Because of the different of historical background, the changes of aboriginal structure of community power are very different between the aborigines and the Hans. It is very difficult to find a pure aboriginal tribe or community, because of the move in of the Hans and the intervention of national administrative system. Let me have some interesting questions: Did the aboriginal structure of community power relate with it¡¦s traditional history or not? Or did it tend toward the same structure of community power by government design? These are the key points that this thesis wants to research. So, I want to make use the convenience of knowing my country to research the changes of aboriginal structure of community power by two different case studies of Pinuymayan-LykaBnug and Rukai-Tarumak. Further, that using the comparative approach to research the reaction of two communities shows the different characteristics of changes. According to my research finding: First, the changes of aboriginal structure of community power were influenced with the extent of tradition. Although the intervention of national administrative system, it still didn¡¦t let the changes to be the same; Second, because of the growth and separation of social organization, the social power was changing from centralization to decentralization. And the source of the power elites was from traditional inheriting to local democratic election; Third, today¡¦s aboriginal communities all live some Hans together, and make much competition and cooperation between aborigines and Hans. The elements of influence are including the proportion of population, the growth and decline of position of politics and economy between aborigines and Hans, and the degree of accepting and blending between aborigines and Hans¡Ketc.

Despite interest from policymakers and the telecommunications sector to deliver superfast broadband to the whole of the UK, rural areas remain underserved, decreasing their ability to benefit from broadband-enabled services. Public intervention, primarily structured as national subsidies, is active across the UK to respond to this rural market failure. Complementing such practices are local-level strategies framed as community-led broadband initiatives. Their inclusion within wider superfast broadband installation strategies has not yet been examined. This doctoral research examines two of these initiatives, their structure and impact on the community to develop an understanding of their potential as replicable rural broadband delivery mechanisms. I analyse both the process of installing superfast broadband technology from community-led perspective and the subsequent engagement with superfast broadband through a qualitative longitudinal approach. A conceptual framework of 'social resilience' is developed as a contemporary analytical tool for examining these individual and community processes. The findings reveal an inherent complexity to rural community-led broadband provision. Community-led broadband reflects a 'localism' development approach, and this process has strengthened local rural identity. Following the adoption of superfast broadband, rural users experienced a growth in digital knowledge and individual resilience. However, the initiatives themselves are often discussed as 'separate from', or incompatible with, the telecommunications industry, as well as sitting outside the scope of current government interventions. In doing so, barriers to external networking and extra-local partnerships are built, limiting the opportunities for community-led broadband networks to become a substantive part of rural broadband delivery across the UK. Throughout the thesis, an understanding of these various tensions, impacting the success, use and replicability of rural community-led broadband, is developed and community-led broadband is shown to be another example of uneven rural development. I conclude by making recommendations for future digital policy interventions in the UK.
