Abstract:

The idea of Cultural Innovative Society is the social life commonly expected by various thinkers with political ideals in the history. The social civilization has experienced distinct social development stages and types of society after more than two millennia. Is the ideal harmonious society is apparent, or is it still an unknown state never being seen? Such questions have been buried in the mind of people with ideal and passion for the society. Based on the basis of sustainable social-theory and state philosophy, this study tends to discuss the construction path of Cultural Innovative Society. The employees and volunteers in Social Affairs Bureau of Kaohsiung City Government, the neighborhood magistrates in Kaohsiung City, and the instructors of Department of Sociology in public and private universities in southern Taiwan are randomly sampled as the research subjects. Total 270 copies of questionnaires are distributed, and 208 valid ones are retrieved, with the retrieval rate 77%. According to the empirical analyses, the following conclusions are proposed in this study. Content Innovation, weighted 0.347, is mostly emphasized, about 34.7% of overall weight, in the evaluation dimensions, followed by Cultural Development (weighted 0.276), Mechanism Innovation (weighted 0.219), and Theoretical Innovation (weighted 0.158). By organizing the overall weight of the evaluation indicators in the critical success factors in Cultural Innovative Society construction from the questionnaire, the top five emphasized indicators, within 13 evaluation indicators, contain Trend of the Times, National Spirit, Cultural Integration, Management Mechanism, and Cultural Restructuring. It is expected that this study could continue and increase the explanation and analysis coverage of theories for broader application. On the other hand, it is also expected, through analyses, to provide positive inspiration for the construction and development of Cultural Innovative Society and key state policies.
