　　The purpose of this study is to empirically analyze the influences of job accessibility on aboriginal employment in urban areas. The studied population is the aborigines who migrated to Taipei County within 2008. The sample data was collected via interviews and a questionnaire survey. Various econometric methods, including the binary logit model, ordered logit model and linear regression model, were employed to analyze the job accessibility effects on having a job, job stability, income and commuting time, respectively. The results of this study indicate that car accessibility positively affects aboriginal income; motorcycle accessibility and bus headway positively affect aboriginal commuting time; and raising mode-synthesized accessibility reduces aboriginal commuting time. However, the relationships between job accessibility and having a job and job stability are insignificant for the sample data. Based on the empirical results, the local government can develop land use and transportation strategies to improve job accessibility and employment of urban aboriginal residents.
