Abstract (in English)

Jianan Irrigation System, built in 1920 by the Japanese Colonial Government, had become the most important irrigation system in southern Taiwan since its completion. More than 150,000 hectares dry farmland which could only depend on rain falls in the past had been transformed into productive paddy fields. The operation systems and the management organization still function today. It would be considered as an organically evolved cultural landscape because of the ensemble of facilities, organization, operation systems, and the agricultural landscape created and transformed due to the irrigation system. Jianan Irrigation System had been registered as a legal cultural landscape of Taiwan in 2009. This paper will discuss the possible sustainable development in the irrigation system, and its related field.
