近年來，台灣人口已邁向高齡化的時代，人口過度集中於台灣西部地區與直轄市，許多鄉鎮區面臨青壯人口出走、出生率低，人口下滑趨勢明顯。
國發會為創造工作與人口均衡發展，積極推動地方創生，希望藉由優化地方產業，鞏固就業機會，建設城鎮偏鄉，發展特色街區，已達到均衡台灣的目標。台灣有許多非營利組織長期關心地方發展，推動各項在地服務工作。
本研究將以紫南宮在南投竹山鎮、台灣好基金會在台東池上鄉為例，檢視非營利組織推動地方創生的成效。
In recent years, Taiwan population has become to an ageing phase, and due to over-population in the western area and those municipalities, suburban now is suffering from issues such as loss of young adult population and low birth rate, which influence the trend of population declining obviously.
For creating more work opportunities and balancing population development, the National Development Council aggressively promotes “regional revitalization” and it hopes by the means of optimizing local industry, solidifying working opportunity, constructing township in remote area and develop cultural and catachrestic block to achieve the goal of “balancing Taiwan”. There are many NGOs in Taiwan which have taken care of local development continually and kept advancing local service work.
It will take “Zi Nan Temple” in Jhushan, Nantou and “Lovely Taiwan Foundation” in Chishang, Taitong as cases to review the efforts of promoting “regional revitalization” by NGOs in the following study.
