Treasures of Puyan Township

Treasures of Puyan Township

In the past few years, many students who have taken service-learning courses went to Puyan Township. 

They learn community-building elements of Puyan Township and transform them into knowledge.

Moreover, sciences from school and knowledge from Puyan Township are combined to achievements which the community loves.

Based on those whys and wherefores, Puyan Township, Changhua County means a lot to both teachers and students in CYCU.

Therefore, we come back to Puyan Township this year.

In order to reply to the passion of inhabitants and training students learning by doing, then understanding the meaning of University Social Responsibility is ” Whatever you take from the society; use them for the society.”

At the same time, those communities with potential can grow and transform, which puts One Town One Product into practical application.

Our ultimate goal is for every community could turn into a social enterprise and earn what they need by themselves.

A Professional Team 

There are several professional lecturers from different research areas in our team.

The needs of research of communities and gather students from classes, thereby produce transformation plans with practicality and create.

Dr. Chen-Yu Lien (from the Department of Landscape Architecture, CYCU) and Dr. Frank Huang (from the Department of Commercial Design, CYCU) lecture the Community Empowerment and Citizen Participation course together. The course aims to plan landscape and product packaging programs.

Dr. Yi-Pei Hsu (from Department of Landscape Architecture, CYCU) lectures the Plant Design and Plant Design Fieldwork course. The course aims to plan the integral landscape of the community.

Dr. Jun-Lin Yeh (from the Department of Architecture, CYCU) lectures the Cultural Heritage and World Heritage course. The course aims to inventory old houses in the community and check ways to repair and reuse these historic buildings.

Dr. Ming-Yen Lee (from thr Department of Business Administrator, CYCU) brings students to form Huo Yuan Marketing, which aims to plan production marketing.

Dr. Chi-Tung Huang (from National Taipei University of Business) lectures the Landscape Botany course. The course aims to inventory original plants in Puyan Township and use them as material to design the landscape of the community.

Get Over The Difficulty From COVID-19

At the beginning of this year, COVID-19 cause lot of influences on ur original planning. The school day was delayed, such as the stroke to Puyan Township.

Visiting the community was the most affected stroke. We arrange to stay in the community for 3-7days in a stroke, meanwhile, a long stay can deeply understand the situation of the community.

For safety reasons, we decide to back and forth in the same day, and the schedule arrangement became a big difficulty.

From school day to we determine that students can go to Puyan Township, community and our team inevitably had some disputes.

To ensure the health of teachers, students, and inhabitants, we replace the long-stay stroke with one day trip.

Moreover, we fulfill temperature measuring, alcohol disinfection, and ensure that all staff wearing a mask.

It finally holds the balance between the program process and epidemic prevention.

Programs for Community

Due to the USR program have a there-year period, it aims to inventory resources of the community. We still propose some cases that the community could put into practice.

Dayou Village already has some marketing plan on a certain scale. They aim to increase sales volume of Golden Carbon Rice and make the rice into a high value-added by-product, such as rice crackers for babies.

Students taking the Community Empowerment and Citizen Participation course design a new packaging of Golden Carbon Rice, and plan a picture book of bio-charcoal which is used in growing Golden Carbon Rice, and design a Golden Carbon Rice museum to promote sightseeing.

Huo Yuan Marketing (from Department of Business Administrator, CYCU) cooperate with Yuan Shun Company in Yunlin. They outsource the rice crackers to Yuan Shun, and put Golden Carbon Rice to make some sample.

Yongle Village aims to sell their handmade dried vegetables and fermented bean curd. Also, they want some planning on ancient wedding sightseeing activities. In addition, there’s an idea about an all-weather corridor around Yongle community activity center.

Students taking the Community Empowerment and Citizen Participation course design three kinds of dried vegetables package and a can of fermented bean curd.

They still consolidate the history and the features of the ancient weddings, therefore students propose a set of sightseeing programs.

The all-weather corridor design is well received by the community, so that the Yongle community has decided to apply the financial subsidy from Soil and Water Conservation Bureau and put the case into practice. 

Wayao Village aims to design a series of landscapes, including Wayao image intersection, happy farm for the elderly.

The older can grow plants in the happy farm and enjoy the pleasure time.

Students taking Plant Design and Plant Design Fieldwork course focus on the image of the DRAGON which Wayao Village mentioned. 

Based on results from Landscape Botany course, they design several versions of a happy farm for the elderly.

During summer vacation, a happy farm for the elderly has been construction completed. Wayao Village even held the farm education camp in the happy farm.

Of course, students and teachers of CYCU actually participate in these events.

Elite Farmers Fruit and Vegetable Production Cooperative gather many farmers among Puyan Township. They sell agricultural products as a group and aim to expand channels and sales.

Students taking the Community Empowerment and Citizen Participation course design several new packaging of egg, grape, strawberry, baby corn…etc. They design a commodity display stand in Elite Farmers Fruit and Vegetable Production Cooperative as well.

Huo Yuan Marketing (from Department of Business Administrator, CYCU) collects information this semester. They predict to plan detailed marketing program in 109-1 semester.

For Future

During the whole semester, we sort out the information that gathered in these few months. And our goal for the second year is “DESIGN”.

At the same time, we will contact with other villages in the USR Plan, such as Fengze Village, Puyan Village, Shunze Temple.

All in all, we determine to show Puyen Township more and more good experiences.
