An Action Research Study on Community Participation of Environmental Improvement-Three Communities in Taoyuan along NanKan River / 社區參與環境改善之行動研究- 以桃園縣南崁溪沿岸三個社區為例

碩士 / 輔仁大學 / 景觀設計學系碩士班 / 101 / A community is an activity place for residents in their daily life. A good community environment not only can bring residents together, but also strengthen a sense of belonging. An ideal community development policy should emphasizes on“from bottom to top“ and “environmental sustainability “, so residents can give opinions and care about their community. A public work including planning, design, construction, maintenance and management is often related to some limits, such as super-ordinate policies, laws, and annual budgets. Disputes are often caused by lacking of community participation, and that makes the policy less of environmental benefits.
Taoyuan County government has chosen NanKan River, which flows through three counties with large population to reconstruct the riverside spaces, so the land along the river have been retrieved and requisitioned to build a bikeway and pathway system. This project calls on global trend to value the riverside space. After the construction, the bikeway system becomes a popular leisure place in Taoyuan County. However, people living riverfront complained that there were many deficiencies caused by construction details and poor maintenance.
This research is based on action research theory, choosing three communities to improve their riverfront space. Finding the public had no confidence in the government because of the original riverside construction lacking of the community opinions. The research team set a “partnership” with the community to execute the public participation. The purpose is using the spiral procedures of “planning, acting, observing and reviewing” to build a meaningful riverside space for the community by listening to the public’s voices during six months working period.
The result of this action research is adjusting or increasing some functional and meaningful landscape and resting facilities on the base of original landscape construction. The contribution of the project is the communication and interaction among the community residents in the process. Two of the communities grow community consciousness, and the other one has developed a stronger organization. Through this project, the government realizes the necessity of community participation for construction benefit, and visitors from other cities can feel the identities of these three communities because of the different riverside landscapes.
