| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立臺北藝術大學 === 建築與文化資產研究所 === 107 === Under the influence of the rapid change of society structure and the development of economy, many historical towns and aboriginal tribes in Taiwan have been seriously damaged in order to develop tourism and build modern facilities. Precious relics and villages are also gradually replaced by modern buildings, and the aboriginal tribes in the mountains are no exceptions. From the influences and changes caused from the Japanese-governing time, to after war, the assimilation and tourism policies of the government, are all reasons for the loss of aboriginal cultural properties. Until recently, the sense of preserving cultural heritages has gained attention, aborigines living in the mountains began to adopt the method of Integrated Community Development as the foundation to preserve cultural heritages of the tribes. This article has taken Three tribe under the west Ruai as a discussion object.
The Dona Tribe of Ruai is located in the deepest corner of the Maolin area in Kaoshiung, therefore is influenced by the outside world slower, and is one of the few aboriginal tribes that has not been forced to move due to political reasons, also it’s the biggest tribe of Three tribe under the west Ruai. However, as the Maolin scenery area opened, the main financial source of the villagers has changed from agriculture to tourism, and they gradually lose the ability of self-supplying. In addition, the employment difficulties among the aboriginal region has caused youth population to move out, and the once self-supplied tribe is now vanishing. The traditional tribe culture is also vanishing rapidly due to due to economic-development policies. Under this condition, the Dona tribe responds with Integrated Community Development methods, advertising the idea of culture preservation, and founding the Dona Community Development Association and Dona Youth Fellowship to invest in the work of culture preserving, plan performances of traditional ceremonies, and combine the policies of culture reviving and culture tourism to hold cultural industry training courses and promote stone slab house constructions. Elders of the tribe teach the methods of building stone slab houses and repair the few stone slab houses remain in the tribe. Through building the domestic scenery, they look forward to recall the history memory of the tribe in order to attract tourists, and hoping one day, to recreate the elegance of Dona, Ruai.
