農村社區更新是一項高度複雜並且是艱巨的任務，同時也是一項長期性而任重而道遠的工作，吾人不應以為短期間即會有顯著的成果，而是需要有長期的耐性。它需要一段慎密的研討過程與妥善的規劃，廣泛的去瞭解及滿足村民對農村發展的種種要求。因此，如何「喚醒民眾」，結合村莊的資源與民間的力量，落實「村民參與」農村規劃，更為農村社區更新成功與否的關鍵。使農村社區更新確實迎合社會經濟結構的變遷，以及農村角色多元化的需求來進行，使農村的工作環境、聚落發展、村民的活動空間與村莊社會文化活動的需要，均能符合村民以及變遷中社會對農村的要求。 總而言之，透過廣泛的「村民參與」以及週延的農村社區更新計畫，希望能夠使長久以來被遺忘了的農村特質與價值及鄉土文化等，重新得到社會大眾應有的認識與肯定，農村特有的活力與生氣盎然之景象可以持續，村民也能重拾其對「家鄉」的認同感與歸屬感；使村民能夠以其村莊為榮，並且以能夠居住及生活其間為傲。

Village renewal is a highly complicated and difficult task as well as a protracted and heavy job. We need to have long-term patience instead of expecting obvious results in a short period of time. A process of meticulous study and proper planning are required to meet various demands from villagers on village development. Therefore, how to “arouse people”, integrate village resources with people's force and implement “citizen participation” in rural planning is the key to the success of village renewal. Village renewal is expected to meet the changes of the social and economic structure according to multi-polar roles of the rural village, making the rural working environment, community development, villager space in everyday life as well as social and cultural activities meet the demands of villagers and the changing society on the rural village. In summarize, the rural features and values of folk culture can be understood and affirmed through the extension of citizen participation and the plan for village renewal. In this way, the unique rural vitality and vigor can continue and that villagers can recognize their “hometowns” and attach their affections to them once again, making villagers feel honored with their villages and take pride in living in them.
