Abstract
This paper aims to investigate 1) how married women construct their neighborhood relationships, 2) the role of community center in the construction of neighbor relations in mid-to-high-rise condominium, and 3) the effectiveness of the “Planning Standards in the Public-housing-apartments” from the viewpoint of the construction of neighborhood relationships. We examine the neighborhood relationships of married women in different life stages in a mid-to-high-rise condominium in Taipei city by the data from questionnaire. We clarified that: 1) Community center is useful to construct new neighborhood relationships by offering the place for indoor sports. However, it is necessary to enhance the diversity of activities in community center. 2) Religion and concerned facilities play important in the construction of neighborhood relationships of senior married women. Religious facilities, however; are ignored in planning in residential area. 3) Traditional retail markets are not only the purchase facilities but also the place for married women to know new neighbors. 4) The leisure activities, especially the sports, are important for the married women without young child to know more neighbors. However, the concerned facilities such parks might not function very well if they are too small.
