It was part of the village systems of Taipei Basin and was in the same period with port villages such as Man-ka, Hsin-chuang, His-kuo and Da-Dao-Cheng. Since Tamshui was an outport of Taipei Basin, it was not only the window for the Han immigrants but also the domestic and external transportation channel of Taipei Basin. In early times, there were aboriginal activities in Tamshui. The occupation of the Spanish and Dutchmen resulted in the start of the village development. After the middle period of Ching Dynasty, Tamshui once became international port due to the establishment and trading of the port. At the beginning of the period of Japanese occupation, Tamshui River was under severe deposition. Keelung Harbor thus emerged and the development of Tamshui was declining. In recent years, the construction of MRT system drove new industry of tourism, and Tamshui become the recreational resort of urban area in Taipei. From the perspective of urban space theory, this research attempted to analyze the causes of space construction and change of different periods and expected to generate a clear skeleton of development of village. The research explored the space construction of Tamshui village from the establishment and trading of Tamshui port in 1860 to the Japanese occupation over Taiwan in 1895. After Tamshui became the international port, the streets which were originally for the activities of the Hans involved in works of foreigners. With the emergence of the functions of foreign business, religion, medical treatment and education, the village space revealed new look. How the transformation and the original development of Han streets affected each other and merged with each other turned into one of the critical issues of the research. This article will analyze the space development through transportation system, street network, land utilization model, position and distribution of the facilities and establish the space construction of Tamshui village at the end of Ching Dynasty. The period of Japanese occupation was an important stage of the change of space of Tamshui village. The new look of space development of the village turned into the basis of the prospective development of the city. The colonial government actively established various economic constructions such as transportation system, adjustment of the village and sanitary sewers. Apart from the original establishment of Ching Dynasty, the colonial government further increased the functions of administration, transportation, finance, sanitation and recreation so that the functions of the village would be more complete. With the integration of sea transportation, river transportation and land transportation, Tamshui gradually became the district hub of transportation. The process of space transformation resulted in modernization of the functions of the village which was indeed the period of the most change of the village. This article will establish the construction of village space of the period of Japanese occupation through space scale, transportation system, street network, land utilization model and the location and distribution of various facilities of the village. Finally, the research proceeded with a synthetic comparison between the space construction of the end of Ching Dynasty and the period of Japanese occupation and analyzed the causes of change of contemporary space development and relation and characteristics of transformation of Tamshui village and further clarified a clear skeleton of the whole development. The research also studied the natural development of the village since Ching Dynasty and the policy-oriented change of the period of Japanese occupation and the effects of different political and economic environments upon the space development of Tamshui such as the move of the center of village, expansion of space scale, distribution of the area for activities, the development of various facilities and the effect of deposition of river course. The substantial transformation of space featured the human significance of the background of time and environment.
