碩士 === 南華大學 === 環境與藝術研究所 === 90 === By land and water transportation, Li-jer-jian used to be the business center of Lian-Yang Champaign and His-nan Area. Nowadays, because of economic development and society changing of the area, all the rural traditional settlements in Taiwan as Li-jer-jian are being struggling by unavoidable changes to their way of life- the dwindling populations and unemployment. Originally, the citizens of Li-jer-jian expected the flood-control work along the Tungshan Creek would bring the old days back to their life. In fact, the government policy and new construction have cut the linkage between old and new communities. Li-jer-jian lost its importance as a business center, but with its historic memory it till maintains much of its past grandeur and many of the values that accumulated in the years gone by. As an observer, the author used local, not western, point of view to attend and record the real world of Li-jer-jian community. The goal of living with local people is to get the both researcher and citizen involved, so that they can help to create a report which they feel belongs to them. By chatting and interview, the researcher rebuilt both the historical and real Li-jer-jian community in this study. There are three parts in this research project. The first part discussed the cultural uniqueness of Li-jer-jian community was attracted any attention by the whole Taiwan society, or not? Secondary, by using female point of view, the researcher interpreted the gender difference of this community that also presented the cultural diversity of our era. The last part reviewed two topics: if the living space changed by this study, and the citizens’ attitudes toward the team. After investigation, the researcher believed the future development is more important than reminiscing on the glories of days gone by. All traditional settlements, like Li-jer-jian, in Taiwan need to think how to develop their future but not be attacked by globalize; moreover, they have to find out a kind of method to be seen on the world stage.
