Beyond Visitor Traffic | How “Indigenous Vitality” Is Helping Us Learn to Build Digital Bridges for Slow Places
An interview with Alian Radio gave us an opportunity to ask a more difficult question: what does digital local collaboration actually change? For PLUWFUN, success does not mean every participating business immediately receives a transaction. It means visitor behavior, business feedback and real-world participation begin to reveal how a place actually works—allowing us to redesign the next iteration with better evidence. This is part of the Slow Place approach we are gradually testing in Fuxing.

From Fuxing to the World｜Building Digital Infrastructure for a Rural Community to Operate on Its Own Terms

In Fuxing District, Taiwan, Mr. Flying Squirrel and PLUWFUN are testing something broader: whether a mountain community can gradually build its own relationships, local market, youth capability, data infrastructure and international connections. This is not a finished success story. It is a story in progress.
