Full textAbstract:
This dissertation examines the mutual construction of relatedness and the economy amongst the Rukai of Taiwan. A person is imagined as the embodiment of a couple’s collaborative efforts at work and hence practises of work are central to making a person the site of relatedness. Significantly, work refers to both human efforts and human agency – in contrast to ritual performance. With respect to their experiences of capitalism, I suggest that money not only embodies the fruit of labour for the Rukai, but is also thought to be a living thing with fertility that is important for domestic reproduction as well as the realisation of inter-house relations. Rukai workers consider work for kin paid by piece rate to be the enactment of kinship morality rather than undertaken just for payment. With kin-employer’s provision of gifts to kin-workers, an act of exploitation is transfigured into a practice implying reciprocity. Above all, workers emphasise conviviality in doing piecework in the company of kin, and such work enacts domestic sociality in the Rukai context. By contrast, labour paid in daily wages is viewed as toil, and a wage is seen as ‘bitter money’. This is associated with experiences of unreasonable labour time on the shop floor. In the wake of increasing unemployment, the moral code stemming from kinship in turn underpins the provision of food to jobless kin. Meanwhile, the Rukai expect the government, viewed as a superior, powerful caretaker, to offer them opportunities of employment in terms of ‘having pity’ on the unemployed. However, Rukai engagement in wage labour is, strikingly, experienced as bodily affliction. I argue that Rukai participation in charismatic healing practices for the purpose of repairing distress and affliction is tantamount to implicit resistance to the encroachment of capitalism.

Full textAbstract:
Tiivistelmä. Tässä opinnäytetyössä tarkastellaan matkailun kestävyyttä matkailuyritysten näkökulmasta. Tarkoituksena on tutkia kestävän matkailun arvottamista, kestävyyden edistämiseen liittyviä toimia, kestävyyden edistämisen motivaatioita sekä kestävyyden kehittämiseen liittyviä mahdollisia haasteita. Esimerkkitapauksena toimivat Ruka-Kuusamon alueen matkailuyritykset.
Tutkielman teoreettinen viitekehys pohjautuu kestävän matkailun ja kestävän kehityksen käsitteisiin sekä näiden toteutumiseen matkailuyrityksissä. Käsitteellisen tarkastelun lisäksi teoriaosuudessa esitellään aiempaa tutkimusta, jota on tehty kestävästä matkailusta matkailuyrityksissä.
Tutkimuksen aineisto on kaksiosainen. Ensimmäisenä aineistona toimii kvantitatiivinen kyselyaineisto. Verkkokyselyyn vastasi 34 Ruka-Kuusamon alueella toimivaa matkailuyritystä. Tämän aineiston analysoinnissa hyödynnettiin tilastollisia menetelmiä. Toinen aineisto on kvalitatiivinen ja se koostuu seitsemästä Ruka-Kuusamon alueen matkailuyrityksen haastattelusta. Haastatteluja analysointiin kvalitatiivisin analyysimenetelmin esimerkiksi teemoittelun avulla.
Tutkimuksen tulosten perusteella Ruka-Kuusamon matkailuyritykset pitävät kestävän matkailun kaikkia osa-alueita tärkeinä. Tärkeimpinä osa-alueina korostuvat ekologinen ja taloudellinen kestävyys. Myös kestävyyden eteen tehtävät toimet liittyvät yleisimmin näihin kahteen osa-alueeseen. Kestävyyden kehittämisen motivaatiot ovat usein taloudellisia, mutta myös yrittäjän ja yrityksen arvot vaikuttavat halukkuuteen panostaa kestävyyteen.
Suurimpina haasteina matkailun kestävyyden kehittämiselle yritykset kokevat toimijoiden asenteet, ajan ja tiedon puutteen sekä sen, miten kaikki alueen toimijat saadaan sitoutettua kestävän matkailun periaatteisiin. Myös muiden toimialojen, etenkin kaivostoiminnan, nähdään aiheuttavan haasteita matkailun kestävyydelle Ruka-Kuusamon alueella. Tulevaisuuden kannalta voisi siten olla tarpeellista löytää jokin taho, joka lähtisi vetämään matkailun kestävyyden kehittämistä koko Ruka-Kuusamon matkailualueella. Kestävää kehitystä voisi olla syytä hallita myös laajemmin alueellisella tasolla eri toimialojen välisten ristiriitojen selvittämiseksi.

Full textAbstract:
Hayek's interpretation of Smith's invisible hand as a metaphor for the theory of spontaneous order still holds as the only authentic interpretation of that famous phrase, despite all criticism. Although not many authors noticed it, Hegel was a theorist of spontaneous order, namely also a theorist of the spontaneous order of market economy. There is evidence that Hegel followed here Adam Smith's teachings about the invisible hand. The invisible hand is present in Hegel's writings as an element, from what sprang his theory of spirit. That means that his theory of spirit is a general theory of spontaneous order, although written in metaphysical manner. However, being a theorist of spontaneous order didn't prevent him from being an interventionist. He was led to interventionism by his synoptic fallacy of mind. He never tried to apply this fallacy on the studies of the market economy. Marxists did that. Some of recent scholars (Sciabarra, Johnson, and Cristi) identified Hegel's theory of spontaneous order, but their interpretation wasn't perfectly in accordance with Hegel's texts. How these authors denied Popper's and Hayek's incorrect opinion that Hegel was a totalitarian, thus it is needed to enrich studies of mentioned current scholars. Here it is taken into account only what Hegel wrote, not later authors about him. This thesis is also an attempt to evaluate the history of economic thought from the standpoint of Smith's and Hegel's methodology.

Full textAbstract:
Production of staples occupies an important part in Sub-Saharan Africa‘s crop production, and maize is its single most important food staple. This thesis mainly examines the role of maize in farmers‘ livelihoods and wellbeing in Tanzania, in the context of a long period of reforms that have affected both the maize market, agriculture more widely. It does so by exploring the role of maize in household‘s on and off-farm diversification, the determinants of crop productivity, and the relationship between diversification, commercialisation and‘ well-being. A number of specific issues are explored including the importance of factors such as farm size and education, access to key inputs such as seeds, fertilizers and agricultural extension services. The thesis uses data collected from three districts of Rukwa, one of Tanzania‘s major maize producing regions, and some secondary agricultural data from official sources. The research found that households with more land were generally more diversified (both on-farm and off-farm) than those with less land, and they experienced higher levels of well-being as measured by a range of concepts of well-being, but that maize continues to play an important role households‘ livelihoods and well-being. The research also revealed low levels of use of important agricultural inputs such as modern fertilizers and extension services, which may explain the low yields observed in the region. Education emerged as an important factor in raising yields, increasing commercialisation and also well-being, suggesting that nonagriculture policies may also be important for improving productivity and welfare of farmers. Despite the importance of crop production to their‘ well-being, households face several constraints; these include access to fertilizers, improved seeds and other chemical inputs necessary for higher production, and extension services. These findings have important policy implications as many rural households continue to rely on agriculture, especially production of staples. Therefore, these results could help the central and local governments to formulate strategies geared towards improving rural well-being.

Full textAbstract:
Bibliography: leaves 91-97.The quest for sustenance inevitably forces mankind to exploit natural resources found within their environs. In many cases, the exploitation results in massive environmental degradation that disrupts the ecosystem and causes loss of bio-diversity. There is generally a lack of information systems to monitor and provide quantitative information on the state of the affected environment. Decision-makers usually fail to make informed decisions with regard to conservation strategies. The need to provide decision-makers with quantitative environmental information formed the basis of this thesis. An integrated environmental information system (EIS) database was developed according to the Software Development Methodology for three of the identified environmental sectors. This involved detailed user needs assessment to identify the information requirements (both spatial and textual) for each sector. The results were used to design separate data models that were later merged to create an integrated data model for the database application. A fisheries application prototype was developed to implement the proposed database design. The prototype has three major components. The Geographic Information System (GIS) handles the spatial data such as rivers, settlements, roads, and lakes. A relational database management system (RDBMS) was used to store and maintain the non-spatial data such as fisherman ' s personal details and fish catch data. Customized graphical user interfaces were designed to handle the data visualization and restricted access to the GIS and RDBMS environments.

Cinq mois de mission sur le terrain ont permis de controler la cinematique de ces structures ainsi que les directions locales de l'extension. La zone de failles d'assoua joue un role de deviateur et ne constitue donc pas un lien structural active au neogene entre les branches orientale et occidentale du rift. La zone de failles trm est consideree comme un rift oblique dextre evoluant sous une extension regionale orientee n90. L'influence de l'heritage des discontinuites imprimees dans le socle proterozoique est egalement discute en termes de discontinuites localisantes ou non localisantes. Ces differents aspects sont synthetises dans un modele cinematique d'evolution du systeme de rift est-africain sous une extension regionale de direction n90-100, excluant un role de proto-transformante intracontinentale pour les deux grandes zones transverses d'assoua et trm

The social organizations of the Rukai and Paiwan belong to the same class rank. The aristocracy in these societies enjoys a lot of privileges. Tribal tattoo, for example, is one of them. It is also a symbol for social status. The Rukain and Paiwan aristocratic women’s hand-totem patterns are definitely a sign of class identities. These characterized patterns share a more representative meaning of clan cultures. In this study, its main purpose is to discuss: 1. The meanings and sorts of decoration rights in the Rukai.2. How the Rukain women obtain their rights in Wutai, Pingtung. How hand-totems are operated, what these specific tools are, and why these totem patterns are designed in different ways.3. Contemporary hand totems of the Rukai culture in modern times.4. The changes and adjustments of hand totems in the Rukai culture. To carry the point of this research, besides the collection of related data and documents, we''ve also made interviews with 11 old women with hand totems and 3 villagers in the Wutai Tribe. Also by drawing and taking photos of these totem patterns, we intend to understand the real images of each totem picture. According to these interviews, most old ladies in this tribe had their hand totems operated at their own houses. Later in the era of Japanese occupation over Taiwan, some of them, on the other hand, hid themselves in the fields or farms and tattooed their hands there. In most cases, it takes them nearly two days to complete the whole totem procedure. Young Rukains use special needles to create hand totems while the elderly tattoo themselves by barbules of orange trees or bamboos. Moreover, they paint these totems with dust and ash from the bottom of pots. Hand-totem patterns of lord and loon are different. It is forbidden that women with hand totems can’t eat meat or something salty and with water. Besides, pregnant women are not allowed to watch this tattoo ritual. Female villagers who have hand totems need to wear gloves in front of tribal holy places. To sum up, the conclusion of this research is: Hand totems indeed represent the class ranks and social structures of the Rukai, including virginity and patents’ love. These totems also reveal the life style and social regulations in this tribe. It is important to record this cultural value and treat as a life material for generations.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis researches on aspect and tense in Rukai by focusing on their interpretation and interaction. The issues center on two component parts: the association between morphology and eventuality/situation type, and that between morphology and tense. In the domain of eventuality, I establish a connection between determiner morphology (specifically, the case morphemes) and event structuring at the level of verbal formation. It is argued that Rukai case markers correlate with a set of verbal prefixes that form a part of verbal stems in structuring eventualities. A generalized hypothesis of morphological merger is proposed to account for this morphosyntactic correlation and other formational instances. Secondly, I examine the interrelation of nominalization, voice formation and eventuality. It is argued that nominalization is used to construct a third kind of voice in Rukai, the object voice, in addition to the active and passive. The study indicates that derived nominalized and object voice constructions convey derived states, whose interpretation result from an aspectual shift in the domain of eventuality. In the domain of tense, I investigate the interpretation of tense markers and their interaction with aspect. The way how the nonfuture tense gets interpreted shows that it is temporally indeterminate, but aspectually constrained. The future is characterized by its function as a temporal marker in modal constructions. The interaction of the future tense with modals indicates that it can specify temporal posteriority in modal constructions. Furthermore, it is argued that the perfect aspect forms a complex tense with the nonfuture in conveying a past meaning. The nonfuture and future tenses are further examined in sentences with sub-ordinate clauses. The study shows that the nonfuture and the future tense behave differently with respect to their relation with a reference point in complex sentences. The nonfuture is more restricted than the future tense in that it cannot take a future time as its temporal reference, whereas the future can take a past time as its temporal reference.text

This thesis investigates echo vowels in Budai Rukai (an Austronesian language spoken in Taiwan) from an Optimality Theory perspective. An echo vowel is an epenthetic element which is identical to the vowel in the preceding syllable. In my observation, Budai Rukai has CVC in underlying forms. However, due to the prohibition that consonants can not appear in the coda position in surface form, an echo vowel must be inserted after the final coda consonant of a word. Two phenomena of echo vowels are discussed in this study: (i) in terms of form, an echo vowel is in general the same as the vowel in the preceding syllable. However, when the vowel in the preceding syllable is /a/, the echo vowel becomes /ə/; (ii) echo vowels can not be parsed in foot. Through a cross-linguistic comparison of echo vowels, this thesis assumes that echo epenthesis is formed by the interaction between phonological system and perception. So this thesis follows the framework of autosegmental constraints (Uffmann 2001, 2004, 2006) and P-map (Steriade 2008) to explain the behavior of echo vowels. First, the autosegmental constraints explain that the phonological system of Budai Rukai uses the vowel harmony strategy to insert echo vowels. However, when the preceding vowel is /a/, it will switch to the default vowel insertion strategy. Second, P-map explains that perception might play a role in the choice of the default vowel /ə/ when Budai Rukai using the default vowel insertion strategy. As for the phenomenon that echo vowels can not be parsed in foot, we can assume the constraint HEADDEP (i.e. any insertion vowel can not exist in foot) to predict the right form of stress assignment, glide formation, and whether long vowels are independent phonemes in words that have echo vowels.

This thesis questions the existence of “case markers” in Budai Rukai. Case markers have long been considered as double-tier pre-nominal indicators. Syntactically, case markers represent the grammatical roles of the nominal argument they precede. Semantically, case markers also manifest certain semantic factors of the argument nouns such as definiteness, specificity, and anaphoric relation. This thesis uses the functional approach of grammar to explain the function of three determiners ka, ku, and ki, which are traditionally considered to be case markers in Budai Rukai. We use discourse analysis on Budai Rukai narrations to see the actual behaviors of these determiners. By doing so, we can reassess the claim that ka, ku, and ki are case markers in Budai Rukai. This thesis contains five chapters. Language background is introduced in chapter 1. Chapter 2 gives a summary of two important previous researches about the case marking of Budai Rukai. We also illustrate the inconsistency of the usage frequency of ka, ku, and ki. The ka and ku determiners appear very rarely in our Budai Rukai narration. This tendency makes them very hard to be connected to any syntactic and semantic functions. In chapter 3, we give the definitions and examples of the three major case marking systems and the adaptive force behind them. We also use the scalar Transitivity to examine our data. We find that the three determiners are not sensitive to transitivity. Chapter 4 further solidifies our claim by illustrating that case marking device is always not compatible with grammatical roles. Therefore, we measure the topicality of the agent and patient in Budai Rukai transitive sentence, and find that agents always have higher topicality than patient. This tendency shows that agents are the default subjects in sentences. The final chapter summarizes the preceding three chapters and provides our conclusion. We also compare our findings with other Formosan studies which are done in identical or similar theoretical framework. We, in the end, provide our suggestions for future research.

This thesis investigates the Tona dialect of Rukai, a Formosan language spoken in the Tona Village, Maolin County, Kaohsiung Prefecture, Taiwan. The aim of this thesis is to provide a comprehensive description of the morphosyntactic manifestations of participants including the nominal case marking system and the pronominal system. The thesis is organized into four chapters: Chapter One provides a general geographical and linguistic background of Tona (Rukai). It contains the research method and a brief introduction to the phonological system and verb conjugation. Chapter Two investigates the nominal case marking system. First, there are two sets of case markers in Tona. The ones for personal proper nouns, ki and -an, distinguish the nominative/genitive case and the oblique case. Those for common nouns have been neutralized in case distinction but indicate an anaphoric vs. non-anaphoric contrast (ko vs. na). Second, concerning obligatority, the case markers for personal proper nouns are canonically obligatory while those for common nouns are optional. However, they may behave differently according to the definiteness of the head nouns and linguistic structures. Third, the word order of lexical arguments is basically free unless the case markers fail to distinguish their grammatical roles, where the order appears to be VSO. The internal ordering of complex NPs is also discussed. Fourth, an overlapped use of different sets of case markers is found in human nouns, which shows the shift of semantic properties of human nouns. Finally, case markers can be used in nominalized words or clauses. Chapter Three discusses the pronominal system. There are five sets of personal pronouns: topic, free nominative, bound nominative, oblique and genitive. Topic pronouns with the same forms as free nominative set serve as the topic of a sentence. They appear before the predicates, followed by ka or/and prefixed by a-. Free nominative pronouns serve as the subject in a matrix or complement clause. Bound nominative pronouns are prefixed to non-finite verbs. They may designate volition of the speaker/agent and serve an emphatic function in imperative sentences but always appear in the irrealis mode. Oblique pronouns canonically serve the object role but in Tona they can also denote experiencers of some stative verbs, designate possessive relation in kinship, time and location. Genitive pronouns denote the possessors in possessive relation. In Tona, they are used in interrogative sentences and subordinate clauses to designate the agent role. Besides, they are assimilated with the negator i- and the irrealis morpheme ni- in these two structures. In addition, this chapter also discusses word order of pronouns and lexical noun phrases, the types of environment where variants of pronouns appear, some idiosyncratic features of third person pronouns including demonstratives and visibility, the contexts for the use of impersonal pronouns, some referential features of plural pronouns and a coreferential property of pronouns and lexical NPs. Chapter Four sums up the findings and provides suggestions for future research. The previous analyses concerning the case marking system and the pronominal system of Tona (Rukai) are presented in tables in the appendices.

The usage of wh-words of the Formosan languages is one of the important issues which have been dealt with in recent years. Huang et al. (1999) is the first systematic study of the wh-words of some Formosan languages, in which a discussion of Rukai is also included. Because it is a cross-language study, the discussion of the wh-words of Rukai is limited. And according to several schloars, Rukai exhibits tremendous dialectal distinctions. Based on these considerations, we choose Kucapungan Rukai, which belongs to the Budai Rukai dialect, for our study. This thesis is mainly of descriptive analysis, and the theoretical framework is based on Government and Binding Theory, and Principle and Parameter Theory. This thesis consists of two main parts: the study of wh-words as interrogatives and wh-words as indefinites. As for wh-words as interrogatives, we follow Huang et al. (1999) to put wh-words of Rukai into three types: (i) nominal; (ii) adverbial; and (iii) verbal. Each type has its own grammatical behavior. From a morphological perspective, some of the verbal wh-words exhibit a close relation morphologically. In comparison with some other Formosan languages, wh-words of Rukai also behave quite differently in that they can be grammatical subjects staying in-situ. In the second part of our discussion, we emphasize the indefinite usage of the wh-words of Rukai. Based on Tsai’s observation of Kavalan, Tsou and Seediq, we discuss the indefinite usage on three grammatical levels. On the syntactic level, five syntactic constructions are examined, and we conclude that Rukai is similar to Mandarin Chinese. On the morphological and phrasal levels, Rukai is detected to behave like English and Japanese in that it uses affixation, reduplication and universal quantification words to ensure the wh-words as indeifnites. In comparison with Kavalan, Tsou and Seediq, Rukai exhibits interesting grammatical phenomena.

In 2005, Taiwan amended its Cultural Heritage Preservation Act, officially adding “cultural landscape” as one of its preservation items and expanding the concept of preservation from single buildings to large-scale, region-based building clusters. However, many contradictions still remain concerning cultural landscape preservation. Therefore, this study examined the cultural landscapes of the Dona Tribe (of the Rukai people) to reinterpret the term “cultural landscape” for such Tribe. By collecting and analyzing literature data, conducting a field research, and interviewing senior Rukai people, this study explored the characteristics of the cultural landscapes of the Dona Tribe. Differences in the cultural development between the Eastern and the Western societies have created different cultural landscape theories. Likewise, the idea of cultural landscape may be different between Han Chinese and indigenous people living in Taiwan. Therefore, this study adopted both a microscopic and a macroscopic perspective, in which the former studied the cultural landscapes of the Dona Tribe, whereas the latter investigated cultural landscape-related preservation concepts in Taiwan and abroad. Such an investigation provided insight into the difference between the idea cultural landscape preservation held by the Dona Tribe and that held by the general public. This study first revisited the definition of cultural landscape provided by existent domestic and foreign research. Next, the study examined the historical changes and cultural landscapes of the Dona Tribe, the latter of which included aspects such as productions, lifestyle, culture, religions, and ideologies. Finally, the study identified the cultural landscape resources of the Dona Tribe that can be used by future studies examining the differences in cultural landscape preservation between different indigenous people.

Ethnozoology is the discipline of studying local culture, which was developed through the way how local people treat and use wild animals. In Taiwan, mountain hawk-eagles (Nisaetus nipalensis) have a deep connection with the traditional cultures of the Paiwan and Rukai tribes. However, past works have mostly focused on the Paiwan tribe instead of those on the Rukai tribe. Through in-depth interviews with 50 chiefs and mamazangilan (the nobility) from 13 Rukai tribal regions in Kaohsiung City, Pingtung, and Taitung Counties, we identified adrisi being the traditional name for mountain hawk-eagles in Rukai (and adhiyi in the Wanshan tribal region). The bird was symbolized as royalty and only can those who took controls over river (laugelauge), land (abausu), hunting grounds (daban) wear hawk-eagle feathers. The transformation of hundred-pace snake (Deinagkistrodon acutus) into the hawk-eagle is the most commonly mentioned Rukai legend. Traditionally, those qualified to wear hawk-eagle feathers included big chiefs, warriors who took lives of enemies, and brides. The brides were allowed to wear on the wedding day only and then they had to give the feather back to the big chief. Feather-wearing rules differ among tribes; for instance, some chiefs were buried with feathers. Many tribes have folksongs about the hawk-eagle to commentate hunting achievements. Traditional ecological knowledge recognizes the bird inhabited and nested on mountain cliffs at 200~2,000 m a.s.l. It is more often seen in autumn/winter and it is characterized with feathered toes and a crest. Eagle hunters often use shotguns or steel jaw baited with animal corpses to capture them for ceremony, meat, feather, gift, and funerals. Mostly respondents said they used the feathers instead of other parts of the hawk-eagle body such as bush meat in tradition. There were about 12 different terms for various feathers used in the culture. The Palrici (P5-P6) was regarded as the most valuable feathers of all and only the big chief can wear the Palrici ; however there was inconsistence in whether P5 or P5 is the Palrici among villages. The longer and wider the feathers, the more triangular markings and precious they are. In the old days, the big chief wore just one single feather by inserting it on the headdress upright but nowadays most wore two to three ones. In total, 13 out of 52 respondents of 13 tribal villages possessed 1-5 sets of feathers and nine respondents owned 6-10 sets. Fourteen loyal families, who are in possession of single feather, were mostly uncertain of the amount of feathers they actually had. The feathers mainly came from inheritance, being followed by purchase (76% from art store). Each feather set costs 3,000~36,000 NTD and 32% of the trading was due to the betrothal gift for children’s wedding. Around half of the respondents supported the traditional feather usage because they wished such tradition can carry on. However, some 30% of those respondents were pessimistic about the tradition restoration. Half of the respondents accepted the idea of using imitated feathers. If government would provide real ones by free, more than 60% would cease to purchase any longer. Around 40% of the respondents considered the first priority of filing feather application will be for the betrothal gift.

This study aims at investigating the developmental context of the traditional subsistence farming system of Wutai Rukai Tribe. The traditional farming system of the tribe employs a mixed cropping strategy to grow foxtail millet, peanut, upland taro, and paddy taro so as to adapt to the capricious environment and preserve crop diversity. This is associated with the tribe''s social and cultural developmental context and is of important value in terms of economical and industrial development and culture preservation. In particular, given the current climate change, the traditional knowledge of adapting the agricultural practices to the environment provides an insight into sustainable development. The current study distinguishes itself from previous tribe studies in that it adopts a local viewpoint based on the indigenous traditional agricultural practices that underwent a long colonial period, to review changes due to impacts of governmental policies during Japanese colonization and rule of Republic of China (ROC) on the traditional agriculture in Wutai Rukai tribe, thus reconsidering the important value of sustainability of traditional agriculture for the tribe while mainstream industry develops and the climate changes. Regarding research methods, participant observation and semi-structured interviews were employed to survey how farmers in the Wutai Rukai tribe keep and practice subsistence farming methods in traditional agriculture on limited arable land throughout the ages based on their traditional knowledge of agricultural practices; and to survey how they preserve crop diversity to maintain a sustainable development of tribal agriculture and culture. The traditional agricultural system in the Wutai Rukai tribe is limited in its arable area and hence could not afford a massive cultivation. Therefore the traditional production is not profit-oriented but aims at subsistence, and so indirectly preserves a diversity of traditional crops. There are mainly four types of land use in the traditional agricultural system, namely that of warmer area, the buffer zone between cold and warm areas, cold and damp area, and area with abundant water supply. Crops are grown using mixed cropping, intercropping, and crop rotation methods, with factors such as different crops'' adaptability to climate and environment, interaction of growing areas, efficiency of space utilization, deployment of manpower, and food security considered. According to crops'' adaptability to the environment, upland taro mixed cropping takes place mainly in the cold and damp area and then in the buffer zone between cold and warm areas. Crops for upland taro mixed cropping primarily include upland taro, and, secondarily, maize, Formosa lambsquarters, pigeon pea, sweet potato, pumpkin, common yam, etc. Mixed cropping of foxtail millet and peanut as well as monocropping of sweet potato take place mainly in warmer area and then in the buffer zone between cold and warm areas. Crops for foxtail millet mixed cropping primarily include foxtail millet, and, secondarily, Formosa lambsquarters, maize, sorghum, Formosa frost grass, pigeon pea, pumpkin, cowpea, sweet potato, etc. Crops for peanut mixed cropping primarily include peanut, and, secondarily, sesame, maize, cowpea, pumpkin, pigeon pea, sweet potato, etc. Crops for paddy taro mixed cropping primarily include paddy taro, and secondarily, areca nut, betel pepper, sugarcane, banana, Chinese chive, shallot, etc. Crops for sweet potato monocropping primarily includes sweet potatio, and secondarily, Formosa lambsquarters. Results of the survey reveal that Wutai tribe preserves 78 local varieties of 26 crops. And cultivation of the varieties is based on individual choices and preferences. Through exchanging or giving, people in the tribe are able to grow different crop varieties in the next year when they need to, which is the major way the Rukai people maintain crop diversity. Because different crop varieties have different functions and cultural meanings in the Rukai cultural context, preserving crop diversity is particularly meaningful and of important value for a sustainable development of Rukai traditional culture and for preservation of genetic diversity. Sharing and giving of crops in the tribe in order to maintain subsistence and food security appears especially important in view of difficulties arising from climate change and environmental anomaly.

The UN 1992 Conference on Environment and Development had announced that traditional indigenous knowledge and conventions would be very important to environmental management and development. Therefore, more and more countries value traditional indigenous ecology knowledge. Traditional botanical knowledge is one type of traditional ecological knowledge. Study of culture adaption and transmission is the agenda of anthropology. This study focused on exploring the transmission and loss on traditional botanical knowledge in different locations, gender and generations of western Rukai at Ziuci village and Kochapogan village in Pingtung County. Survey research methods,including questionnaire, face-to-face interview, and participation observation were employed. One hundred seven individuals covering 10% of total villagers in the studied areas completed the questionnaire and 230 copies of filed notes were recorded. In-depth interviews were conducted with five people in Kochapogan village and three people in Ziuci village to find out the real conditions of the transmission and loss on traditional botanical knowledge. Results indicated that levels of traditional botanical knowledge were significantly different between genders and generations, but not differed in locations. People learned traditional botanical knowledge mainly from their families. The collapse of knowing traditional plants' names was much more serious than knowing the traditional usage, which was also related to the using frequency. Reasons that influence the transmission of traditional botanical knowledge include impressive life experiences, practical consideration and education. Causes of losing traditional botanical knowledge are changes of lifestyle and environment, generation gap, gender differences. The collapse of traditional botanical knowledge is apparent. Finally, this study proposed suggestions that traditional knowledge should be involved in the mother tongue curriculum in school, as well as be blended with the community activity and eco-tourism interpretations.

Recently, human being has nearly used up natural resources and the environment has been devastated seriously. For this reason, Sustainable Development received more attention. This research seeks the wisdom in the traditional ecological knowledge (TEK) of western Rukai indigenous community in Pingtung for the topic of Sustainable Forest, in which the research visit the family who have planted trees for over fifty years. Numerous semi-structured interviews will be conducted to collect the information about the relationship between human and nature, and to record the process of planting trees. After the data collection, grounded theory method will be used to analyze the data. The results show that “a genuine human” in Rukai clearly know they have a symbiosis relationship with the nature, and they especially respect the tree, river and land which they conceived as the concept of Source. Thus, they have taboo to regulate their behaviors to control the pollution made by human. The family conduct a special method to plant multiple and original trees back, and this not only rebuild the original forest but also help people seek out the connection with nature during the process. I hope that the findings of this research can provide guidelines for ESD, which can let people recall and strengthen their connection with nature and further cultivate the value of sustainability.

Wutai village, in which 2682 Rukai people dwell and the weather is always foggy throughout the entire year, is the highest altitude administrative region of Pingtung County located on the high mountain area. Due to the late development in traffic and the devotion of the elderly seniors in the tribe, the rich natural resources, traditional cultural assets, and the art and culture of the Rukai tribe are well preserved, and thus make the Village the biggest tribe with rich traditional cultures in the County. Among the various tribes of Taiwan indigenous people, the Rukai tribe is featured by its class system, in which the rank of nobility is hereditary. They are granted with titles and privileged to own lands; moreover, there are distinctive ceremonies, ceremonial dress, and ritual implements. The marriage of the nobility can be divided into three types according to the difference of the spouse: same class marriage, hypergamy, and hypogamy. The marriage will not make any difference on the rank of the wedding parties; however, the rank of the child can be influenced. Customs of Rukai tribe in the marriage ceremonies are unique, including no ceremony wedding, baptized wedding, spiritual bonding ritual, and ritual of lily purchasing. In addition, a marriage is confirmed not until after pregnancy or a child is born or else it will end in divorce. It is a typical feature of the native traditional marriage. The study conducts a questionnaire survey, with the in-depth interviews and real time observation, recording the unique custom of wedding ceremony for Rukai nobility and hoping that the results of the study can serve as a truthful record combined literature survey and real practice, helping in the reservation of the unique Rukai wedding.

The importance of the indigenous Traditional Ecological Knowledge (TEK) has been widely recognized, some had already been adapted in the regional ecosystem and resource conserve. The roles of indigenous peoples have also been changed from outsider to cooperator in local resource management. Follow this international train; many in Taiwan have also considered the possibility of establishing a co-management framework for natural resource involving indigenous. However, under the present employment policy of the Taiwan Government, only those who received modem education, such as in most young generations, can become government employees and to be part of the management agent for natural resources. The level and status of TEK in young generations are therefore crucial for a successful co-management practice. This study interviewed 34 young Rukai members, 24 men and 10 women, with modem education to understand their general knowledge in TEK. Result showed that the older they left village for attending schools, the more acquainted with their mother language will be. Compared with those left their village in very young ages, interviewees who still living in the village or left the village until they were grown-up were more knowledgeable in their traditional hunting culture. In general, the earlier they accepted modem education the lesser they know about the their traditional hunting culture. Under the present administration system, therefore, it was recommended that a special advisory or consultant board should be established to include knowledgeable indigenous peoples into the management system or provide useful information.

Starting from the urban Rukai missions、this research explore the issue from three aspects: the first is the route of introduction of Christianity into Rukai Tribe. From the beginning、the missionaries entered into mountainous areas from lowland. Then due to the work、school and other social changes、many Rukais moved into metropolitan areas and the missions followed; furthermore、the researcher tried to understand the pastors』 experiences and strategies in church ministry in different groups; third、as old sayings: an advice from other may save one’s faults、the indigenous pastors from different sects lead the churches of diversified groups. In their mission strategies、they found that The Living Walters Church is one of the directions for expansion. In addition to the Introduction and Conclusions、this paper is divided into three chapters: Chapter II 「The Missionary History of the Living Walter Presbyterian Church in Northern Taiwan」 is divided into four sections for exploration. Firstly、it describes the history of introduction of gospel into Rukai community; secondly、the cause of the establishment of the Living Waters Church and the experiences in division、rooting、growth and seeking for breakthrough in the stability. Chapter III 「The Similarities and Dissimilarities in Spreading Gospel in Tribes and Urban Areas」 is divided into four sections. The researcher compared the indigenous hometown churches and urban churches through data collected from interviews. Chapter IV 「The Church Conflict Handling and Reconstruction」 is divided into four sections. Firstly、what may spark when the aboriginal culture collides with Christianity? If theirs is good linkage between traditional culture and beliefs、the sparkles could send out light and warmth and produce dazzling ray of light instead of intolerance. In the path of missionary expansion by indigenous urban churches、what the pastors face are the living and psychological situations the urban Rukai have to face every day. Is the Indigenous Association esistance or helpfulness? Is it possible for the church and the association to work together to offer help in urban Rukai’s daily life and beliefs? In the last part、the paper explores the missionary dilemma of indigenous urban churches and how to breakthrough.

English Abstract This thesis aims to investigate on the interface between the prosody (stress assignment) and the morphology (reduplication). In terms of stress assignment of Tona Rukai, I adopt Optimality Theory and co-phonology approach to solve the problems to avoid the abstractness and technical/theoretical problems of rule-based framework. To account for reduplication data, non-templatic approach is favored in this thesis. However, conventional non-templatic approach cannot account for Tona Rukai data properly because of the blind operation of markedness constraints. Accordingly, this thesis proposes a modified account for the unsolved disyllabic reduplicant problem of Tona Rukai—a prosodic faithfulness constraint undominated in the tableaux, as stated below: (1) MAX-HEAD(B/R) The segment linked to the prosodic head in the base must have a correspondent linked to the prosodic head in the reduplicant. Among the constraints: MAX-IO, MAX-HEAD(B/R) » PHONO-CONSTRAINTS » MAX-BR, the undominated prosodic BR-faithfulness constraint can specifically determine the content and the crucial element of the reduplicant. Therefore, the dominated markedness constraints can properly control the size of the reduplicant. The prosodic BR-faithfulness constraint is extended from the observation and the operation of Kager (1999a, 1999b) and Beckman (1998), who consider the element in the stressed position unique in terms of preservation and contrasts. Analogously, Tona Rukai reduplicant must parse the elements of the stressed position of the reduplicative base. Therefore, the BR-faithfulness constraint is well-motivated in the language fact. In addition, the theoretical operation of MAX-HEAD(B/R) can follow the correspondence theoretical mechanism in McCarthy and Prince (1995).

Based ob the field study from June 2003 to February 2005, this research explore on the traditional meaning of hunters in Kuchapungan and the transformation of the meaning till today. It was a traditional nobiliary hierarchy society for the Rukais, where hunting was the substantial way for men to promote status except subsistence need of animal protein. Being a hunter was a socialization process in tradition. Men had to leaning sharing game-meat with the whole tribe; learning the authority of the nobles; learning being familiar with the traditional territory; learning local ecological knowledge; learning being a tribe person instead of a family person. Because of the influences of politics, economic and social environment since the Japanese colonial period, the power structure of Kuchapungan and the reputation value had transformed. Being a “hunter” is no more meaning for promoting status and reputation, and the motivation of hunting is transformed from pursuing reputation to recreation, exercise, family tradition and ethic identity. In practice, being a hunter is no more a socialization process, and hunting become a politic and cultural slogan for pan-indigenous movement. The meaning of indigenous hunter is representing all the time, and the most important of all, is that the meaning of indigenous hunter should be determined by the tribal people

Through participant observation and in-depth interviews, research probe into the motherhood practices in Taromak tribe of Taitung and discover its collective caring network. Stores, churches and relative relationships share the burden of birth mother and therefore embody the collective childhood caring which is beyond family boundary. In addition, based on the ideal of “children of Taromak”, motherhood practices represent the responsibility and importance of cultural inheritance which is also beyond family boundary. Taromak women play the roles of child care and culture inherit. Motherhood practices of overloaded Taromak women reflect social status and anxieties of these underprivileged women and the complex social situation in the tribe. Such anxieties are caused from ideology of intensive mothering and complexity of caring network and therefore shape another kind of in-between and hybrid ideology of motherhood. Motherhood practices of Taromak women are shaped between modern society and the tribe. They are not only wishing their children obtain the necessary competitiveness in modern society but also wishing their children can be devoted to cultural affairs in the tribe. Therefore, Taromak women are exhaust to avoid downward mobility of their children by caring strategy that focus on endurance and independent in one hand. On the other hand, they devote their self to the cultural work and take the responsibility of uniting the tribe.

After Typhoon Morakot, the Government proposed the ‘Permanent Re-housing Plan after Typhoon Morakot’ and the related reconstruction and resettlement policies for the resettlement of the affected residents. In the construction process, theconstruction land was provided by the Government and the construction of permanent housing was contributed by civic groups. However, after the resettlement of the residents in the permanent housing, they have to face many problems about the reconstruction of life. Since its completion in 2010, permanent housing residents of Rinaria with that feeling of always feeling like their home is still 'incomplete'. Such as the residents of permanent only have the right of residence, non-arable land, no public cemeteries and imperfect public monitoring. Therefore, the present study attempts to understand whether or not it needed to make more arrangements when the permanent housing was completed? Or factors (if any) that should have been taken into consideration? Post-disaster reconstruction planning has been a key issue in Taiwan. Planners should not just re-housing victims but also think of the possibility of involving victims into planning process. This thesis takes a qualitative research and uses the planning of Rinaria permanent housing community as a case. By interviewing the planners and collecting documentary materials, this study analyzes the policy of permanent housing, the planning process of Rinaria community and the participation in the planning process. In addition, by tracing the development of planning value from different planning theory, this study also analyzes the relationship among information and participation in the planning process. It is intended that this research will serve as reference for the government in its post-disaster rebuilding performance evaluation so as to promote local governments’ professional capacities and put into place an effective model for benchmarking learning, allowing the injection of new ideas with better adequacy in rebuilding disaster-stricken areas. Lastly, according to the above survey, it shows that most residents consider that there are not enough rooms in the permanent housing, that public facilities are constructed too slowly and that the hardware of the permanent housing is poorly designed. In the cooperation of the construction of the resettlement area between the Government and civil organizations, both of them need to not only keep an effective communication with the residents but also jointly coordinate the problems related to the residents’ rehousing; as to the aspect of house design, they shall also respect the real needs of the ethnic culture and life of the rehoused residents to give a more flexible space design in order to facilitate the residents’ daily life; in addition to the house design, the construction of public facilities, the landscape planting, the life counseling after reconstruction are parts of the consistent operation. Therefore, it needs to prepare a detailed plan before the construction in order to develop the residents’ sense of identity and unity towards the new community and their affection towards the permanent housing and help them become willing to start their new life in the new hometown.
