This project aims to analyse the impact of historical policies at different times on the spatial transformation of the Dan Jia fishing raft settlement, as well as their influence on the contemporary production and lifestyle practices of the Dan Jia people. Visual output is created through StoryMaps to build a narrative website documenting the previously unknown water-based community at Dan Jia (疍家) and the story that intertwines their living, production and growing environment.
