Introduction 
  
    Since the “Community Infrastructure Establishment” was launched by the Council for Cultural Affairs, Executive Yuan, Taipei County has nurtured residents’ “community awareness”, and enthusiastically undertaken the promotion of the aforementioned master plan, community seed development and guidance on community development. The efforts have gained the spontaneous support of the people, invigorated local cultural traditions and improved the quality of life in the communities.
　　
     The dedication made by community partners in the county is manifested in the achievements in the community development of Taipei County and the rapid community growth. All the success can be attributed to community seed development. Through workshops, the master plan is promoted and community development experiences are shared.
