綠野香坡農村發展協會是由西富國小校友返鄉成立的社區組織，與學校合作推動農村再生與環境教育。藉由西富國小校友的人脈與經驗凝聚村民共識，守護馬佛社區。 

該社區位於光復鄉，由在地村民共識凝聚，以「馬佛陶」柴燒工藝與蝙蝠生態保育為兩大發展亮點，成功營造出富含阿美族文化與農村特色的桃花源，經營成果顯著。 

馬佛社區發展特色：

馬佛陶 (fahol)： 社區與花蓮陶藝學會合作，利用海岸山脈的優質黏土，在老磚廠製作生活陶、阿美族陶壼與陶杯，形成在地品牌。

「有蝠」桃花源： 推動環境教育與蝙蝠生態保育，致力於守護農村自然生態。

農村再生： 馬佛社區於民國 100 年通過農村再生計畫，由校友與村民共同參與社區營造，為傳統農村注入新活力。

多元族群： 社區居民包含閩南、客家與阿美族人，族群相處融洽，人文風情多元。 

這群致力於農村發展的在地人，在馬佛活動中心（位於西富村）為核心，共同守護家

The Greenfield Fragrant Slope Rural Development Association is a community organization established by alumni of SiFu Primary School who returned to their hometown. In collaboration with the school, the association promotes rural revitalization and environmental education. Through the network and experience of Xifu Elementary School alumni, local residents have been brought together to build consensus and safeguard the Mafol community.

Located in Guangfu Township, the Mafol community has united local residents around shared goals. With wood-fired Mafol pottery craftsmanship and bat ecology conservation as its two key development highlights, the community has successfully created a “peach blossom paradise” rich in Amis cultural heritage and rural characteristics, achieving notable development outcomes.

Key Features of Mafol Community Development

Mafol Pottery (fahol)
In collaboration with the Hualien Ceramic Arts Association, the community utilizes high-quality clay from the Coastal Mountain Range. At a former brick factory, artisans produce daily-use pottery, Amis traditional ceramic pots, and cups, establishing a distinctive local brand.

“Bat-Friendly” Peach Blossom Paradise
The community promotes environmental education and bat conservation initiatives, dedicating efforts to protecting the natural rural ecosystem.

Rural Revitalization
In 2011 (ROC Year 100), the Mafol community passed the Rural Revitalization Program. Alumni and residents jointly participated in community-building initiatives, injecting new vitality into the traditional rural village.

Multicultural Community
Residents include Minnan, Hakka, and Amis peoples. The diverse groups coexist harmoniously, creating a rich and vibrant cultural landscape.

Centered around the Mafol Community Activity Center (located in Xifu Village), this group of dedicated local residents works collectively to preserve and sustain their hometown.

位於花蓮縣光復鄉的仁壽宮（又稱大農仁壽宮）是一座具有獨特「神蛇」信仰的道教廟宇。該廟由桃園大園移民王老瑞於民國 35 年（1946 年）創建，其主祀神明與香火多由桃園地區知名宮廟分靈而來。 

⛩️ 基本資訊

地址： 花蓮縣光復鄉大全村建國路一段 27 號

電話： 03-870-5615

主祀神明： 感天大帝（許遜，由桃園大園仁壽宮分靈）

配祀神明：

輔信王公（由桃園竹圍福海宮分靈）

玄壇元帥（武財神趙公明，由桃園南崁五福宮分靈）

玄天上帝 

🐍 廟宇特色：使者公（神蛇）信仰

仁壽宮最著名的特色是廟內供奉的「使者公」，即玄壇元帥座下的兵將（神蛇）。 

由來： 據傳神明安座不久，便有神蛇爬入供桌下，驅趕後仍數次返回。經神明降乩指示，該蛇為其部將，廟方遂在廟旁興建「使者洞」供其棲息。

靈驗事蹟： 地方信眾相信使者公能協助辦事、治病，特別是針對西醫較難處理的頑疾。信眾參拜時常會帶雞蛋供奉給使者公吃。

景觀： 廟宇後方為海岸山脈，據稱有「五龍穴」地勢，吸引許多全台信眾在蛇年或特定時節前往參拜。 

📖 歷史背景

創辦人王老瑞在日治時期從桃園搬遷至花蓮，最初將分靈神明的香火袋供奉於家中，後於民國 49 年由其子（現任主委王萬益）於住家旁興建宮廟。該廟不僅是當地居民的信仰中心，也承載了早期西部移民開墾東部的歷史記憶。 

Renshou Temple (also known as Danong Renshou Temple), located in Guangfu Township, Hualien County, is a Taoist temple distinguished by its unique belief in the “Divine Snake” (Messenger Lord). The temple was founded in 1946 (ROC Year 35) by Wang Laorui, a migrant from Dayuan, Taoyuan. The principal deity and sacred incense lineage were branched from well-known temples in the Taoyuan area.

⛩️ Basic Information

Address: No. 27, Section 1, Jianguo Road, Daquan Village, Guangfu Township, Hualien County, Taiwan
Telephone: +886-3-870-5615

Principal Deity:

• Emperor Gantian (Xu Xun) – incense lineage branched from Dayuan Renshou Temple, Taoyuan

Accompanying Deities:

• Fuxin Wang Gong – branched from Fuhai Temple, Zhuwei, Taoyuan

• Marshal Xuantan (Zhao Gongming, the Martial God of Wealth) – branched from Wufu Temple, Nankan, Taoyuan

• Xuantian Shangdi

🐍 Temple Feature: Faith in the Messenger Lord (Divine Snake)

The most distinctive feature of Renshou Temple is the worship of the “Messenger Lord”, regarded as a divine serpent serving under Marshal Xuantan.

Origin
According to local accounts, shortly after the deity was enshrined, a snake repeatedly appeared beneath the offering table. Even after being driven away, it continued to return. Through spirit-medium divination, the deity revealed that the snake was one of his divine generals. The temple subsequently constructed a “Messenger Cave” beside the temple as its dwelling place.

Spiritual Significance
Local devotees believe the Messenger Lord assists in resolving personal matters and healing illnesses, particularly chronic conditions that are considered difficult to treat through Western medicine. Worshippers often bring eggs as offerings for the divine serpent.

Landscape and Geomancy
The temple is backed by the Coastal Mountain Range, and the terrain is traditionally described as forming the auspicious “Five Dragon Veins”, attracting devotees from across Taiwan, especially during the Year of the Snake or important ritual periods.

📖 Historical Background

Founder Wang Laorui migrated from Taoyuan to Hualien during the Japanese colonial period. Initially, the sacred incense pouch of the branched deity was worshipped at his residence. In 1960 (ROC Year 49), his son Wang Wanyi (current chairman) constructed the temple beside the family home.

Today, the temple serves not only as a center of local religious life but also as a cultural testament to the history of western Taiwan migrants who settled and cultivated eastern Taiwan.

一、實驗灘地位置與環境背景

本研究的實驗灘地位於花蓮縣光復鄉的馬佛溪河川旁，是由河水沖積形成的沙地。這種環境會受到下雨、河水流動及泥沙堆積的影響，因此地形與植物生長情況常會改變，屬於變化較大的生態環境。

近年來，外來植物銀合歡在灘地大量生長，影響原本的植物生存空間，也改變了原有的生態平衡。因此，本研究選擇這個灘地作為研究地點，希望了解如何幫助原生植物恢復生長。

二、實驗灘地的研究時間

這個實驗灘地已經持續觀察和研究大約四年。在這段時間中，我們進行外來種移除、種植原生植物，以及觀察植物的生長變化。

透過長時間的觀察，可以更了解植物如何慢慢恢復，也可以找出比較適合灘地的復育方式。

三、實驗灘地分區方式

為了比較不同方法對植物生長的影響，我們在實驗灘地中劃分出五個區域（A到E區），每個區域採用不同的處理方式。

區域 面積 處理方式 目的

A區 15 × 15 公尺 種植＋補種 觀察補種效果

B區 10 × 10 公尺 種植＋補種 找出較好的生長條件

C區 15 × 15 公尺 種植＋補種 測試較差環境

D區 10 × 10 公尺 只種植 作為比較

E區 10 × 10 公尺 不處理 觀察自然生長

透過這樣的比較，可以了解補種植物是否真的有幫助。

四、實驗灘地的復育方式

本研究在灘地採用孔隙造林法，也就是只在部分地方挖洞種樹，保留原本的植物，減少對環境的影響。

我們種植的植物包括：

黃荊

台灣天仙果

軟毛柿

魯花樹

這些都是台灣原生植物，比較適合在當地生長，也有助於恢復自然生態。

五、實驗灘地的觀察項目

在研究期間，我們持續觀察植物的生長情況，包括：

植物存活的比例

樹木的高度與粗細

植物種類的多樣性

新長出的幼苗數量

植物分布的變化

透過這些資料，可以了解灘地是否慢慢恢復健康。

六、實驗灘地的研究結果

研究結果發現，在有進行補種的區域，植物存活率明顯提高：

A區：41% 提高到 84%

B區：68% 提高到 88%

C區：40% 提高到 76%

這表示適當的人工幫助，可以讓植物長得更好，也能讓灘地的生態更穩定。

1. Location and Background of the Experimental Sandbar

The experimental sandbar is located along the Mafu River in Guangfu Township, Hualien County, Taiwan. The sandbar was formed by river sediments carried by flowing water. Because rainfall, river flow, and sediment movement often change, the environment is dynamic and always changing.

In recent years, an invasive plant called Leucaena leucocephala has spread quickly in the sandbar. It takes up space and affects the growth of native plants. Therefore, this sandbar was chosen as the research site to study how native plants can recover.

2. Research Duration of the Experimental Sandbar

This experimental sandbar has been studied for about four years. During this time, we removed invasive plants, planted native species, and observed how the vegetation changed.

Long-term observation helps us understand how plants recover and which restoration methods are more effective.

3. Plot Design of the Experimental Sandbar

To compare different restoration methods, the sandbar was divided into five plots (Plots A–E). Each plot received a different treatment.

Plot Area Treatment Purpose

Plot A 15 × 15 m planting + replanting observe replanting effects

Plot B 10 × 10 m planting + replanting find better growing conditions

Plot C 15 × 15 m planting + replanting test poorer habitat

Plot D 10 × 10 m planting only comparison group

Plot E 10 × 10 m no treatment natural growth observation

This design helps us understand whether replanting improves plant survival.

4. Restoration Method of the Experimental Sandbar

We used the gap planting method, which means planting trees only in small patches while keeping existing plants. This reduces damage to the environment.

The native plants used in this study include:

Vitex negundo

Ficus formosana

Diospyros eriantha

Lagerstroemia subcostata

These plants are suitable for local conditions and help restore the ecosystem.

5. Observation Items

During the study, we observed:

plant survival rate

tree height and thickness

diversity of plant species

number of new seedlings

vegetation distribution changes

These observations help us understand whether the sandbar ecosystem is recovering.

6. Results of the Experimental Sandbar

The results show that plots with replanting had higher survival rates:

Plot A increased from 41% to 84%

Plot B increased from 68% to 88%

Plot C increased from 40% to 76%

This shows that proper human help can improve plant growth and make the sandbar ecosystem more stable.
