Description
Summary:碩士 === 國立臺北大學 === 地政學系 === 91 === The religious parade is a ritual of praying for local safety and peace through deity worship by patrolling the streets. It connects the power of regional communities, and also portrays many traditional folk cultures. These enrich the folk belief culture in Taiwan. Luchou, a town with regional characteristics, has its own “dynamic sacred space” defined by the annual religious parade. It also derives regional cultures such as traditional marching bands. However, lots of outside immigrants have poured into this area because of the city plan. It causes conflicts between the religious parade and the city planning. This research will assemble relevant references and collect local historical information. By conducting observations and interviews in depth, the research will recommend a “sacred space” in Luchou and its regional characteristics through the local religious parade. By the surveys of the religious parade routes, we also can find the relationship between the local religious parade and Luchou’s street space. Furthermore, it will examine the street space planning in Luchou. Key words: Luchou, religious parade, religious parade routes, street space, and dynamic sacred space.
