Abstract

Most of the past urban and rural planning or urban renewal design focused on land planning, or land communities involving waterfront space. However, in reality, there are water-faring communities (The Dan Jia Settlements) dating back to 7,000 years ago, most of which still lived away from the sea, or still take the houseboat as their home, with a few generations of the old living in the cabin; or they rely on the river bank embankment, planting wooden stakes to build up the trusses, placing bamboo rice as the top wall, laying wooden boards as ground mats, and covering the waters of the “(Vernacular) Pillar-Supported Dwelling” (Stilt Style Architecture) as a land-based residence for water work. This article focuses on the architectural form of the water-faring communities (The Dan Jia Settlements), and puts forward some current heritage protection measures and suggestions.
