集體記憶是一種社會性建構的概念，在以集體記憶做為地方性歷史脈絡研究的切入面向時，對於地方而言，最能迅速掌握其變遷脈絡，便是從地景來觀看。 放眼所及的「草莓」地景，並非是一種原始的自然景觀，而是由地方行動者所塑造出來的，故而本研究以此作為一個分界點，來注視地方在草莓出現前後的整個變遷過程。在地景的背後，我們發現在地的人文條件與在地的自然資源如何對地方經濟產生重要影響，而特定時空大環境的影響也不容忽視，解讀地景必定得回溯至當時的脈絡裡頭來詮釋。 草莓並非是傳統所認知的「客家文化」，然而草莓產業卻是大湖當地的客家族群花費近一甲子的時間所經營、用心打造出專屬於該地的「草莓文化」，也成為客家文化的另一種象徵意義。透過在地的客家族群之生活實踐，草莓確實地鑲嵌至在地生活當中，經過時間的沉澱和醞釀，逐漸形成「大湖客」的集體記憶，以及成為新興的客家族群產業。 Collective memory is a concept of social formation, if we use the concept of collective memory as an entry point, for a place, the best way to tell the history and trend is taking a look at the landscape. The“strawberry” landscapes are not aboriginally natural views, what are shaped by local actors, this research makes it use for dividing point, to focus on changing process of this place (Da-hu). Behind shaping the landscape, we can find the importance of local environment and cultural conditions, and we can’t ignore social environment, to understand landscape must trace back into the social context. Strawberries aren’t the traditional “Hakka culture”, but strawberry industry was created by Hakka people in Da-hu, and they formed unique “strawberry culture”, strawberries also became another symbolic meaning of Hakka culture.Strawberries already embedded in local Hakka people’s life through they put it into practice, as time goes by, it gradually formed Da-hu Hakka’s collective memory, and became a new kind of Hakka industries.
