高雄煉油廠宿舍區為台灣最為完整的“產業共同體”，擁有完善的生活機能，廠方提供員工從生至死的福利設施、完整的教育體系及休閒活動的硬體設施，使員工的生活需求得以在廠區的提供下得到滿足。居民的社區意識，在國家體系的經營下，有其特殊性與研究的價值。而在時代及政策的改變後，煉油廠宿舍如何面對即將變更的環境，找尋自我的延續及彼此之間的聚合力，形成集體的力量達成生活使用權的訴求，為本研究之目的。
本研究之研究對象為中油社區中的宏南、後勁兩個社區，對兩社區進行基地觀察紀錄與問卷調查，了解居民意識的偏向，比對社區空間特性，歸納影響社區意識之空間條件。分析比較後發現，居民意識普遍較一般社區高，而兩社區之間並沒有顯著差異。因為空間環境及人口屬性的差別，兩社區在社區意識所分類的四個面向上，只有社區認同上有顯著的差異。調查並發現，居民著重在社區內從事休閒活動，兩社區因設備環境的差異，宏南社區居民心目中的社區中心並沒有特定地點，而後勁社區則以提供生活支援的菜市場為社區中心。居民屬性偏向教育程度高、收入高及中高年居民。對於社區事務的關懷程度比實際參與的情形高；社區內的非正式溝通管道發達。
中油社區的價值，在於居民因為產業及國營企業的支持，在這個被保留的空間下，所形塑的共同體模式；在於日式建築的生活空間中，依然存在的生活方式。所以，紀錄與強化居民意識的目的，是希望能夠幫助這樣一個特殊空間，得到永續經營。成為台灣社區中能充分展現社區力量以促進社區及鄰里共同發展，滿足人性中有愛與相隸屬需求(Maslow,1954)的優良社區。

The dormitory area of Kaohsiung oil refinery(KOR) is for the most intact "industrial communities" of Taiwan. In this community, it provides many perfect living functions which are some fringe benefit facilities from birth to death, educational series from kindergarten to senior high school and hardware facilities for leisure activities. It makes the employee's life demand be satisfied under the offering of the factory authority and forms the very specific living pattern in it.
The framework of community consciousness, through a shaping process of community and under the management of the national system to create community integration relationship with developing process of the community, has been the rise and fall of ups and downs. The impact of such a special community framework on the sense of community residents has its particularity and research value.
In addition, under the changes of era and government policy, how the dormitory of KOR deal with changing environment to look for continuity of self-renewal and mutual cohesiveness encourages the formation of a collective effort to achieve the right to use the demands of life.
The study subjects are divided into two communities.
In order to understand the tendency of residents of consciousness and than to the spatial characteristics of the community, this study proceeds dormitory base observation records as well as questionnaire surveys to summarize the influence of community awareness of space conditions.
Analysis revealed, the residents of consciousness were generally higher than those of general community, but there were no significant differences between two communities.
Because of the difference of space environment and population attributes, the two communities in the sense of community which were classified by the four-oriented items have only community recognition with significant differences.
Survey also revealed, residents focused on engaging in leisure activities in the community. There were some differences on the environment and facilities of two communities ,therefore, there was no specific location regarded as the community center in the eyes of the residents of Hong-Nan community, however, residents of Hou-jin community recognized the markets where provide life support as the community Center. Residents in the communities tended to attribute high levels of education, high levels of salary as well as high levels of age. The care degree to community's affairs is higher than the situation of participating in actually. There were many prevalent unofficial communicative channels as well.
The value of KOR community relies in the support of state-owned enterprises. Residents in the retained space shape the model of community. It also relies in the living space of Japanese-style building which still exist in ways of life.
Therefore, the purpose to note down and strengthen the consciousness of residents is to help such a special space get sustainable operations to become it in the community of Taiwan which shows the strength of community and promotes the common development of community and neighborhood to meet the needs of humanity in love and belonging.(Maslow 1954)
