Summary: | 碩士 === 國立成功大學 === 都市計劃學系 === 102 === During the process of urban development, some areas become obsolete due to the physical deterioration or functional/economic changes. Taiwan in particular, many public-own properties have been released for redevelopment as the result, and the military-own properties in particular are in the headlines. Current approach that see the redevelopment of vacant properties often solely based on economic considerations, but many wishes these sites, as public properties which are not profit-oriented, could become a showcase to build a better city. With the rising awareness of sustainable development, potential ecological contributions these sites could be provide a new perspective to see these redevelopment. This study takes on “Landscape Urbanism”, as the framework for programing the redevelopments of these military-own sites.
Landscape Urbanism reverses the traditional approach of building–oriented redevelopment, re-center open space or green space system as the structure and principle part of the city, then assign zoning and building configuration. As the results, vacant sites appear to be the opportunities to restore the urban ecosystem. In Taiwan, the vast amount of military-own land will be released in the near future become the rare opportunity to restore the ecosystem especially within central cities. Current practices that determine which sites for open space preservation or redevelopments are fairly sporadically, often only response to economic or social needs.
A systematically evaluation to the ecological values and potentials of these sites are critical for their future integration to the urban ecological structure. Empirically, this research uses landscape ecology as methodical framework to evaluate the ecological value each the military dependent village sites in the old Tainan City. The existing ecological network of patches, corridors and matrixes are identified, classified, and overlaid with the site locations. Indicators, including area, connectivity, vegetation diversity, habitat diversity, rate of green coverage rate are used to evaluate each sites values and potential to be preserved as green open space.
