1. Description of Our Community
Nowadays Er-kong was located in Jen De village Tainan County, composed by Jen Ai, Jen He and Cheng Gong villages. In the Japanese Colonial Period it was set for air force logistics supply and Servicemen families living. After KMT took back Taiwan, it retained Servicemen’s Residential Compounds and logistics function. The residents were mainly air force servicemen and most of them were from Sichuan and Hunan provinces. Until now, although the people still had troop’s characteristic, the branches of armed forces had not as simple as first generation; sea and land forces were included. The thing unchanged was the heavy Sichuan and Hunan accent which was a unique style that local and outside area residents kept for. Through a series of biding and coordinating conference preparation, Er-Kong new village reconstruction plan launched in November of Year 2007 operation broke ground ceremony. To see the demolition of constructions that accompanied you many years, the local residents felt strong sentiment to let go. Regarding future environment improvement and life style promotion, they had high expectation on it. It signified that Er-Kong area was going to have a new face and living space. The traditional Servicemen’ Residential Compounds tile roofs and the new buildings in Er-Kong new village appeared the different generation and culture.
2. Summary of Our Project
Y2007 was the year Er-Kong area changed fiercely. From that year, the whole Jen He village of Er-Kong area was almost laid flat. The replacement of the peaceful land was rumbling machine and huge truck that came and went frequently. It was planned to build several apartment houses with ten more stories after 3 years. The whole Er-Kong sky line and scene would have big transformation. There were a group of Er-Kong people keeping old friendships in mind. They could not reconcile themselves to see old memory gone so that they looked for available commodity in the remnant gravel and put them together. Therefore, the new construction carried on like a raging fire but the construction on the old tree in the park also carried on like a raging fire. A “dream come true Tree House” that was full of Er-Kong people memory was born by stacking piece by piece Jen He Elementary School Cyberfair team hoped to share this dream garden to public through the fair activity.

4. Problems We Had To Overcome
*1-1:Contacted during vacation Most of the Er-Kong Tree House project webpage interview contents engaged in visiting and activities therefore we needed more time to carry on interaction and following data uniform. When project activities proceeded to the rear process, the winter vacation that lasted for one more month came. The connection and assembly were easy to be affected by the Lunar New Year. Students needed to think and plan more to make activities smoothly.
*1-2How to overcome Interview team members needed to confirm with each other the important interview dates in the advanced meeting and emphasized contacting issue in vacation in order to get available activity dates that most of members were able to attend. Also thanks to students’ families allowed students to participate in this School Cyberfair related activities and tasks in winter vacation.
*2-1:Many of moving interaction, not easy to collect information The Er-Kong Tree House Project interview process was proceeded under the Tree House opening style environment. Usually Mr. Huang Ru Long brought us back and forth to visit Tree House nearby environment so that the writing recording method used in the past was not easy to carry on under such condition. It was not that safe and convenient to listen and write at the same time after all.
*2-2:How to overcome Before interview on the spot, the team would hold meeting to set up interview questions and directions. During the process they used sound recording pen to record the dialogs in order to make the following webpage writing and edition easy. Doing so made students more concentrate on the activity at the same time reminding students paid attention on safety problem at each corner.
5. Our Project Sound Bite
“Er-Kong” was facing rebuilt process presently. Old style houses were superseded by new style severely. The valuable seniors in the village were fallen gradually. Jen He Elementary School was not able to do many change, we only hoped that through our endeavor we could throw in more concern to Er-Kong area. The project topic “Er-Kong Tree House” was different from the topic that traditional Er-Kong buildings were facing demolition. On the contrary, it presented rich appearance day by day. Therefore, based on positive mood and kind conception Tree House spirit, we hoped we could share the excellence of E-Kong to everyone through interviews and activities.
