碩士 === 國立成功大學 === 建築(工程)學系 === 86 === Title of thesis : A Social Observation for the Rebuilt Process of a Local Temple As an Example of the Guan-Di Temple in Tainan By： Po-Wei Cheng June 1998,Tainan Supervisor : Min-Fu Hsu A dissertation submitted to The National Chen-Kung University of the degree of Master of The Department of Architecture Keyword : Law，Adapted Committee，Construction structure of temple， Adherents Participation，Opinion of the idol Abstract Most traditional architectural literature puts emphasis on "form" or "space" issues but rarely mansions about the decision-making way of pre-adaptation plan and design. However, as the transition of the modern society, the search of the constructional plan of the temple and the decision-making process during design stage plays a more and more important part. The intention of this thesis is to analyze how the temple-building process relates to its surrounding environment via observing the temple-rebuilding process from original plan, blueprint-design to construction, which helps to possessing the bridge between temples and local social culture. First, we talk about the role which "Guan-di temple" plays in local society; by observing the correlation of " Guan-di temple " with local residents 、the composition of adherents and the daily operation of " Guan-di temple ", we can clarify the part which " Guan-di temple " plays. As the transition of the surrounding environment, the "adaptation" issue came to " Guan- di temple ". Through the negotiation and operation of the administrative organization, many problems such as the integration of adherents'''' opinions, the source of expenditure, the limitation of the regulation and etc. were figured out one by one. And moreover the adapted committee which was in charge of the adaptation affairs mainly including the hiring of craftsmen、the purchase of the material and fund-raising activities was established. Because during the construction stage there was a direct correlation between the construction structure and the post- adapted results, the adaptation committee applied several methods like carefully hiring craftsmen, controlling the materials, and providing the details of construction to control building quality. Besides, the chief, was responsible to communication between the administrative organization and the construction structure and also plays multi-positions such as the adaptation committeeman, the designer and etc.. As far as the essentiality of temple-adaptation, adherents could afford to participate in the temper-adaptation process by donating money, epigraphs or inscription ; the opinion of the idol which resulted from the adherents'''' considerate mind exploited a huge influence. Only under the interaction between the administrative organization and the construction structure as well as the adherents'''' support could the temple-adaptation project be finished as expected. It is only after full-scale observing the temple-building process that we can thoroughly comprehend the logic to temple-building as well as its presentation of the local feature. Hope by this real case, my study can provide some references in such aspect as the policy-making and technology of temple antiquity preservation.
