ABSTRACT

This study aims to offer fundamental data on the local youth participation organization by providing a more systematic analysis on the local research, and therefore triggering more active follow-up studies. First of all, this study examined the concept and research scope by considering studies that related to the topic of youth participation organization; it selected a total of 39 subject matters of analysis from 27 locally released theses and academic papers from 1998 to 2018, and 12 research reports that were published from local research centers. As a result, the yearly research trend first appeared in 2003, and from 2004, the academic papers were introduced. In terms of subject of study, 11 out of 39 cases were solely of local youth participation organization, and out of them were mostly of youth steering committee, being six cases. Furthermore during the study, there were 28 cases when combining the participation organizations, and 22 theses aimed at all youth participation organizations. As for the research methodology, quantitative research was the most popular by being 20 cases. The research subject of 19 cases were concerning active youths of youth participation organizations, and 17 research cases were based upon the operation and development plan. Additionally, the theses demonstrated a larger focus of research purpose on the youth and teenagers, whereas, research reports presented a higher proportion of research objective on the operation and development plan. The most common suggestion was the need for improved awareness towards teenagers, and supplementation and reinforcement of the implementation system. Lastly, the next assignment was presented after collecting the discussions of the research findings. This study allows a comprehensive analysis not only through local academic journals, but including theses and research reports, and has significance by suggesting the direction of research based upon this concept.
