曾經是東南亞最大造紙廠的台灣宜蘭中興紙廠,隨著時代的輪轉,在西元2001年結束營業。中興紙廠在歇業之後,園區閒置荒廢多年,終於在13年後(西元2014年)由宜蘭縣政府接手管理維護,並正式命名「中興文化創意產業園區」,並逐步動工修繕部分場域,歷經多年修復,並於西元2017年正式對外開放營運。中興文化創意園區試圖以在地性、工藝、設計及生活文創…等,舉辦一系列活絡園區活動,至今仍有持續定期舉辦展演活動,但能見度不高,甚至是當地人也不見得知曉。入場參觀人潮比起宜蘭縣其他觀光景點,如:羅東夜市、宜蘭伯朗咖啡館…等景點,更顯得零星。本研究在於透過觀察分析園區地理位置及周遭概況,去梳理出影響人潮與觀光意願原因,並以台灣其他縣市文創園區案例來綜合分析比對,來看中興文化創意園區未來發展之方向和可能性,並擬定後續研究發展策略。
Taiwan Chung Hsing paper coroporation, which used to be the largest paper factory in Southeast Asia. However, it ceased operation and closed in 2001s. After 13 years since it closed, the Yilan County Government took over the place and renamed "Chung Hsing Cultural and Creative Park" officially. During years of reconstruction, it opened to the world in 2017. After reopening, Chung Hsing Cultural and Creative Park has host activities to revive the place continuously, includes craft, design and creativity projects. Nevertheless, it does not go well. The exposure is relatively weak between tourists or locals. Compare to other crowded tourist spots in Yilan, such as Luodong night market and Mr. Brown café castle, Chung Hsing Cultural and Creative Park seems desolate. Based on the initial observation, this project aims to investigate the less prosperity of Chung Hsing Cultural and Creative Park by analysing the location and surroundings. Moreover, comparative analysis of cities in Taiwan will be another cut point to support the subject, and draw up the strategy of this research.
