The action research of “Hakka Culture Living Environment Development Project” focused Yangmei district of Taoyuan city, where the Taoyan County Community Planners project begins with the “Yongyang community building activities: unused space of Yongning club improvement plan” proposed by a group of community planners working together with community residents. With the strategy of Hakka living environment promotion and given the support of academic theory, political environment, folk society and community force, the field studies of community cultural landscape includes villages, Hakka belief, historical culture and economic space, as well as the cultural activities inclusive of daily life, folk festivals and cultural assets. Through the action research, the observation, reflection and discovery of the problem, and multi-oriented community learning, the community residents are encouraged to participate in the actvities aiming for mutual cultural landscape and cultural activities, to reproduce the brilliant Yongyang community Hakka culture, and build up the Hakka Culture Circle experience area.
The study starts with the cultural gatherings of the living space in the Yongyang community, such as the ancient trail, the Hakka old house, the grand uncle culture and the old tree ecology, linking the “cultural activities” with “cultural landscape” through grand uncle festival and the winter closing activities, to call back the original Hakka life and ecological elements and create a sense of Hakka cultural community. The enhancement of the connection between human and environment is expected to improve the community interpersonal relation and create well-being of life. In the action research, the researchers, the leaders of the community together with the team members are all working partners trying out ideas in actual activities, embracing the concept of “Hakka life community circle” aiming to improve status quo and enhance knowledge. Leading by actions, the researchers and the builders of the community are all fully committed to the ongoing project to achieve their ideals.
The concept of Hakka cultural life circle includes the landscape restoration and the cultural activities. The cultural landscape helps the community residents to know the Hakka life and the changes of the Hakka culture, so they would recognize Hakka, and experience Hakka life, achieving the construction of the Hakka cultural awareness and sustainable development of Hakka ethnic groups. The promotion of the Hakka cultural sightseeing tour experience in combination of the community ecology landscape, the Hakka rural life and the Hakka historical development, should be the opportunity of rebuilding Hakka community.
