This project focuses on the case of the red-light district in Makung, Penghu. Its aim is to establish a geospatial and household (de-identified) database of the district and utilize digital storytelling and visualizations to present case studies and personal narratives. There are four main objectives:

1. Changes in geospatial and household registration: Present the geographical information comparing the relocation of the district with its past, including the migration routes of amusement operators and workers.

2. Household database: Provide social attributes and relationship data of households after de-identifying personal names, including native place, age, occupation, and relationships. 

3. Social network of district operators: Analyze the social network through the movement of residents among households.

4. Stories from the district: Document representative cases, such as the longest-serving practitioner, the most frequent relocator, individuals who left the profession, and groups of deceased illegitimate children. 

Through these objectives, the research perspective shifts from institutional bureaucracy to the life histories of the underprivileged from the middle and lower classes. Upper-class district operators ventured to Penghu from higher social strata, enriched themselves through sex trade, and some even established family businesses, bringing their families along. On the other hand, lower-class sex workers sought survival by navigating between various operators. Only a small number managed to leave the industry through marriage relationships (concubines or marriage-based citizenship) or career transitions, while many faced tragic circumstances. It was common for sex workers to die after giving birth to illegitimate children, and infant mortality was prevalent. These undisclosed personal and collective experiences aim to be showcased in new ways through this digital humanities project.
