Abstract
Taiwan is a high potential disaster-happening area. There were lots of disasters striking Taiwan and causing of severe damages. Thus disaster management has become a major topic of the government’s policies. However, disaster management needs a great deal of financial and human resource to support. Therefore, the support from civic participation is getting important. Recently, NPO (Non Profit Organization) has been working brilliantly on many pubic affairs and also playing an important role in Taiwanese society. Especially, they worked hard on the rescue work after the serious disasters, which impressed Taiwanese, the most.
The main theme of this research is the NPOs joining in disaster response in Taiwan. Firstly, we defined the characteristics of NPOs joining in disaster response by the documentary analysis. All of the characteristics were basis for setting up the primary evaluation indicators framework. Secondly, the research data were all colleted by the opinions of scholars, government employees, and the staffs of NPO via Fuzzy Delphi questionnaires. We assessed and summarized each factor of the primary evaluation Indicators framework from different groups. Finally we established the evaluation indicators for the characteristics of NPOs joining in disaster response.
This evaluation indicator includes 3 layers: 7 dimensions, 21 items, and 51 factors. The 7 dimensions are listed as following: A. Mission, B. Function, C. Organization, D. Operation, E. Response, F. Human resource, and G. Fortune resource.
In order to realize whether this evaluation indicator is doable or not, the analysis of this research used the method of non-structure interview on the two NPOs I had chosen. After the experimental evaluation had been finished, this research gave some suggestion for the future operation.
The evaluation indicator is in hope to be the guidance of government to make related policies and to develop NPOs in the future.
