Abstract
This is an in-depth report on the Digital Opportunity Center（DOC） at Longyan-Lin, a rural community of Chungliao Township, Nantou County. The DOC was launched under a government project to bridging the digital divide in rural area, which provides the residents in remote villages with opportunities to access to the Internet and digital information. The local organization Longyan-Lin Welfare Association, established by local residents after 921 earthquake, plays an important role in running Taiwan’s first DOC at Longyan-Lin. To tell the story of the first DOC, this report investigated into the features of Longyan-Lin community and described how the local organization operated the DOC and what impacts the DOC brought about. The report found that after two years of launching, Longyan-Lin began to prepare for its autonomous operation DOC without government’s support. This case shows the well-running of the local organization and the DOC which symbolize the revitalization of a rural community after the earthquake. Longyan-Lin’s experience helps to give a lesson to other rural communities and the government to promote the DOC in Taiwan.
