一般傳統宮廟建築,大多是受到風水的影響下來營造的。本研究目的在探討宮廟建築風水的影響與成效。屏東縣新園鄉仙隆宮建廟於明朝天啟年間(西元1627年),並經1837年及1965年兩次的改建迄今,已有397年歷史。本研究採用之風水理論,一是巒頭學,針對基地環境以觀察或五感(觸覺、聽覺、視覺、味覺、嗅覺)來感受形巒優劣;另一是理氣學,以三元玄空風水學理論來探究營建之時間、空間、方位三構面的解釋體系來推算方位吉凶;必需巒理兩者互參來應用。研究結果發現2009至2011年,屋脊頂頭之吉祥物彩繪裝飾與內部空間整修及2014年路口山門(排樓)之興建,時間週期均在8運(指2004~2023年)當運(旺)之年完成。原已退運(8運以前)的宮廟建築經修繕景象煥然一新,符合迎旺運(8運)及旺向(未山丑向)的風水條件。經驗證仙隆宮近期的發展情形,經費充裕且在積極推廣慈善公益活動上備受好評,促進宗教和諧方面又契合廣結善緣,這三方面與過去相較,確實助益良多。仙隆宮符合風水理論旺山旺向的格局,即西南方宮廟後有一排公寓當著靠山,將帶給宮廟信徒與財源更加穩定,相信亦帶給地方社區有更好的發展。
