Abstract
This is a case study of community development(CD) in Taiwan, and aims to clarify its issue. In this case, residents do not participate in CD plans, although they are successful. The result of the survey revealed 3 factors which obstruct participation; first, there is no leading person who can be totally at the head of the settlement although there are several leading persons, second, a conflict of concepts between community development’s leader and Christianity, and finally, a disagreement of an attitude to CD between the CD association & the local administration. We can say that the issue of this case is that residents have to develop their common consciousness using communication such as a chat in the life.
