Abstract
The Traditional Territories of Indigenous Peoples（TTIP） in Taiwan is originated in the interaction of indigenous people’s tribal organization and traditional social system. It implies that it is an organic body interacted between spatial and social or between cultural and physical dimensions. The territoriality is very much diversified. The change of local tribes in different specific stages due to various reasons is enormous. The TTIP has been changed in the context of time and space due to various driving forces such as local social– economical- political conditions. In addition, it also makes the study of the TTIP more difficult because of the constraints of languages, social, cultural and methodological factors..
Public participation geographic information system is the process that members in the community use spatial information to participate public decision making. In Taiwan, indigenous traditional territory has a lot of gaps because of the factors of ethnics, language, culture and institution. This study applied geographic information to promote local participation and integrate traditional knowledge of the Smangus community. In additions, by connecting the local context and applying GIS technology to prepare the geographic data, the authors in this study have also conducted survey and training program of Community Mapping for the Smangus Natives in the study of indigenous traditional territory. Otherwise, the empowerment and marginality in the multi-scales include community, ethnics and the indigenous peoples has been verified in order to assess the impacts of PPGIS applied in traditional territory study of the Smangus community.
The study has been aware of that the survey of TTIP involved in sustainable development of the tribal community should have mutual communication with local residents and their actively participating environmental resources management in their own living territory. In order to tackle a study on the relationship among tribal peoples and locales in different period of time, an appropriate survey methodology should be developed to evaluate the mechanism of empowerment and marginalization among tribal groups. However, according to this study, it’s known that a study on the indigenous traditional territory of Smangus Community from the four dimensions awareness, ability, participation and resources would be able to suitably evaluate the mechanism.
