Research subjects are residents from three types of communities, including Taiwanese Southern Min, Hakka, and aborigine. Research samples had been selected via systematic sampling for questionnaire survey. A total of 420 questionnaires had been distributed and 400 of them had been retrieved with 340 being effective. The results of this research are listed below: 1. Generally speaking, the condition of residents’ “community consciousnesses” is positive, with low “leisure participation” and high “community cohesion”. 2. Residents’ “community consciousnesses” differs significantly with their “age”, “occupation”, “marital status”, “education”, “religion”, “time of residence”, and “individual monthly salary”. 3. Residents’ “leisure participation” differs significantly with their “gender”, “age”, “occupation”, “marital status”, “education”, “religion”, “time of residence”, and “individual monthly salary”. 4. Residents’ “community cohesion” differs significantly with their “gender”, “age”, “occupation”, “marital status”, “education”, “religion”, “time of residence”, and “individual monthly salary”. 5. Both “community consciousness” and “leisure participation” have positive influences on “community cohesion”, which means, the higher “community consciousness” is, the higher “leisure participation” is, and the higher “community cohesion” gets. But according to the model, the influence of “leisure participation” on “community cohesion” is not significant, in other words, the frequency and time for participating in leisure activities have no influence on the degree of community cohesion. Suggestions made according to the results of this study are listed below: It is hoped that communities can encourage residents participating leisure activities voluntarily, and design leisure activities according to demands from different types of communities to further improve the level of “community consciousness”, strengthening “community cohesion”, enhancing the interactions between neighborhoods. It is expected that, in the future, with residents’ participation in leisure activities, “community cohesion” will be strengthened.
