Summary:碩士 === 中原大學 === 室內設計研究所 === 98 === Abstract Sin-Jhuang, a town combining talents and culture, is the first developed area in northern Taiwan. Witnessed centuries of prosperity and recession, now it still stands firm at the Ta-Han River bank. The glory days of business in Sin-Jhuang gradually fades due to the migration of the downtown area. However, devout religious beliefs, folk activities remain unaffected by the decline of business activities. Instead of vanishing, the religious and cultural essence has cumulated and matured during the paste centuries, and has generated a lasting charm. The business center has migrated with the construction of the secondary center of Sin-Jhuang and the new service of MRT system, which has resulted in the lacking of humanity communication in the Old Street of Sin-Jhuang. Now Sin-Jhuang is losing it’s spiritual power and is gradually marginalized in the process of urban development. This research is focused on releasing of the cultural space of the Sin-Jhuang Old Street through field research. Spatial reconstruction and cultural connection development will be proposed after executing historical area representation. Hopefully we can regenerate the values of enlightenment through the Cultural and Religious Park in Sin-Jhuang. The process of urban development has caused the migration of city center. However, the renowned traditional industries, historical temples, and humanity resources in the Old Street area has became exceptionally favorable conditions for the development of cultural park. The reservation of traditional cultures and religious has emphasized their importance when compared to the new constructions in the urban development. Hopefully, the goal of establishing a distinctive cultural network through the regeneration and development of human assets and business practices in the cultural and religious park in Sin-Jhuang will be attained.
