The Study of the Formation of a Seashore Cultural Landscape:A Case of Fishery in Tai-Jiang District / 濱海區域文化景觀形塑之研究─以台江地區漁業為例

碩士 / 國立成功大學 / 建築學系碩博士班 / 98 / Due to the awareness that world heritages should be more than a simple combination of nature and culture, UNESCO created a new category of “Cultural Landscape” in 1992 to illustrate the variety of format expressions from the interactions between mankind and the natural environment as the cultural content that resulted from the connection of people living in various parts of the world to their societies and their symbiosis with the natural environment through the course of time. In Taiwan, the government amended the Cultural Heritage Preservation Act in 2005 to include cultural landscape as a heritage category. This reflected the fact that the concept of a cultural asset in Taiwan has gradually transformed from the preservation of individual, tangible architecture to a regional, multi-dimensional composite format.
In this study, we will examine a case study on the activities of the fishery in the Tai-Jiang seaside district. First, the paper will clarify the definition and interpretation of cultural landscape in the international society to construct the content of fishery cultural landscape, which will serve as the basis for assessment for the Tai-Jiang seaside district fishery. The concept of a cultural landscape emphasizes the “co-product of nature and mankind”. In this paper, we will examine the elements of construction that make up the Tai-Jiang seaside district fishery from the perspectives of “natural conditions” and “human activities”. Given the characteristics of the landscape, local residents have shaped tangible and intangible elements to shape the contents of regional cultural landscape by developing unique land utilization techniques such as “coastal fishery”, “shallow sea culture”, “inland seawater fish culture”, “salt drying” and “conducting industrial activities that shaped living space and culture”. The paper will then identify the characteristics of a cultural landscape; these characteristics will help enhance the core values of the Tai-Jiang district fishery landscape and its diversified culture. The final section of the paper will present a full examination on the integrity and authenticity s of these characteristics.
The fishery in the Tai-Jiang district has been constantly evolving through the course of time and it has demonstrated the changes of physical objects and heritage of spiritual dimensions to present an organic and sustainable fishery cultural landscape. However, the boisterous development of urbanization and the technological industries has suppressed the fishery’s survival and resulted in the discontinuity of numerous production landscapes through fragmentation. The Tai-Jiang district is one of the few districts that have fortunately retained their full cultural landscape resources. It serves as a living and concrete example of interaction between cultural and historical activities of man and the natural and ecological resources. As such, the Tai-Jiang district promises ample potential to become a fishery cultural landscape.
