Sanhe Community creates environmental education paradise

With a focus on low-impact development, Sanhe Community in Taoyuan’s Longtan District uses eco-friendly building methods for retaining walls. In this simple rural Hakka community, you won’t see any of the usual cement-based landscaped structures, but instead a rich natural environment. With eco-friendliness a prerequisite to the community’s building plans, Sanhe has made the best use of local resources and forged its own unique development path ahead.  

In 2012, Sanhe Community won the Community Work Award of Excellence from the Ministry of Interior, and in 2014, the Environmental Education Award of Excellence from Taoyuan County Government. An important driving force behind the community’s success is Li Li-Zhen (李麗珍), Director of Sanhe Community Development Association.

After taking over as community director in 2008, she completely reorganized the previously underperforming community development association, establishing a membership system to foster a culture of responsibility and bring local residents together.

三和社區 打造環境教育的桃花源

照片

桃園龍潭的三和社區，保留原始生態工法的擋土牆，是社區居民對實行減量開發的堅持。在這個純樸的客家農村，看不到水泥搭建的營造景觀，取而代之的是豐富的自然生態環境，三和以不破壞生態為前提推動社區營造，善用在地資源，走出屬於自己特色的社造之路。

三和社區於二Ｏ一二年，獲頒內政部社區工作評鑑優等獎，並在二Ｏ一四年，獲得桃園縣環境教育獎特優的肯定，背後的重要推手是社區發展協會理事長李麗珍。她二ＯＯ八年接任社區理事長後，重新整頓原本成效不如預期的社區發展協會，建立會員制度，藉此培養會員責任，凝聚居民的向心力。
