摘要

提供足够的住房一直是香港面临的挑战。香港政府运用平衡发展原则,利用新市镇发展来达成发展目标。然而,香港的新城镇长期以来一直被批评为“宿舍城镇”,因为它们无法实现自给自足,部分原因是公共设施分布不均。使用公共设施,如图书馆、市政大厅和表演艺术场所,不仅对创造社区意识和身份至关重要,而且对可持续和宜居社区的发展至关重要,同时也有助于解决不平等问题。从上世纪60年代开始,香港的新市镇经历了三代人的发展。本文关注的是东涌,这个最新的新市镇,由于缺乏社区特色和公共设施不足而引起公众关注,而这些都因新市镇的不良城市形态而加剧。为了了解文化设施与生活品质之间的关系,本文评估和比较了香港新市镇内公共设施的总数、容量和整体使用情况,以及每代市镇内的变化。之后,我们将焦点放在东涌,透过空间分析和访谈,探讨新市镇的城市形态及其有限的公共设施所带来的影响。我们的研究结果显示,较新的新市镇,特别是东涌,在城市形态和公共设施方面都处于不利地位。此外,公共住房的低收入家庭尤其被剥夺了公民权。这影响了居民的日常生活,剥夺了他们获得社会服务的机会,影响了社区生活,从而加剧了不平等。未来的扩建区也是基于同样的原则设计的,因此很可能会出现类似的问题。

Evaluating the quality of life in Hong Kong's new towns in relation to accessibility and the distribution of community and cultural facilities: A case study of Tung Chung

Providing adequate homes has been an ongoing challenge for Hong Kong. The Hong Kong government has utilized new town developments to meet its development goals, employing a balanced development principle. However, Hong Kong's new towns have long been criticized as ‘dormitory towns,’ as they cannot achieve self-sufficiency, partly due to the uneven distribution of public amenities. Access to public amenities, such as libraries, municipal halls, and performing arts venues is not only crucial for creating a sense of community and identity but also for the development of sustainable and livable communities while also helping to address inequality. Hong Kong's new towns have been developed through three generations, starting in the 1960s. Of interest for this paper is Tung Chung, the latest new town that has attracted public attention due to its lack of community identity and inadequate access to public facilities, all of which are exacerbated by the new town's poor urban form. To understand the relationship between access to cultural facilities and quality of life, this paper assesses and compares the total number, capacity, and overall access to public facilities within Hong Kong's new towns and the variation within each generation. After that, we focus on Tung Chung to explore, through spatial analysis and interviews, the impact of the new town's urban form and its limited offer of public facilities. Our findings suggest that the more recent new towns, particularly Tung Chung, are disadvantaged in both qualities of the urban form and access to public facilities. Moreover, lower-income households in public housing are particularly disenfranchised. This affects the residents' daily life, depriving them of access to social services and affecting community life, thus exacerbating inequality. Future expansion areas are designed based on the same principles and will thus likely result in similar issues.
