貴子坑水土保持教學園區之環境教育推廣及生態資源調查計畫

從古鑑今推廣水土保持觀念

貴子坑地區位於臺北市北投區復興崗後面的山麓地帶，從清朝開始，便被長期大量開採砂岩與白瓷土，地表因而嚴重破壞，水土保持不良。

 

民國66年薇拉颱風侵襲，造成貴子坑溪下游面臨嚴重土石流災害，故臺北市政府開始禁止開採瓷土礦，並於民國83年設置水土保持教學園區，以各項水土保持工程、植栽格樑等方式，逐步恢復土地原貌，更讓園區成為觀摩、宣導、教學水土保持觀念的重要場域。

 

於民國103至105年開始針對貴子坑水土保持園區與周邊人文與環境特色設計課程，並辦理許多環境教育活動，希望藉由環境教育活動傳達水土保持和環境保護重要性與概念。

 

整合生態調查及環境教育

為讓更多民眾藉由貴子坑的歷程，看見人與自然互動的結果，本團隊持續編修環境教育教案、設計教具，並彙整歷年環境教育成果與場域資料，申請環境教育設施場所認證，且根據貴子坑人文與自然特色製作多媒體影片。

 

為更能具體了解貴子坑的生態狀況，本團隊亦針對園區與周邊步道進行生態資源調查，並以此為環境教育之素材，研擬貴子坑自然生態保育策略與園區經營管理建議。

The unique history of the Guizikeng Soil and Water Conservation Outdoor Classrooms has made it an excellent model for environmental education facilities and venues. This project promotes soil and water conservation through various environmental education activities.

 

Promotion of soil and water conservation from history

Guizikeng is located at the foothills behind Fuxinggang, Beitou District, Taipei City. Since the Qing Dynasty, the region has been extensively mined for sandstone and white porcelain clay, thereby causing considerable damage to the region’s surface, which lead to poor conditions of the soil and water.

 

In 1977, the Vera typhoon in Taiwan caused major landslides in the downstream of the Guizikeng river. Therefore, the Taipei City Government set up regulations to prohibit the mining of porcelain clay as well as using various soil and water conservation approaches such as plant maintenance, gird type slope protection, etc., in order to gradually restored the original landscape of Guizikeng.

 

The Soil and Water Conservation Outdoor Classrooms launched in 1983 which has become an important location for viewing, promoting and educating the public on the concept of soil and water conservation.

 

From 2014 to 2016, the Guizikeng Soil and Water Outdoor Classrooms began to design specific environmental education courses that encompasses the unique environmental features and neighboring local history, in order to promote the importance of soil and water conservation and environmental protection.

 

The integration of ecological surveys and environmental education

In order to allow more people to understand the interaction between human and nature via the history of Guizikeng, our team improved the environmental education courses, and designed new teaching tools, as well as assisting Guizikeng Soil and Water Outdoor Classrooms in applying for the Certification of Environmental Education Facilities and Venues by collecting past environmental education achievements and field materials for the application process. We also produced multimedia films based on the history and natural features of Guizikeng.

 

To better understand the ecological status of Guizikeng, our team conducted ecological surveys on the surrounding area and trails, and the information was incorporated into the environmental education courses as well as provide recommendations and strategy for the management and conservation of the natural environment of Guizikeng.
