碩士 / 國立臺灣師範大學 / 地理學系 / 95 / In the process of Taiwan industry development, the investment in agricultural production has been seen less important. This situation has become even aggravated since Taiwan became a member of the World Trade Organization in 2001 and the government lowered the tariff on imported agricultural products. With the decline of agricultural development, the economic development in rural areas becomes weak. As a result, the re-development in the rural becomes an issue for both the government and the public. To re-develop the rural is not to retrieve the traditional agricultural production, but to exploit the rural resources to spur diverse economic activities.
Yuchi, a county in central Taiwan is a twon whose main economy is agriculture. Its development has been transformed into tourism production recently. With the re-development of tea industry in Yuchi after 921 Earchquake in 1999, the black tea industry has revived Yuchi and became its main production with cultural specialty. Every year the local authorities hold the black tea festival to promote their products in order to have more tourists.
The black tea industry had developed since the Japanese Colonial Period and then was declining. It is retrieved on account of the community planning in Dayan village. With the perspective of the rural restructure, this dissertation explores the relationships between the re-commoditization of the black tea and the local economic development. The revived black tea industry has four foci： quality, variety, brand and narratives. In few years, Yhchi’s black tea industry has been well-known and with excellent profits, but it has encountered some conflicts and problems in the industrial development and the community planning at the same time. Therefore, the Actor-network theory was used to analyze these two collective actions. The findings are that local convention and social capital are the two key factors, which have influence in the stability of these two networks. For example, Seshui and Shanzhajiao villages in Dayan have dissimilar processes of the community planning. It is because their varied conventions and social capital are different.
