| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立雲林科技大學 === 創意生活設計系 === 102 === In the past, Jhushan witnessed the formation of an industrial settlement centered on the region’s production of bamboo. Such settlement can be compared to those in other regions of Taiwan. Although the core groups of skilled senior craftsmen and professional groups still exist Jhushan, the craft industry in Taiwan is facing continued decline in skilled manpower and industrial transformation. In this study, we find that the main factors in the reduced activity of the bamboo craft industry include human aging and the lack of training to develop skills that are difficult to acquire, and craftsmen who have different and more modern design ideas. In current design education, many design students also do not have first-hand knowledge of the materials required for this craft. This lack of finer understanding of the material and construction methods can lead to difficulties in product development. Another source of difficulty in product development is the required compliance with the status of the favorable conditions of supply and demand. With the use of the “Empowerment Model,” craftsmen and designer professionals can work together to provide excellent products. During the process of teaching and learning, students can increase the quality and diversity of their design works. This will also help develop their skills beyond those of the traditional inherited skills, opening a world of new possibilities. Hence, in accordance with the special nature of this craft industry’s needs and its future potential, it is necessary to employ education and the Empowerment Model in the development and construction of bamboo craft. In this study, which introduces the Collaborative Team Teaching (CTT) research approach, we designed a series of activities to reflect the local culture technology value of bamboo weaving. We used the view of young students who specialize in architecture design and skills, specifically the difficulties they face in cultivating their talents in relation to this traditional craft. The research process is divided into three phases as follows: (1) exploration and study of the field though further interviews of locals and field observation activities, and the reconstruction of the sustainability of bamboo craft skills heritage; (2) planning design and creation of CCT to encourage designers and craftsmen to train students together and to explore the feasibility of CTT as a mediator between the profession of design and technology of the craft; and finally, (3) the use of the “empowerment model construction” through a series of observations, study, reflection, and action to participate in exhibition. Inspiring students' interest in the craft can also make them understand the difficulties as well as the opportunity to attract newcomers to engage in this craft. To construct the course of the Empowerment Model, this research proposes the "Sustainability Strategy of Inheritance of Bamboo crafts," which is divided into three parts as follows:(1)Bamboo diversified application strategy, (2) Strategy for promoting craftsmen, (3) Strategy of Artistic commercialization development. By combining bamboo, engineering and skill, we can promote the sustainability of the bamboo craft cultural heritage. Furthermore, developing CCT can increase understanding of the empowerment action and the relationships among all participants, thus improving the overall value of the development approach via education and training. Finally, we can construct “The Bamboo Craft Empowerment Model” through a series of actions that ensure the development and training program execution.
