關於如何落實社區永續發展的課題，已有許多的討論和研究。然而，多數的論點不是包山包海地對生態、經濟、文化、社會等各類價值做全面性的道德呼籲，便是獨鍾某個價值重點恣意發揮，似乎尚未能闡明邁向永續社區所必須具備的核心實踐動力和作用力。本研究透過相關文獻與經驗研究的綜合分析整理，試圖從符應多元價值平衡發展之永續內涵的綜效理論觀點，重新檢省「永續社區」之概念涵義，以及地方文化產業在追求社區永續的過程中所具有的綜效潛力與重要角色。進而闡明地方文化產業在社區永續發展過程中，所可積極施展之核心作用力。

The topic, how to carry out the sustainable development of community, has been concerned in many discussions and researches. Although most of them either generalize a fully moral propaganda from various value items including ecology, economy, culture, society, etc. or adore bringing some valuable emphasis into full play unscrupulously, it seems that they could not clarify the pivotal motive force and driving force equipped to put into practice on the issue of sustainable community. The study tries conducting the references and experienced researches to conform the frame of multivalued balancing growth to synergy theory of sustainability, to rethink the conceptual meaning of "sustainable community", and to pursue the synergistic possibilities and the key role for local cultural industry in the process of sustainable community. Then by doing so, its actively central driving forces of local cultural industry in the process of sustainable development of community should be defined.
