好茶遷村計畫─一個社會人類學的初步考察

Indigenous people have long depended on the land and space which connect to their living experiences and collective memories. Because their economic activities and material cultures are attached to the natural environment around the village, they will therefore lose economical life and social relationship once they are drawn from their familiar cultural landscapes and living sites, and that may collapse their social orders and stable structures leading to the extinction. This paper will try to take the relocation case of Kuchapogan as an example to discuss the topic of relocation which the anthropology has long concerned. The study shows that the cultural and social structure of kuchapogan has gradually collapsed and disappeared because of its hurried-policy making, inappropriate planning and the depreciation of local opinion since its first relocation, therefore we suggest that the authority must consider the issues as the connection between environment and culture, the foundation of community development and the negative influence of mix-residence during the mass relocation, especially the fact of insufficient ability of local residents must be confronted so as to avoid resulting the serious social problem.
