This study assessed through interviews the effectiveness of education and training for animal husbandry farmers in Kaohsiung County, based on the model formulated by D.L. Kirkpatrick, which includes the effectiveness of four tests on such levels as reaction, learning, behavior, and results. A s to the level of reaction, parking places were what the farmers were more cared about. Regarding curriculum, the farmers approved of what the agencies in charge had done with relation to content, teaching materials, and teachers. At the same time, the farmers more expected that more sessions could be offered, numbers of teaching hours could be increased, more pictures would be added to teaching materials, the instruction could be more practical, and teachers could describe on-site or clinical experience so as to share with the farmers. As to the level of learning, the farmers confirmed that attending education and training could increase their knowledge and technical skills in relation to preventing diseases and make them more confident in managing the farm (their work). So on the level of learning, the value is positive. The farmers looked forward to participating in visits and observation sessions so as to learn others¡¦ strengths and advantages. In addition, public health and husbandry management that have been increasingly emphasized are what the farmers most anxious to learn. As to the level of behavior, the farmers were more conservative in relation to the application of education and training in work. They would rather first try part of it, adjusted step by step, and then observed and augmented application. This was true to both farm management and workflow. However, the farmers emphasized the provision of information and sharing of practices and experience as what they needed most. As to the level of results, the farmers agreed that they could increase their production and revenue by decreasing costs and the death of animals when the animals grow up. They consider education and training helping in this regard. What the farmers really need from government agencies are focused on site work (practices). They expect government agencies to provide information, teachers, and teaching materials in this regard. At present, epidemic and contagious diseases are raging, and they hope to receive advice and assistance so as to avoid any trouble and losses that may be caused by sudden diseases.

The vision for this work first sprung from Farley Mowat’s book, Canada North Now, in which Mowat questions why Canada’s north has never been used for animal husbandry despite having the capacity for such a use. Harvey Payne’s study “A Feasibility Study of Northern Animal Husbandry a Land Use in Northern Manitoba,” written for the Department of Mines, Resource and Environmental Management, confirms northern Canada’s carrying capacity and consult with northern communities about the possibilities of introducing animal husbandry. The feedback provided in community meeting conducted by Payne, coupled with the initial success of reindeer husbandry in Alaska and the past success of reindeer husbandry has seen in Europe, has provided the backbone upon which this thesis is based. This work examines the natural feature and ecologies of the Northwest Territories and studies the history of the aboriginal people who call this region home. Inspired by Norval Morrisseau’s work, a series of paintings are created that explores the traditional meaning and cultural importance of life on the land. By taking a step back and looking at the principles of traditional knowledge, upon which satisfaction and pleasure are based on a close bond to ones family, and a close partnership with the land and other living beings, a proposal is made that offers an alternative lifestyle in Canada’s north. Through the introduction of reindeer husbandry it would be possible to live off the land in a manner that is more in tune with traditional values, while at the same time creating employment opportunities in northern communities. The proposal offers an alternative life style that is nomadic in nature, the design is a simple tent structure based on traditional vernacular architecture of the region, that can be manipulated to suit the users’ needs. A low-key meat industry would reshape the landscape in a positive manner through conscious consideration. The semi-permanent base of the structure would create new landmarks from which the cultural fabric can be hung. Unlike existing settlements that are based on outside ideologies, this design is intended to exist in harmony with traditional values and the existing landscape.
