Cultural interaction research is being used to study the effects of bringing Filipino labors into Taiwan. Taiwan''s government has recommended the first one foreign labor who is being used for less desirable jobs. The number of foreign labors is increasing, even surpasses that of the Taiwan originals. And the foreign labors have become a burgeoning group in Taiwan. The new and developing group of immigrants has their own cultural traits such as race and language. Lack of reconciliation of these cultural differences creates a gap with the local community. Immigrant labor has caused some conflicts between members of the local community over the use of public areas. In one research case, The Christopher church area of Chung-Shane north road, data was collected by means of observation and interviews. Results were used to characterize the use of areas surrounding the church, and to understand the local Filipino community. To go a step further, we''d like to confer on the use and the identity of urban space and the relationship between Filipino labors and the local community. The main research matters include three topics.First is to understand how Filipino laborers use the area around Christopher Church.According to the analysis of the Filipinos'' behavior in religious gatherings on Sundays, It shows that there are different situations and meanings when the Filipinos are using the Space near the church. Secondly, we examine some economic activities undertaken by Filipinos in the shopping area near Chung-Shane North Road. Activities such as entertainment, commerce, and social gatherings on Sundays will be discussed.Thirdly, we will try to understand how Filipinos are using public areas, and the cultural effects on the local community. Finally, after discussing the cultural ethnicity of Filipino labors, we will find out the effects of introduction of Filipino immigrants into Taiwan. Our government neglected to consider that the challenges to Taiwanese society posed by Filipino immigrant labor. One voice that has been largely unheard is that of Filipino immigrants. Filipinos can not be blamed for the deterioration of the urban environment. Those who have profited from the government policy have often used the immigrants as a scapegoat for societal problems.
