[[alternative]]A Research of A-Fon's Vegetable Van and The Place of Zhaoan

[[abstract]] 詔安厝是一個名不見經傳的偏鄉農村，隸屬於台灣最重要穀倉──嘉南平原，其位置屬於台南市白河區的北五里，因與明鄭時期漢人由倒風內海溯急水溪而上所拓墾的據點大排竹相近，且又仳鄰八掌溪的支流頭前溪，值此地緣之故，詔安厝很早就已經開發完成，一直是台灣的重要農業區。 隨著台灣社會的變遷，由農業社會發展成為工商業社會，詔安厝也如同台灣的其他農村一般，年輕人口外流情況非常嚴重，留在家鄉繼續與田園為伴的，絕大部分只剩辛勤一輩子的老農，家鄉人口老化的現象讓人有不勝唏噓之感。 現今科技發達、社會進步，大賣場、超級市場與便利商店林立，方便了國人民生之所需，但是一位詔安厝的在地生活者阿鳳，卻在本身農事繁忙之餘，駕駛著菜車穿梭其間。這種五、六十年代的古老販售方式還能夠存在，其活動背後必有其深層的意義和價值。 本研究旨在探討阿鳳菜車與詔安厝聚落居民生活脈絡之關連，透過參與觀察、深度訪談與次級資料的研究，再經過整理與分析之後，獲致如下成果：1.從歷史軌跡與自然、人文等面向，真實呈現詔安厝聚落居民的生活面貌。2.由地景看詔安厝的產業特色與困境。3.阿鳳菜車使新的公共空間形成並成為居民情感依附與認同的「地方」。4.「地方」的形構是一個變動不羈的過程，更是一個動態的在地生活實踐。5.獨特的「地方」串聯成在地的特有生命力。6.匯集眾人的在地關懷，即可營造幸福家園。[[abstract]] Zhaoan Chu is an unknown remote countryside village, which is subordinate to Chia-Nan Plain – the most important warehouse in Taiwan. It locates in Pei-Wu Ley, Bai-Ho District, Tainan.
