碩士 === 東海大學 === 建築學系 === 93 === Based on participatory planning, community school, open education, and sustainable campus, the research examine the reconstruction result, planning processes, and effects of those elementary school campuses in Taichung and Nantou County after 921 earthquake. It also retraces the whole story of campus reconstruction, so called “New Campus Movement” by the public. The methods utilized include the literature review, questionnaire survey, and statistic analysis. The questionnaires were sent out to 100 schools that had been fully or over halfly restructured, and 83 valid questionnaries were returned. From literature review it is known that many civil societies, with the encouragement from the Government, joined the campus reconstruction at the early stage of this movement, e.g. Tzu Chi Foundation. At the same time “the Humanistic Education Foundation” led some civil societies to carry out the “Innovative Education Reconstruction Planning”. It introduces architectural profession and the participatory planning and design processes. It helps the Government to electe distinguish distinction architects and successfully push the “New Campus Movement”. After fully discussion, those architects proposed the “Most Advantageous Tender” to assure construction quality. Otherwise, by proposing the PCM (Professional Construction Management), the Government and schools no longer take the construction responsibility. However, the plan was not such successful, because the old Government processed the reconstruction sluggishly and the quality of constructors was not high enough. Finally, only “MMA Group” implemented the plan to cover thoes schools in Gia-Yi area. The whole project, PCM was implemented partially, “the Most Advantageous Tender” was used, and the architects were fairly selected. But all of these could be fit for ordinary schools only after relative legal regulation are amended. The questionnaries survey reveals that the education reconstruction plan of the civil education reformer led participatory planning and design extencively. This not only made the architectural profession and education specialties communication, but also improved the interaction between schools and community. Furthermore, due to soft boundaries, the affinity between campuses and communities have been improved. However, the “clustered classroom” pattern is still not popular in the new campuses in terms of being open and deversified. Even though “learning corners” have been widely set up in the new campus classrooms, the variety is still to be improved. On the other hand, special room for teachers is not widely set up in the new campuses even though teacher-based instruction concept is emphasized today. Also, the resource recycling and energy conservation in the new campuses is not very well done even the environmental consciousness is intensified nowadays. Nevertheless, new campuses pay more attention to beautify and green the environment, which fit in with the trend of ecological planning.
