| Summary: | 碩士 === 開南大學 === 公共事務管理學系碩士班 === 95 === Over the last four centuries, Taiwan experienced a succession of interracial and intercultural transformations that is rare and unique in the modern world history. Taiwanese people, influenced by the “Han” cultural in the 1600’s underwent colonization and ruling by the Dutch, Spain, Japan, and most recently, the Chinese Nationalist, have transformed Taiwan into a society rich with diverse cultures and cultural heritages.
Cultural heritage awareness and appreciation come gradually to the people with social development, economic growth, and advances in science and education. The degrees of awareness and appreciation rise with the standards of living, education, and social interactions. Although cultural heritage values may at times appear to have changed or depreciated, under different social and/or political circumstances or at a different era, this type of change or setback, however, does not make a cultural heritage less worthy, it only add to the richness of the heritage. In 1982, the central government of Taiwan passed the Cultural Heritage Preservation Act, followed in 1984, the promulgation of the Enforcement Rules of the Cultural Heritage Preservation Act. Although the Act and Rules have been established for more than two decades and enhanced with amendments and revisions, the concept of cultural heritage protection and preservation, however, is still lacking among the general public of Taiwan. Works on preservation have been lead primarily by the central and local governments without much public interests and supports. Progresses have been slow in coming and results hard to come by.
The objective of this study is to identify cultural heritage preservation enhancement strategies that will grass root the concept and awareness of culture heritage preservation to the broader public, deepen the understanding and appreciation of the culture heritage values. Hence, motivated the people to take a greater responsibility in cultural heritage protection and preservation, and become the willing and active partners of the governments in preserving the rich, diverse, cultural heritages of Taiwan. This study involves an examination of the amendments and revisions of the Cultural Heritage Preservation Act and its Enforcement Rules and provides an in depth analysis of the past legislative movements and implementation trend, as well as the achievements in cultural heritage preservations. The author hopes to derive from observing the rule requirements and implementation outcomes, measurements or characterizations to formulate enhancement strategies to further Taiwan’s cultural heritage preservation movement into a new frontier of greater partnership among the people and the governments of Taiwan.
