Study Notes
Community Empowering in Taiwan
- Background: In 1994, the Council of Cultural Affairs in Taiwan proposed the Policy of Community Empowerment, giving funding to grassroots communities to tackle public issues.
- Policy Stages:
- Embryonic Stage (1970-1993): This stage was shaped by Taiwan's transition from Japanese rule, the 228 incident (1947 massacre), and the KMT's imposed Marshall Law.
- Initiative Stage (1994-2000): This was a period of social movements, challenging the "development dictatorship" of the state and promoting "value in use" rather than "exchange value" of land. Community empowerment emerged as a policy during this period.
- Institution Stage (2000-2008): This stage saw the establishment of a Commission of Community Empowerment, with each Ministry involved in creating policy projects promoting community empowerment.
Community Empowerment in Taipei
- Taipei City has implemented innovation projects that directly incorporate community empowerment and design, influencing the national policy.
- Community Planner Project: The program trains "young community planners" providing skills and knowledge.
Successful Community Empowerment Case Studies
- Dali Sugar Mill Community: This community began with resident protests against the construction of a nursing home. Through community participation, it transformed into a "Sugar Culture Tourist District", consisting of the Sugar Cane Park, Sugar Museum, and a performance space for "Minghua Yuan," a traditional Taiwanese opera troupe.
- Taomi Ecological Village: This village, located in Nantou County, was devastated by the 921 earthquake. With community empowerment efforts, the village was reconstructed. The village residents were trained in ecological construction and restoration, leading to the village's biodiversity being recognized and its local economy being revitalized through eco-tourism, especially during firefly season.
