Hong Kong is currently facing the insufficient flat supply to cope with the growth of population and foreign investment from mainlanders. Over the past decade, there has been an escalating force to explore the land supply in many village area in the New Territories due to its low land premium to be paid to the Government. While some of the village are located far away from the urban area in Kowloon peninsula and the Hong Kong Island, some of the typical villages in the New Territories, with the benefit of railway development by West Railway, have been drawn developer’s attention to start acquisition of the village area and commence property redevelopment by change of land use through planning application to Town Planning Board. Yuen Long District, one of the longest history and full of typical villages’ characteristics in Hong Kong, also face the threats and opportunities from local developer. Tai Kiu Tsuen is a typical example to examine how local developers could explore the redevelopment potential of the entire village area and preserve the character defining elements of the village during the current planning and design stage. The issue of the redevelopment and preservation of the village rest on the effort and contribution mainly from three parties, including the various government departments such as Planning Department and Town Planning Board, Antiquities and Monument Office from Leisure and Cultural Services Department, Lands Department and Buildings Department and various works departments, local developer’s side include the Project Management Team and Conservation Architect Team and the local stakeholders including the indigenous villagers, the neighborhoods and relevant Yuen Long citizens has attachment to the village. The key issue address by this dissertation is that while the redevelopment potential of certain prime village area could be explored and utilized to satisfy the local domestic needs, it is also equally important to preserve the tangible and intangible value of the village. This values should be preserved and passed to next future generation to continue the tradition and customs of Yuen Long District. The dissertation will focus on Tai Kiu Tsuen in Yuen Long District as a case study. The purpose is to identify the character defining elements of the typical village in the New Territories and its cultural significance. The dissertation also examines the evidential, historical, aesthetical and communal values of Tai Kui Tsuen in the development of Yuen Long District. This research will answer the conservation principles could be adopted in preserving a heritage village in Yuen Long District or New Territories and suggest how to integrate the heritage significance into future property development in order to maintain the significant values, especially communal value, of the village in Yuen Long District or New Territories. / published_or_final_version / Conservation / Master / Master of Science in Conservation

This dissertation is about the documentation and cultural mapping of a village in China that will give way to urban redevelopment. The village is my home village, where I grew up in the 1990s. It is located in the northern part of China, which is in the capital city of Hebei province named Shijiazhuang. Like many cities, Shijiazhuang used to be a small city with many villages gathered together. Shijiazhuang was once one of the many villages in Hebei too. In 1902 when foreign people came to Hebei, the French people built rail ways went through Shijiazhuang. These railways helped Shijiazhuang redeveloped into a big city while retaining the old name. There used to be many villages within the city center of Shijiazhuang, but with the development of the city, many of them were demolished and replaced by modern buildings. A similar situation exists in the outer areas of the city, where there used to be many villages, but they have been abandoned by the villagers (they have moved out to new modern residential communities). Although it may not be possible to conserve these villages, they do have long histories, dating back at least to the Ming Dynasty, and they have much educational value on the past life pattern of Shijiazhuang. However, I found that although much research has been done on almost every aspect of villages in China, there is never a thoroughly research about the villages in Shijiazhuang city. I believe it is important to research on these villages. As the documentation of the villages will provide important information on the historical and cultural origins of future bigger city of Shijiazhuang. If nothing is done now, Shijiazhuang will become a city of no record of the past, a city without memory. In order to keep a document of these villages in Shijiazhuang, I chose my home village Xijianliang as an example to carry on the research, which is one of these last remaining villages. I want to document the way people used to live in the old village, and this might be my last chance to do so. The rationale of this study is to have an accurate record of the way of living in a typical traditional Chinese village in Hebei, before the way of living disappears with the villages. I want to carry out this research in order to call on people’s attention and show them the way to record a village before these precious heritage is lost. Hopefully, more people who used to live in one of these villages will join in to record their own villages. Then we can gradually record all these villages in Shijiazhuang, and help to keep the memory of the city. / published_or_final_version / Conservation / Master / Master of Science in Conservation
