[ 摘要 ]
台灣山坡地之永續性農業發展時間尚短，長期使用慣行農業技術而導致環境生態之問題，惟有推廣農民採用永續農業之自然農法技術經營行為方能有效解決，因此坡地農民對自然農法技術屬性之認知，至為重要。認知學習是落實推廣採用之首要步驟，本研究擬從坡地原住民農戶之背景因素，傳播因素及家庭因素等三大層面深入分析探討，以期發現該等影響因素對山坡地環境認知，自然農法技術認知之影響程度，並探究各影響因素之間的相關性，以及了解坡地農戶未來對自然農法技術的採行意願。
本研究是針對屏東縣三個原住民鄉的山坡地農戶對自然農法技術之認知調查，藉以探求認知之影響因素，訊息傳播之來源，以及屬性間之關連性，經個案調查、統計分析，綜合驗證之結果如下：
經研究分析結果顯示：抽樣農戶對山坡地環境認知達非常同意和同意階段。農戶對自然農法技術之認知程度不高，均在同意階段以下，有近七成的農戶參加民間或農會輔導之農民組織，農戶最常接觸的農業傳播媒介是單張或手冊等技術推廣書刊，最常參加的團體集會是班會和講習會。影響抽樣農戶山坡地環境認知之因素當中，背景因素中農戶之經營人數為主要的影響因子，而影響抽樣農戶對自然農法技術認知之因素，最主要影響來自教育程度，次為家庭因素中之農業收入依賴度，及農戶生活滿足程度，再次為山坡地環境認知。傳播因素則無影響。探究影響農戶未來對自然農法技術之採行意願因素，經本研究分析結果，農年齡愈大之農戶，愈有可能在將來採行自然農法技術，年齡較輕之留農者，汲汲於經濟生產，較不願放棄長久依賴之慣行農法。
總結而言，探究未來農戶採行自然農法技術之意願，應朝年輕化、組織化之方向研討改進，另一方面透過教育訓練或講習等方式之參與提升興趣，再經由耕作技術之實際操演，將有助於政府及民間團體對推展自然農法技術於我國山坡地農業

Taiwan has a relatively short history in the development of sustainable agriculture at slope land. The practices of sustainable agriculture are effective method to revamping the ecological problems that were caused by conventional farming systems. As cognition is a critical step in the adoption of an innovation, finding out factors that affect farmers’ cognition of sustainable agriculture will be useful in the promotion and education of the topic. This study approaches the issue from aborigine farmers’ background, information communication factors and economic factors to investigate how these factors affect their consciousness of environmental problems, their cognition of sustainable agriculture and how these factors are mutually related.
In order to inquiring the influence factors of the cognition of nature farming, 116 farmers are interviewed at random.
The research results indicate －all the sample farmers agree with the cognition of the environment in slope land, and the amount of working member of farms is the most important factors. However, samples disagree with the technical of nature farming, and the education level is the main influence source. Among samples, 70 % of the sample farmers attend the farmers’ organizations. The mostly contacted media is problems of agriculture extension source. The group meetings and training courses are the most popular group activities. The elder farmers are more likely to adopt the nature farming in the future, but the younger farmers are more likely reluctant to give up conventing farming techniques.
In short, to increase the willingness of the younger farmers’ adoption of nature farming, the educational training courses and lectures are good methodologies for the youth. By means of enhancing their interest, and having real practice, it’s helpful for the government and folk group to extend the technical of the nature farming in the slope land in our country.
