A great variety of natural resources abound in the Taiwan area featuring a mountainous environment. Since 1987, the Soil and Water Conservation Bureau (SWCB)under the Council of Agriculture of Executive Yuan has taken rural townships (urban townships, cities and regions) as its objects and depended on the features of each of these areas to plan industrial development, public and utility facilities, improvement of living environment as well as the protection of cultural relic sites and the environment, while each area has independently developed the distinct features based on its own existing rural resources.
However, in a new era of information diversity, the information communication has been merged into the daily life. In this view, the SWCB has counted on network groups as the media to build up the Rural Scenery Website, where they are marketing nationwide such features as the effectiveness of soil and water conservation, views, ecosystem and afforestation, and integrating such information as sites, accommodation, tourism and agricultural specialties to provide an insight into the geographical and humanistic features of the rural communities under construction, and further into the surrounding famous sites. Meanwhile, this site is constructed to promote the relevant SWCB counseling activities for rural construction, plan the garden plots to facilitate the community communications, so that the overall construction of rural communities can be combined with the characteristics of local cultural industries to exhibit the new look of countryside, vitalize the rural areas and motivate the overall growth of each community.
The Rural Scenery Website covers a Fascinating Countryside unit, which provides the detailed picture & text introduction of various sites in the rural area, as well as an Audio Video Room, which can not only present an exhaustive description of beautiful rural sceneries to you and share the new outlooks of the countryside in Taiwan with you, but also serve as a great place at which you can assimilate the new recognitions of the countryside. Every bit of knowledge about our rural areas can be available on the Rural Scenery Website! |
