4th Anniversary of Morakot Disaster Series – Laiji permanent settlement unveils model

In order to ensure that the building of a permanent housing settlement for disaster-stricken families of Laiji Village in Alishan Township was within their natural living environment, disaster survivors painstakingly traversed a long journey, taking them from protests and petitions, to environmental impact assessments and government bodies. They have endured a bitter and miserable journey, as well as the hardship of being forced to leave their homes each time a typhoon approaches, bringing with it the possibility of disaster.

The tribespeople have left their mark on The Control Yuan (監察院) by repeatedly petitioning its committee members, and finally succeeded in fixing a building location for Laiji Permanent Housing Village on Forestry Land (林班地) Plot 152. A few day ago, Zhang Heng-yu (張恒裕) Secretary-General of the Morakot Post-Disaster Reconstruction Council, Executive Yuan visited Laiji Plot 152, the final post-Morakot reconstruction site, which is now prepared and awaiting the start of construction work scheduled for October 19; it is hoped building work will be completed before the start of next year’s flood season.

However, Zhang Heng-yu spoke candidly, stating that with such a remote construction site, in addition to narrow roads which are in poor condition, to finish construction before the flood season next year will be no easy feat.

88風災四週年系列(4)來吉永久屋基地現雛型 影音

為了爭取原鄉重建的嘉義阿里山鄉來吉部落受災戶，從爭取、抗議、陳情、環評、行政等作業，歷經了艱辛的心路歷程，災民們熬過以淚洗面的辛酸，也熬過逢災必撤的顛沛歲月，與公部門奮戰了四年。四年來，族人的足跡也踏過監察院，上書監察委員，在歷經一場又一場，一遍又一遍的勘查之後，來吉永久屋的興建基地，終於塵埃落定在152林班地。日前，行政院莫拉克颱風災後重建推動委員會主任秘書張恒裕到152基地。來吉152基地，是莫拉克災後重建的最後一塊基地，目前已經整地完成，預計今年的10月19日開工興建，明年汛期前完成，但是張恒裕也不諱言；由於基地遠在來吉，連外道路狹隘，路況也不佳，要趕在汛期前完成，的確是有一定的困難度。
