[Objective] The new progress of soil and water conservation researches and the current status of rural place creation in Taiwan from 2010 to 2019 were summarized in order to discuss the natural engineering design concepts and guidelines suitable for the environmental conditions of hillsides

to serve the social and economic revitalization of rural areas

and to provide references for related researches and similar area development.[Methods] By comprehensively combing through relevant research literature published mainly in the past 10 years

sorting out many ideas

and summarizing the results according to some relevant surveys

new research content on the core issues of Taiwan's ecological engineering and soil and water conservation science

as well asrural regeneration and place creation progress were reviewed in detail.[Results] Rural place creation should focus on community growth

adhere to both hardware and software construction

and incorporate these projects into local governments' joint implementation strategies to expand participation and cooperation mechanisms. Soil and water conservation can create a good ecological environment for the countryside and is fundamental work in rural place creation. Policies to promote place creation

plan for college students to travel back to the countryside

soil and water conservation

and ecological engineering implementation are important guarantees for rural place creation and regional ecological security.[Conclusion] By advocating green lifestyles

enhancing the public's awareness of autonomous disaster prevention

constructing a strategic layout for green development

advancing industrial ecology and eco-industrialization

and implementing rural regeneration strategies

will effectively promote the rural place creation.
