| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立臺灣大學 === 建築與城鄉研究所 === 103 === The complementary strategy of the Council of Indigenous Peoples was the promotion of “Representation of Indigenous Architectural Vocabulary in Relocated Village after Typhoon Morakot” project, which encourages households to take part in designing their own house. Using ’Tribe’s Things for Tribesman’ as the slogan, the project sought to form tribe solidity through active participation of tribesmen. It is a remedial measures against the permanent housing without indigenous features has harmful effects on indigenous architectural heritage. Tjacuqu in Taitung participated in the project after they have moved in to the permanent housing: 3 masters in the tribe designed the houses, while other people made their contributions by storytelling and providing labor. When the construction came to an end, however, it did not only fail the expectation of the residents, but also caused division and conflicts in the tribe.
Through fieldwork and interviews, the study looks into the tension between government project and tribe participation, resonating the failure of a participation orientated project to involve participants. First, the study shows the residents discontent about the inflexible interior of permanent housing, and their strategic adaptation by building their own exterior space to put things back into places and live their daily lives just as old times. Everything the residents did to cope with the permanent housing was ironically what the Council of Indigenous Peoples advocated of the participation project.
Secondly, stressing storytelling and mutual cooperation, the project was successful in terms of encouraging community participation. However, embedded in and developed from daily lives, the indigenous knowledge could not find its place in the administrative apparatus. As a result, the value of tribes participation gradually disappeared during the project, leaving the ideal in void. To be the aim and method of tribes participation, indigenous knowledge is still faced with the constant challenge from mainstream values and the ideal of modern state.
