Outline of Final Research Achievements

Community learning center foundation was established as a result of Government Ordinance Number 15, which dealt with property such as mountains and forests that districts before and during the war possessed but were no longer allowed to maintain. Thus, community learning center foundation was established through a process of ‘undercover’ management of district assets, it created a foundation of democratic social education practice, playing a substantial role in responding to community residents’ real life needs and goals. In the process of judging whether their own needs are met and whether the system guarantees improvements in their standard of living, residents choose whether to adopt the community learning center system and use it according to their own system of ethics; it is here that residents’ subjective, dynamic motivation to improve their own standards of living can be identified.
