Description of Our Community: Our hometown, Lugang Township, is situated in Changhwa County in central Taiwan. It covers about 39.4625 square kilometers and has a population of over 80,000. It is one of the three earliest-developed townships in Taiwan, which are Tainan, Lukang and Wanhwa.
The Community where we reside in is called “Nice”. It is the Tounan Village of Lugang Township and a typical agricultural community. Most of its residents came from Fuchien and Guandong provinces in the Cing Dynasty. There were reportedly 114 households and 568 residents at the end of 2003. This little district did not attract as many tourists as those coming to Lugang Township in recent years due to its outskirt location and lack of major communication lines. However, this is why visitors can still see its unspoiled rural simplicity and the hard-working virtue in farmers and feel the strong bond of friendship here.
In 1994 the “Nice” Community was rewarded the national honor for being the national agricultural community model and it has been actively working on building the Community as a whole, which it has done well.
Project Description: The “Nice” Community, a traditional agricultural community of Lugang Township of Changhwa County, has been promoting the overall community construction in recent years. The promotion has born the fruit cultivated by the Community Development Association and the townsfolk, which is implied in its English name “Nice”. And it will be nicer and nicer.
Rebuilding the Community has become the common vision of the residents of the “Nice” community and the issue children should care about.
In this research through collecting documentation on one hand and having interviews and investigations on the other, we learned to understand the Community, the process of building the Community as a whole and its current status and needs. We acted upon the plans we drew, hoping that we could give ourselves a bit to making the dream of creating a modern “Nice” Community come true.
