Citizen journalists delve into the stories of Taipei’s Xiaocheng

In the second PeoPo Your Shoot event of this year, we led a group of citizen journalists into the community of Xiaocheng in Ankeng, a hillside residential community with a history of more than 30 years. Due to the way in which building development licenses were formerly granted, there have been disputes between community residents and builders over public property rights. On the plus side, these disputes have promoted a sense of solidarity and cohesion among residents, motivating young people to get involved in community development and create a whole new look in Xiaocheng.

For this event, citizen journalists were divided into two teams. Led by the borough warden and Taipei Xiaocheng Residents' Committee members, they were given an in-depth understanding of Xiaocheng, which covered everything from public property rights and the provision of meals for elders to soil and water conservation and the local environment. The overarching feeling of the day was that Xiaocheng is a place brimming with fascinating stories.

台北小城故事多 公民記者踹拍報導

PeoPo公民新聞平台今年的第二場踹拍活動，帶領公民記者到新北市安坑的台北小城社區，這裡是個有30多年歷史的山坡型集合住宅社區，但卻因為當初的老丙建開發執照，導致社區居民和建商在公設產權上產生糾紛，但這些紛爭喚起居民的社區意識，也讓一些年輕人站出來投入社區改造，反而讓台北小城有了不同的風貌。

   這次公民記者分為兩隊，分別在小城里里長以及台北小城管委會成員的帶領下，深入認識小城的各個角落，從公設產權到水土保持，再到社區的長輩共餐照顧以及自然生態環境，讓公民記者充分感受到，小城故事多。
