Space and power mutually construct each other. Revealing the power relations behind space, and inspiring spatial practices to change unjust power dynamics is a key task of legal geography. This study aims to explore the structural causes of confusion and dissatisfaction in Indigenous communities in Taiwan during the implementation of the National Spatial Planning Act, particularly regarding the designation of Category 4 of Agricultural Zone. Adopting the methods of archival research, case studies, and participant observation, the analysis identifies several gaps in the process of zoning operation in indigenous areas. These gaps fundamentally arise from the conflicting spatial-chronological reference frameworks between the administrative logic of the bureaucratic system and the Indigenous communities. Although the National Spatial Planning Act highlights“the preservation of Indigenous peoples’traditional cultures, territories, and wisdom, and the establishment of mutually beneficial mechanisms”, the re-enforcement of administrative logic during implementation still leaves Indigenous perspectives at a disadvantage. In the end, this study provides recommendations for better realizing the spirit of Indigenous planning. |
