歷史街區的保存對過去單棟建築的保存是一個新的里程。在歷史街區裡建築物本體的完整性保存不再是唯一的考量因素，更重要的是整個文化背景與社會脈絡的延續。即所謂『活』的保存方式。而這其中有一個比建築物本身更足以影響保存成果的因素存在，就是『人』。所以人的生活行為與使用方式直接影響著保存工作所呈現給社會最直接的觀感。 本研究以台北市迪化街申請修復與新建的申請案為研究對象，試圖釐清為何「台北市大稻埕歷史風貌特定專用區」計畫施行至今至今，仍無法更新社會大眾對迪化街『落後』、『凌亂』與『不便利』的負面印象。究竟一個理想的歷史街區應該是怎樣的，而現在的迪化街又有哪些部分應該更積極的改變，才能往成功的歷史街區保存之路前行呢！ 本研究從街區整體環境與店屋現代化生活的置入兩個方向來探討，整體環境最主要即是公共管線以及停車的問題，而店屋本身則是因為現代化生活所需要的設施設備的置入與舊有的空間型態產生衝突點的問題。今以使用行為所衍生的現況來探討可能的解決方式，期望可以作為日後修復新建時，規劃設計時的考量依據。避免因為沒有考量使用行為的修復計畫與實際使用的落差。以其能夠真的恢復並創造一個既保有傳統歷史街區風貌卻又能夠合乎現代生活需求的歷史街區及店屋形式。 Historic street block conservation presents a new milestone to the past single building conservation. As keeping buildings in a historic block intact is no longer the sole consideration factor, what is more important is the continuity of the cultural background and social linage. It constitutes so-called “Live” preservation mode. While there is more other factor that exists to influence the conservation results more than the building itself, it is the “People”. Consequently, the human’s living behavior and adaptation method directly impact what the conservation work presents to the society of a most straightforward perspective.
The study attempts to discern, by focusing on Taipei Dihua Street restoration and refurnishing petition cases as the study subject, why the “Taipei Dadaocheng Historic Zone” project, since its initial launching to this date, has failed to avert the general public’s negative views that Dihua Street remains outdated, chaotic and inconvenient. The question beckons what would an ideal historic block be, and what protective changes can be made to today’s Dihua Street, which will contribute to a successful progress in historic street block conservation.
The study, by broaching from two major focuses of the overall street block environment and modernizing the storefronts, has concluded that public utility pipework and parking issues are the main concerns in the overall environment, and that the issue of blending modern living facilities and equipment needed for modern living to the old spatial configuration has been the concern in the storefront structure per se. The study attempts to examine probable solution by focusing on the existing circumstances derived from the occupancy behaviors in an attempt to provide a reference point in the development and design of refurbishment and new development in the future. It serves to bridge the gaps between unplanned refurnishing plans to the actual occupancy needs, and to facilitate in truly restoring and creating a historic block and storefront configuration offering traditional street block legacy but meeting the modern living needs.
