| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立臺北科技大學 === 建築與都市設計研究所 === 100 === Over the years, Maokong region has been designated as a protection area for its rich landscape and ecosystem. The comfortable climate with a fruitful and clean soil and water resource makes Maokong a suitable environment for tea cultivation. People have been planting tea in Maokong area as early as the first year of ROC, and Maokong has become a well known tea agricultural area for Tieguanyin and Pouchong ever since. The tea cultivation has covered from Maokong to Zhanghu, Dailaokeng and Shipokeng area. Nowadays a tea cultural tourism has been developed in Maokong because of the area’s history and culture. The tourism is moving towards a leisurely agricultural development route. In recent years, Maokong has become an even more popular place for mountain hiking, tea tasting, and night scenery viewing to people in Taipei, as people became more aware of tourism and leisure from the implementation of two-day weekend. However the influx of people did not only bring in business opportunity, it also brought in constructions of illegal buildings like range chicken and tea restaurants. The illegal constructions not only cause collapse roads and landslides, it also creates major damage to the local ecosystem. Also, the traditional tea production slipped noticeably due to soil acidification from the long-term land use. The self-grown vegetable business run by the local residents causes both soil and water conservation damage and environmental pollution. Furthermore, the narrowed industrial roads and the lack of parking space have no ability to handle the traffic influx and illegal parking generated from the holiday touristic activities. These issues create risks to the sustainable development in Maokong area.
The leisurely agricultural development is different from the traditional agricultural production and process; it has leisure activity service and all the required facilities. And so it has a greater land usage and effect level than ordinary agriculture. How to manage the land usage and facility positioning under the legitimate land use principal is the important task towards sustainable development. Looking back at the development of touristic policies in Maokong, Taipei, leisure agriculture, and hillside development, Maokong has been mismanaged. During the whole process of leisure agriculture promotion, the difficult upkeep of existing farmland and the illegal use of farmland exists in Maokong are due to the facts of unclear farmland policies, the overly complicated regulations, the dispersion of power and responsibility, and the lack of management plan to the whole land. Maokong area, as a marginal zone of urban planning, has been a pioneer of leisure agriculture development. However, it failed to development further legitimately towards the end of the development process. It all because of the scattered land from the multiple inheritances failed to meet the standard of leisure agriculture application.
In the past, the land use methods in Taiwan have been urban redevelopment, new township and community development, urban expansion, etc. Nowadays the main development methods are land redistribution, zone expropriation, development permit, urban redevelopment, etc. However, regardless of which method is executed, land development policies’ effectiveness would be limited, bogged down, or non-effective if there isn’t a development plan that takes everything into consideration. The fast pace of political and economical change, the impact from the contradiction between policy’s goal and result, and efficiency of land management, all are the facts that may take a development plan into failure. Therefore, when reexamining land development, one should follow the characteristics of the area, land zoning management, accomplishing rate, residents’ favorable choice on environment, and development’s financial problem. Only doing so can achieve the goal of urban development that can improve life as a whole and bring up local economy.
This research is hoping to take the Maokong case to discover ways to improve present development plans while keeping environmental protection and sustainable development in mind. I want to take the development permit system and implement that into the suitable land use management and system. Maokong’s local competiveness will improve and environmental quality will rise. Making it into a delicate leisure agriculture and recreational development where people can enjoy fine tea and experience farm life.
