​​​Historical and Social Research of Mo Tat Wan, Lamma Island ​

圖片
Lamma Island is one of the first places in Hong Kong with recorded prehistoric human activity.  However the island’s recent history, especially through the colonial period and Hong Kong’s post-war modernization, has not been comprehensively documented.  There is also a lack of academic research to account for the emergence of the diverse nature of the island’s population.  The aim of this research is not only to update historical knowledge, but also to promote social inclusion, strengthen intergenerational communication, and lay the foundation for sustainable development.  The project will focus on Mo Tat Wan in southern Lamma Island, and describe its changes over the past 100 years. Mo Tat Wan’s population is currently about 100.  Apart from the original Chow and Chan clans, there are also Hong Kong Chinese and expatriate residents, as well as domestic helpers from the Philippines and Indonesia.  The project records their past and current lifestyles that illustrates the interaction between Hong Kong and the World.   Another feature of the plan is that the villagers participate in the research, so that their knowledge and experience can be passed on.  The research results focus on giving back to the community to enhance the sense of belonging of the different ethnic groups; then exchange and share the findings with academia and the wider community.  Deliverables include guided tours and a bilingual publication. ​
