Our article reviews the theses and dissertations of the rural planning field in the Graduate Institute of Building and Planning (BP in short) and suggests future directions and opportunities for the rural planning research and education in Taiwan. Ever since it first founded in 1976, the BP planning curricula and pedagogy established to form the perspectives of urban-centric mindsets. During that time, the Taiwanese society has been experiencing with the era of rapid urban urbanization between the 1970s and 1980s. Rural studies, however, submerged under the regional and city development spheres with only ambiguous roles. Notwithstanding, more or fewer postgraduates have been engaging in rural research and practice as their commitments and providing political and economic-based perspectives. This article, we first analyze the context influencing rural studies in BP that motivate and incubate BP rural studies. Secondly, based on our analysis, we conceptualize the dissertations of Taiwan rural studies in BP into seven topics to unearth the methodological and analytic features of how students doing rural studies in BP. In conclusion, we propose a pedagogical framework that integrates intellectual texts with practical workshops to nourish new ruralism planning training in BP. |
