量，匯集多股推進力而成說的充權實例。
