The Coastal Lowland of the Tsengwen River as a Coupled Human-Natural System: Exploring the Traditional Ecological Wisdom / 以人與自然耦合系統框架檢視曾文溪下游平原之傳統生態智慧

碩士 / 國立臺北大學 / 都市計劃研究所 / 107 / Today, when extreme weather frequently causes large-scale disasters, the speed of human engineering technology progress cannot be fully overcome to prevent it. In the past, engineering technology has not yet developed to dominate all surface runoff. Society can only adapt as much as possible. Up to now, flood control projects have been widely applied to significantly reduce the frequency of flooding. However, the past flooding adjustment strategies have been neglected. But the current situation should be discussed. The adaptation strategy for disasters needs to be based on the wisdom accumulated by humans in the past and learn from past experiences.Historically, there have been many floods in the lower reaches of Tsengwen River, and many times have been diverted. In the context of relatively insufficient economic and social conditions in the past, in order to survive and develop in a drastic environment, residents have accumulated time to develop a unique local life culture. It contains various traditional ecological wisdom coexisting with the natural environment of the lowland of the Tsengwen river, such as “Avoiding Floods, Find New Places To Live Together”, the local residents face the flood of Tsengwen River, migrate and settle down, and the residents work together to make house made of bamboo. The construction technology, the way of moving houses, and the attitudes and values of local residents facing the changes in the natural environment are traditional ecological wisdom worth exploring. First, this study uses the "Coupled Human-Natural Systems" as a framework for thinking to examine the interaction between people and Tsengwen River. This article explores how local residents interact with Tsengwen River, with particular emphasis on the feedback between humans and natural systems to consolidation the dynamics and complexity of interaction between people and river. In addition, through depth interviews and participatory observations to supplement historical text analysis, this study systematically summarizes the local traditional ecological wisdom in the coastal lowland of Tsengwen River, which is divided into " Environment Design", " Industrial Context", "Traditional Food Culture" and "Natural Legends". From the local architecture, agriculture and fisheries, common diet and sacrifices to the gods and other ceremonies, summed up the traditional ecological wisdom of the local residents. This study hopes to try to live in peace with the natural environment by learning from the traditional ecological wisdom of the past, as a policy reference for subsequent environmental governance.
