本研究運用行動者網絡理論（Actor-Network Theory，ANT）的觀點，探討社區引介公眾參與地理資訊系統（Public Participation GIS，PPGIS）後，所促成的行動者網絡組構與發展議題轉向，並嘗試建構以ANT為基礎的PPGIS檢視方法。本研究運用1992至2007年美濃社區發展的相關文獻及2007至2008年間黃蝶翠谷PPGIS工作坊中的群眾討論為文本，嘗試結合權益關係人（stake holder）與行動者（actor）的概念，試圖自控制、技能、資金與資訊等四個向度，作為轉譯分析的基礎，同時以資源－權責行動者與接受方等概念，區分不同行動者的屬性與互動關係，配合治理尺度的概念來建構PPGIS應用於社區發展議題中的行動者網絡圖像，及其所促成的發展議題轉向。本研究發現：運用ANT的分析架構可有效分析PPGIS於社區運作中的網絡化特徵，尤能掌握在社區發展議題上，各項異質要素藉由PPGIS共同建構的協商過程。此架構更可有效跨越自然、技術與社會的界線，並具體描述PPGIS運用過程中利益轉譯及嵌入的特徵，故而能成為分析PPGIS程序效益的有效取徑。

This study employed the Actor-Network Theory (ANT) to assess a Public Participation GIS (PPGIS) case in Meinung community Kaohsiung (Yellow Butterfly Valley) in Taiwan. An analytical framework of PPGIS by ANT was built. In order to assess the PPGIS project, the actors and networks of the Meinung community before the introduction of the PPGIS project were also analyzed by referring to previous literature. This study combined concepts from stakeholders and actors, and considered governance scale to delineate the role of actors' agency in community development. Martin's (2000) "Network Diagram" which included control, technology, money and information was adopted to trace the actor-network interactions. Further, this study used "input resources", "accountable actors", and "recipients" to distinguish the relationships among different actors in different time periods. Using this framework and hypothesis, this study was able to analyze the change and the effects after using PPGIS in the community development issues.
