碩士 === 國立臺南藝術大學 === 建築藝術研究所 === 96 === This paper is a research of rural landscape change of Tugou area in Hou-bi Township at Tainan County from Chin dynasty to 1970 period. The researcher tried to investigate a few question from the historical construction of landscape in Tugou: (1) Pass through a diachronic process from Chin dynasty, Japanese colonial period to World II, how did the change of landscape in Tugou occur? And how did the history of landscape transfer? (2) Under the synchronic structure in each history phase, what were the relationships between the rural landscape, the construction of Taiwan society and the ecosystem of polity and economy? And what were the relationships between the change of landscape and change of society? (3) What variance occurred on the form, the function and the meaning of Tugou landscape during the process of landscape changing? And what is the force behind it? There are three divided part in the structure of the paper. The first part is to reconstruct the Tugou landscape in Chin dynasty; the second part is to reconstruct the Tugou landscape in Japanese colonial period; the third part is to reconstruct the Tugou landscape from post-World War II to 1970. During the diachronic and synchronic overlapping research process, the researcher based on the data from field study, broadens the interdisciplinary data variety and source, with cross-validated altogether, and gradually reconstructed the appearance of history landscape and rural society under the specific space trace eventually. It is found that the Tugou landscape in Chin dynasty were the reappearance of “the life style of home town’ from the Hans. The original land provided friendly agrarian conditions that allowed the forerunners to farm to satisfy the living need, the landscape rudiment of village, paddies, water conservancy and roadway, etc. thus to be mold. Over and above of the Chin system, this was the “country land” that ran by the Hans and it’s to be seen that the feature of the land was quiet abundant from the toponym in dialect. During the Japanese colonial period, Tugou entered the system that revolved around the Japanese colonial government. Under the main policy, the settler dispossessed the source of “country land” on either like human source and land by the means of “the construction” on the water conservancy, the policy of sugar production and the traffic facilities. After the World War II, the “construction” on colonial period was “took over” by the Chinese Nationalist government and continued to operate. Led by the Chinese Nationalist government, the main goal of “country land” source was to increase production, the Tugou landscape therefore to be forced to change again. The farmland consolidation was the most crucially in all the method of landscape remodel. Came along with the farmland consolidation were the new farm roads and canal engineering system and geometric paddies shape; which came one after another were the agricultural mechanization, also the landscape changing experience of the people. After a huge landscape remodel, Tugou landscape gradually went from “traditional” to “modernistic”. We could find that the form of landscape became more and more simplex and equalized. The function of landscape changed from self-giving to the profit source of settler, and became the tool of new government to consolidate and develop the industry department; the meaning of landscape was more and more channeled to instrumentalization, many feature and value of the land were lost with the pace of modernistic. Hereupon, we post the critique to the institutional force, and the thought that the development revolving around the national system would limit the possibility of rural village significantly. At last, the researcher look forward to place this academic production into the social effectuation; to provide a introspect, a mirror of history to any reconstruct action that relate to Tugou for the present and for future.
