Abstract
In 2005, the concept of landscape/seascape conservation was introduced into the amended Cultural Heritage Preservation Law of Taiwan as a new legal subject entitled ‘ Cultural Landscape’. Cultural Landscape is a new concept for Taiwan which emphasises the interaction of local people and land. In Hualien County, a potential Cultural Landscape site, a two-year participatory action research project was conducted from May 2011 to June 2013. The current project followed up on the results of the earlier study and examined the fitness of the Satoyama Initiative framework and potential contributions of the collaborative planning approach to the management plan for the Cultural Landscape sites.
