在經濟起飛時，許多離開原鄉來到中壢的客家人，他們都帶著濃濃客家原鄉的味來到中壢市，塑造出創新、包容和傳統熱誠客家人本質的中壢市，也在中壢的歷史發展史中留下許多客家的傳統文化。然而這些客家傳統的景緻或美食，隨著中壢的「都市化」「現代化」逐漸被流失或遺忘，希望透過本研究把這些流失的客家先人智慧和文化，一一找回來，最重要是透過全市社區民眾和關心客家人的社區民眾參與，讓中壢市民眾都了解到客家文化的美和客家文化傳承的重要性，並且能提供行政機關在日後相關政策擬定與規劃時的參考，藉以減緩都市客家隱形化的情形日益嚴重，對於身為客家子弟的一份子，希冀能在客家文化的保存盡棉薄之力。研究結果發現中壢目前有三種情況正在發生中：其一：客語的使用比例為最低、其二：年齡與客語使用的比例成正比，年齡越長，使用客語的比例則越高、其三：居住地區與客語的使用的界線越來越模糊，影響不大，等三種具體結果。語言的使用是族群外顯的表徵，語言的消失等同就是一個族群的消失，應摒除自己內心那份隱形化的焦慮與無奈，勇敢的走出屬於自己的路。When the economy was booming, many Hakka people left their back home came to Chungli City, they all had a thick, hometown flavor of the Hakka, and also had innovation, toleration and traditional enthusiastic Hakka essence. Although a variety of Hakka traditional cultures in the historical development of Chungli City were passed on, those traditional Hakka scenery or food was gradually washed away and forgetton by "urbanization and modernize" of Chungli City. I hope that the Hakka ancestors' wisdom and culture will be found back through this study. The most important issue is to let people be aware of the importance of the Hakka culture and its heritage by getting the whole Chungli City civilians and those who care for the Hakka people involed in. By doing so, it may provide the authorities with the reference of policy formulation in future and relieve the worsening situation of invisibility of urban Hakka. Being a member of the Hakka descendants, I hope I can do my best to preserve the Hakka culture.According to the findings on this issue of Chungli City, there are three cases happening. First of all, the Hakka use has a lowest ratio. Secondly, it is directly proportional to the age. The older, the more. Thirdly, The boundaries between district and the Hakka use has become increasingly blurred and the district is less influential in the Hakka use.The use of language is an indication of ethnic group. The disappearance of language is equivalent to the disappearance of an ethnic group. We should put aside our invisible anxiety and helpless, and be brave moving on in our own way.
