Study of this thesis focuses mainly on the Taiwan hot spring architecture over the Japanese ruling period. Taken from the fifty years (1895-1945) during which Taiwan was a Japanese colony, we are to collect and put in order the relevant information, and further, to conduct a comprehensive and preliminary analysis on the exploitation of the hot spring resources. Indeed, the main idea of this study is to frame the development and evolution of the hot spring sites within the Taiwan area, and to investigate the background and factors of the formation of the Taiwan hot spring sites and the characteristics and significance of various hot spring architectural forms in Taiwan. And with all the conditions put together, we attempt to look into the influence and the role that the hot spring has played in Taiwan. Content of this thesis is summarized as follows:
Chapter 1 Introduction: primarily discusses the motive and methods for research, and to outline the comprehensive sequence of ideas concerning the Taiwan hot spring architecture over the Japanese ruling period.
Chapter 2 Hot Spring Culture and Hot Spring Exploitation: mainly investigates the exploitation of the western and the Chinese hot spring resources, and the development and characteristics of the domestic hot spring culture in Japan. Moreover, we would like to know, that under the Japanese military demand, how the construction background and the architectural characteristics of various medical facilities such as hospitals and sanatoriums were evolved from the Taiwan hot spring sites during the early Japanese ruling period.
Chapter 3 Relevant Hot Spring Facilities under the Colonization Policies: primarily deals with the relationship between the Taiwan colonization policies and the development of the hot spring architecture. One of the topics is about the development of the hot spring bathhouses constructed based upon the hygienic policies and the construction of various recreational facilities such as clubs, hotels, restaurants and country villas that were promoted under the consideration for civil leisure. Likewise, the significance and characteristics of the hot spring architectural forms in Taiwan will be discussed at this point. Another topic is about the relationship between the relative public facilities within the hot spring sites and the formation of the hot spring sites.
Chapter 4 Conclusion: through the thesis, we are to have a thorough idea of the course of development regarding the hot spring architecture constructed on the Taiwan hot spring sites over the Japanese ruling period.
