Kansai Mawudokku is located in the eastern mountainous area of ​​Kansai Town, on the outskirts of the countryside. From the post-war period to the 1960s, it was a major cement mining town that extracted limestone. In the 1970s, due to the rise of environmental awareness, the mining industry moved eastward. Fortunately, in 2016, mining rights were suspended, but the future livelihood issues of local residents have become another challenge that must be faced.

As the area is a shallow mountainous region on the western foothills of the Yushan Mountain Range and in the upstream valley of Fengshan Creek, in the morning mist and fog linger between the mountains and valleys, agriculture in the past mainly relied on black tea, citrus fruits, and ginger. Due to the large temperature difference between day and night, the weather is suitable for planting coffee beans, which have been rated as premium quality by coffee experts. In 2020, the Jinshan Community Development Association established the Waterfront Mawudokku Coffee House and the following year set up a coffee cooperative to help coffee farmers improve their cultivation and processing techniques, aiming to revitalize the livelihoods of local residents through the local coffee industry and find a balance between environmental sustainability and industrial development.

Currently, to address the local industry gap, population outflow, and aging issues in the community, the project team uses "design thinking" and "project implementation" as drivers to link the local development needs of the Mawudokku area. Through the platform mechanism of the Mawudokku Coffee Cooperative, they connect industry, technology (such as using electronic noses to assist in coffee fermentation), culture (exploring organic cultural assets to drive local revitalization), welfare (church revitalization projects), and other stakeholders with their corresponding action plans and results.
