Village (Taiwan)
Villages are the basic level administrative subdivisions of the Republic of China, under townships, county-administered cities or districts.[1] The history of villages in Taiwan could date back to the Hoko system in the Japanese era, which ho (保) changed into village after the Republic of China ruled Taiwan.The formation of a village helps divide areas into considerations for transportation and city planning.The formation of the village and its size depend largely on the county it is located in or the population nature of the local area.The head of a village holds responsibility to initiate and hold meetings, handout certificates of various sorts, encourage bill payments and assist filling out of government documents if required.
