The study of traditional territory demarcation of the Amis people in the East Coast with the application of Public Participation Geographic Information System (PPGIS) / 公眾參與式地理資訊系統於海岸阿美族傳統領域劃設之研究

碩士 / 國立東華大學 / 臺灣文化學系 / 107 / Since Council of Indigenous Peoples promulgated “Regulations on Demarcation of Territories for Indigenous Peoples or Tribes” on Feb 18, 2017, the existing studies of traditional lands/territories of indigenous peoples in Taiwan have been brought up and reexamined. Many new issues stemming from these studies of the territories of indigenous peoples have emerged. Although the Regulations has gone into effect for one and half year, the scope of controversies continues to widen. This study was concerned with demarcation of traditional territories of the Amis people. The Amis people has the largest population among the indigenous peoples in Taiwan. Because most of the tribes are located at plain areas and living in a community with mixed peoples, demarcation of their traditional territories is difficult. In particular, the often-heard occupation of the coastal Amis people’s traditional territories by business groups for land development has caused much controversy. Therefore, this study attempted to investigate the demarcation of traditional territories of the Amis people in the East Coast. In addition to using in-depth interviews to collect opinions from the tribe’s perspective, this study applied Public Participation Geographic Information System (PPGIS),which allowed voluntary participation of tribal youths, to draw a map of the traditional territories of the tribe. By utilizing ESRI’s website and map service platform, Story Maps, this study finally developed a traditional territories map characterized by decolonization of place names, land justice, and preservation of knowledge and culture of this land. This is a “map of humanities within the traditional territories of a tribe” truly generated from the perspective of the Amis people. In addition to developing a platform for clarifying the traditional territories of the coastal Amis people, this study also attempted to use the tribe’s experience and outcome of voluntary participation in PPGIS as a foundation to suggest that PPGIS may be a solution to future survey and demarcation of traditional territories of the coastal Amis people as it considers local opinions and meets legal requirements at the same time.
