碩士 === 樹德科技大學 === 建築與古蹟維護研究所 === 92 === This research is intent to combine historic preservation with information technology (IT). The main task of historic preservation is on the daily maintenance. However, there is no sufficient manpower and no capable management personnel either in the historic management institutions; therefore, lots of historic buildings are lack of maintenance. The purpose of this research is to construct a series of tools which include the Historic Building Survey Record, the Personal Digital Assistant (PDA) Survey Program and the Back-End DataBase Management System (DBMS), they will be used for the survey and management of historic buildings. In the establishment of a new checklist herein is to improve the existing ones, and it shall apply to all kinds of historic buildings in Taiwan. PDA has the character of easy-to-carry and simple-to-use. In order to digitize the Record as mentioned above, this research is to follow system development life cycle (SDLC) and to use Microsoft Visual Studio.NET to develop the PDA Program. The trained historic management personnel and professionals will be the Program users. The DataBase Management System is able to well manage the data file created by the PDA Survey Program. Following the analysis of the management requirements, this research adopts the Microsoft Access Design DataBase Management System. The historic management institutions will be the System users. As the implementation of the previously mentioned tools, the historic management personnel will be able to utilize the PDA Program to perform the investigation and evaluation for the historic buildings according to the items as shown on the checklist. After the created data file has been imported into the data base system, the management institution personnel can be fully aware of the daily maintenance situation by using the “search” and the “old-new file comparison” engines. If the building situation becomes unusual, a repair project should be planned as soon as possible in order to prevent further deterioration.
