Abstract
Surveying the total community design in Taiwan, we find out its characteristics; (1) from old street preservation to total community design, (2) from minority race to Han race, (3) from country to city, (4) from central government to local government, (5) from handicraft industry to handicraft culture, (6) from production-oriented agricultural cooperative association to culture-oriented association. In all of the characteristics regional culture rehabilitation is a common denominator. For the activation of region, it is necessary to consider culture rehabilitation from basic concepts; (1) the careful examination about people's living will influence the regional culture rehabilitation, (2) only through the execution of people's effort can cultivate love of country, (3) regional culture rehabilitation means not only to recover traditional culture but also concern creation of culture based on regional nature, human being, technology and its history.
