FEATURE: Aboriginal community resists call to relocate
AFFORDABILITY? : Taipei County had built 150 apartments to relocate a community living along a riverbank, but some could not bear to leave the land or afford the rent

"My father is unemployed. One of my brothers is doing military service, while the others are still in school. I have four children to feed, and my husband is in prison. There's practically no one making money in this family -- how are we supposed to pay NT$6,000 in rent?"
Lu Mei-hua, a resident of Sanying Aboriginal Community
With fear in her eyes, Lu Mei-hua (呂美華), a resident of Sanying Aboriginal Community (三鶯部落), sat in front of her home on Thursday, after the Taipei County Government's demolition team tore down several homes in the community on Monday.
"When they [the demolition team] were taking down my neighbors' houses, I was so afraid they would tear down my home as well -- like they did many times in the past," Lu said, as she watched her three daughters playing.
After posting a notice on Feb. 14 asking all residents to leave their homes within three days, the county government sent a team on Monday to tear down the first batch of houses, most of which were left vacant after the residents moved out.
"This is classified as a flood area, and the law prohibits anyone from living here," said Wu Chen-sheng (吳振聲), a county Indigenous Peoples Bureau (IPB) official. "We're just following orders on demolishing illegal constructions."
The community is located on the east bank of Dahan River (大漢溪) near Sanying Bridge (三鶯大橋) that connects Sansia (三峽) and Yingge (鶯歌) townships.
Most of the residents are Amis Aborigines who moved to Taipei to work as coalminers or construction workers decades ago, and their descendants.
Unable to afford housing in the city, the Amis have settled and built their homes along the riverbank in Sanying, using abandoned wooden boards, canvas, tin sheets and other materials.
"My father-in-law has been living here since he worked as a miner at the Haishan Coal mine [海山煤礦] before the explosion, and this is where I met my husband," said Chang Hsiu-yi (張秀儀), a resident who discovered her house had been flattened when she returned from work on Monday.
The Haishan Coalmine was the second-most productive mine in the country before it was closed in 1989. The explosion Chang mentioned occurred in 1984, killing 74 miners, mostly Amis.
The county government has built apartments to help residents living in flood areas relocate.
"We conducted a census in 2002 on five Aboriginal communities that were illegally staying in flood areas along the riverbanks," Wu said.
"We found that 133 households would need housing after their homes on the riverbank were demolished," Wu said.
new apartments
To solve the problem, the county government had built 150 apartments in Sansia, he said.
"In the 2002 census, we recorded 25 households in Sanying Community ... 15 of them have already moved into the new apartments," IPB chief secretary Yang Cheng-pin (楊正斌) told the Taipei Times by telephone.
However, nine more households moved into the community after the census, and thus were not registered. The problem now is finding shelter for "unregistered" households.
"We'll see what we can do and try to solve the problem before May," Wu said. "
"We'll have the 133 registered households move into the apartments first, and then we can consider having others move into the apartments if there are vacancies," he said.
After the first demolition on Monday, those who remained in the community were asked to sign an agreement volunteering to move out so that the houses could be torn down before the end of the month.
A number of households signed the agreement, but others did not.
Pan Chin-hua (潘金花), who did not sign the agreement, is one of the "unregistered" residents.
Without prior notice, the demolition team -- escorted by nearly 70 police officers, according to police sources -- moved into the community again.
Pan, who sat on a stool in front of her home in an attempt to block the demolition, was forcibly removed by police. A hydraulic shovel then came in, and Pan's house was demolished in less than five minutes despite Pan and her daughter's tears and pleadings.
"Where am I going to stay? I don't qualify for an apartment," Pan cried.
"We're just carrying out our superior's order. There's nothing we can do to help," a county Water Resource Bureau official, who declined to be named, told Pan.
"You didn't sign the agreement, so we can only [demolish your house]," said another bureau official, who also refused to give his name.
However, some of the "registered" residents, who are qualified to move into the apartments, said they cannot afford the move.
rent
"Of course we'd love to move into an apartment if we could afford it -- who wouldn't?" Lu said.
Lu lives with his father, four brothers and her four children, including one who is less than a month old.
"My father is unemployed. One of my brothers is doing military service, while the others are still in school. I have four children to feed, and my husband is in prison," Lu said. "There's practically no one making money in this family -- how are we supposed to pay NT$6,000 in rent?"
According to the IPB, a family of six to seven can move into a three-bedroom apartment that rents for NT$6,048 a month, while a family of three to five can get a two-bedroom apartment for NT$4,536 and a family of two can get a one-bedroom unit for NT$2,267. Single people have to share an apartment with others.
Aside from rent, they have to pay utility bills.
During the interview, Lu's brother, who is attending junior high school, came home for lunch. He made a bowl of instant noodles, ate half of it and passed it around for other members of the family to share.
"My father built our home himself. It's not a perfect place to live in, it leaks when it rains, but it's still our home," Lu said. "We really don't have money. I don't know where we will go if they tear down our house."
"Of course you have to pay rent if you want to live in an apartment. Not only have we offered the apartments at a discount, but we have also waived the maintenance fee," Yang told the Taipei Times when asked if the IPB has any plans to help those who qualify for apartments but can't afford them.
"If they really don't have money, they can apply for low-income family compensation from the Social Affairs Bureau," Yang said.
破觀點
文／郭安家
周錫瑋又一次拆窮人的房子，這次不以拼捷運之名，而是水利法78條、92之三、93之四。2月18日上午10點，縣府水利局、工程人員、警察大隊人馬來到三鶯橋下行水區阿美族部落，原本應該拆除無人居住的木造卻「順便」拆了一間尚未搬去新安置國宅的林太太，親眼見到家園被拆族人激憤落淚並引發衝突。稍後來到現場的原住民立委陳瑩與立委林正二介入後，拆遷大隊才暫時離開但並未告知下次拆遷日期。
縣府沒有正式拆遷計畫與正式水利報告，僅2月14日行拆遷公告，限期三天內自行拆除家園否則房舍將視為廢棄物並開罰六十萬至三百萬元。2月15日溪州部落與三鶯橋下部落族15到20人緊急前往縣政府陳情，希望不要拆掉位於行水區的房舍，原民會主秘楊正斌將族人請到會議室談判。
三鶯部落的問題並非「政府蓋新大樓，行水區族人不願搬」的簡單邏輯，因為能搬去新國宅的族人必須具有90年以前登記門牌的資格，並且是低收入戶；在三鶯部落至少有十戶不符合這資格。新國宅住宿費用過高，依房間大小加上停車費、水電費，一戶一個月必須多支付四千到一萬不等，這對以打零工維生的阿美族人是沉重負擔。
失敗的安置國宅政策有以下三種問題，搬進去的經濟壓力變大、有人想搬卻搬不進去、不想搬的卻被威脅要搬。三鶯頭目林阿則龍說，當初他們只有拿立面圖給我們看，我們從來不知道國宅長什麼樣；而且說明會我有問他(原民局)三年簽一次約代表什麼，原民局自己也不知道會不會改價格，那時候我們提很多東西但他們都不甩，他們就認為你再不聽就強制執行，我們原住民跟狗一樣沒有尊嚴。無視這些矛盾，縣府對外界唯一回應僅：行水區違法不安全。然而，水利局至今沒有正式水利調查報告，縣府寧可蓋國宅收租營利卻不想為新店溪、大漢溪上的四個部落蓋堤防保護家園。
15日縣府陳情會議族人都提出這些質疑，但兩造無具體結論，原民局僅口頭承諾先拆已搬到三峽隆恩埔文化安置部落的房戶。原本，族人以為暫緩拆遷並於17日在溪州部落開會商討對策，誰知，隔天上被暴力拆屋。目前最新消息是，19日縣府仍派人四處威脅族人簽自行拆除切結書，切結書上規定住戶縣府下次來拆除決無異議。目前，已有三戶在不知完全情況下簽署，但也有族人開始重新搭造房屋。北縣都市原住民住宅政策充滿暴力，誰說政府安置國宅的美意，溪州部落不領情。

由於事出突然，聲援三鶯部落的團體動員不及，現場只有青年樂生聯盟、溪州自救會約十餘人前往關切，但在強力警力的運作下，剩下未簽署切結書的十餘戶居民 的家園，截至五點鐘為止，已經被夷為平地。面對迅雷不及掩耳強勢拆遷動作，居民們根本來不及收拾家裡面的器物，三鶯部落居民有許多年事已高、家裡缺乏年 輕人幫助，而頓失所依的住戶們，如何度過這幾天一入夜氣溫就要驟降的晚上，這實在令人擔憂。

周縣長開鍘，縣府怪手強拆三鶯部落 阿美族人：我們只要就地居住！
四天前（2月14日）三鶯部落的居民才收到限期三天的拆遷公告，今天上班日縣政府隨即在上午出現在三鶯橋下，連同優勢警力與拆除機具迅速拆除六戶住 戶的房屋，其中五戶已搬去隆恩埔原住民國宅，但是還有一戶住在裡面的居民全家被警方架離，親眼目睹推土機將家園剷平。後來在原住民民意代表的協調下縣府暫 緩了拆除行動，三鶯居民也召開記者會強調只想原地續住的心聲，但縣政府只同意暫時緩拆，並未給予任何具體的安置承諾。

2月14日，三鶯部落收到公文，要求必須在三天內自行拆除，否則將處罰最高三百萬的罰金；隔日，三鶯部落到台北縣原民局陳情，族人氣憤地說：「你叫我們到哪裡去！」由於三鶯部落十一戶族人不符合原民局入住國宅資格：「照顧本縣其他低收入戶、中低收入戶原住民家庭需求，可進住人口計算以輔導接電當時設籍之現住戶人口為基本對象」，但拆除後的原住民將何去何從？原民局主秘楊正斌說：「我們幫忙原住民，不是每一個原住民都幫，一些家庭狀況比較不錯的，我們就不需要幫忙，漢人都有低收入戶，漢人也有王永慶，原住民也有狀況好的，原住民也有狀況比較不好的。」
國宅的封閉設計本身就有問題，現在連入住資格都限制重重，中低收入戶資格是需要去申請的，但並不代表沒有去申請就不是中低收入戶，只是因為行政文書資訊的缺乏，老人家使用母語作溝通，而且家都被拆了，她的經濟狀況不會大受影響嗎？就算符合中低收入戶資格，也因為戶數及空間限制，無法進駐。楊正斌用「王永慶」之類的話，更是不懂得人生疾苦的談話。另外曾設籍輔導接電才能進駐，但是設籍接電是政治人物為了選舉的支票，使得部份的人有電可用。國宅安置計畫的選擇性排擠，使得這些因為原鄉工作難找，遷徙到台北建立部落的族人，又要再度流離失所。
2月18日，趁著族人送小孩上學的時間，動用強勢警力及怪手，企圖將三鶯夷為平地，ina（媽媽）激動地用母語泣訴：「我們住這邊，也沒有怎麼樣，我們好好的住，為什麼打掉我們的房子，我們在這邊習慣了，還要我們到那裡去」，沒有家就跟沒有食物跟水一樣，基本需求居住權都被剝奪了，如何去實現自我？如何去尋找安全、愛與民族歸屬感？
面對台北三鶯、溪洲、小碧潭、北二高部落，政府只會拆遷，安置於由上而下設計的門鎖國宅，而不去思考「就地居住」提供保留地的可能，政府應比照社子島，透過技術防洪，保障部落人民的居住權，不要雙重標準，只保障部落鄰近砂石場、工廠、高爾夫球場，尤其是選票多、有利可圖的可開發地。
三鶯部落拆遷，凸顯政府不為人民著想，只會依法行政的安置計畫，政府不可能以國宅徹底解決都市原住民居住的問題，政府必須排除萬難，重新省思原住民「就地居住」的可能，還給原住民土地及尊嚴，人民面對政府的暴力拆遷，必須團結起來，捍衛我們的家園。

溪洲部落的問題還沒解決，北縣政府，即將對另一個都市原住民聚落動手。北縣三鶯都原部落，昨天北縣政府張貼公告，要求三天內搬遷，否則將開罰300萬元。今天仍居住在三鶯部落的原住民約20人，至北縣原民局陳情，要求暫緩強制搬遷。
北縣政府在去年開始針對縣內座落於行水區的部落要求搬遷，三鶯部落絕大部分居民在無奈下選擇搬入隆恩埔原民出租國宅。現今仍居住在三鶯部落的原住民，約有7戶，是因為在登記期內未登記，而無資格居住於隆恩埔住宅，而等待政府安置繼續居住於三鶯大橋下的部落。
昨天三鶯部落居民接到北縣府公告，以水利法要求於三日內搬遷，否則將強制執行並處60至300萬元罰鍰。今天三鶯部落居民約20人即至台北縣原住民行政局陳情，要求給予搬遷至隆恩埔國宅的資格或就地居住。
原民局由主秘楊正斌接見，未承諾三鶯部落的訴求，只同意與北縣府協商，評估是否能予以緩拆。
事實上，現有三鶯部落居民搬入隆恩埔國宅後，雖然國宅位於三鶯部落附近，對族人的就業和就學衝擊較小，但仍困擾於被要求繳交許多租金、水電瓦斯等押金，此外，在國宅居住兩年後，也會被迫搬遷，自行尋屋。而仍居住在三鶯部落的居民，則連搬至國宅的資格都沒有，一旦北縣府強制拆除，即將連落腳的地方都沒有。
