碩士 === 國立成功大學 === 建築學系 === 105 === Taking Pu-Ji Temple’s Miao-Jing as main issue, this study focuses how Miao-Jing is transformed under sociocultural and spatial development. The concept ‘Miao-Jing’ in Tainan City was generated by the defensive affairs and religious activities during Qing Dynasty. It shows the particular area’s commonality in the Hans’ folk religion. Modern spatial plans and urban expansion after World War II, temples in nearby areas became the competitors of Pu-Ji Temple on Miao-Jing. At the same time, in the social cultural dimension, the construction of modern political management and the personalized religious values allowed non-habitants to participate temple’s affairs. The religious affairs once local are no longer limited to the specific residents. Those two conditions above transform the Miao-Jing in scope and intrinsic quality. The Study reconstructs Miao-Jing by basic construction of ‘Jing’ in three kinds of constructions: space, territory and effects. These constructions are proposed to observe the religious territory’s changing and the reasons behind. QGIS is adopted to record the field investigation and visualize the three constructions on one platform. In sum, the study raises an observation and a way of recording Miao- Jing, to reveal a practical religious performance. Furthermore, it takes Pu-Ji temple as the case to record the constructions and the transformations from Qing Dynasty to modern period.
