台南市的舊城牆在日治時期被拆除後,城牆周邊空間被規劃了許多學校、公園等公共空間。儘管大部分城垣空間已被拆除,這些沿著城垣殘跡發展的帶狀公共空間紋理,使城垣的空間意涵有機會透過其中的當代生活文化而獲得延續,並生產其對當代社會的價值。本研究將透過一些近代哲學、建築與都市理論學者的觀點,來解釋探討台南舊城當代文化意涵對都市發展的重要性。其中指出,理解當代都市生活和空間文本在互動中所產生的意義,與認識文本的生產背景與歷史價值一樣重要。因此本研究將以實際觀察與訪談資料來掌握城垣遺跡與其周邊帶狀服務性公共空間在當代日常生活中的社會互動情況,並透過這樣的研究來彙整台南市舊城城垣文化遺產與其周邊公共空間都市生活的未來發展建議。
Since the city walls of Tainan were destroyed in the Japanese Colonial Period, the areas around the former walls had been developed with many public spaces such as schools and parks. As some remains of the walls can still be found in or around these public spaces, these spaces thus provide the opportunities for the meanings of the walls to survive in the contemporary everyday life of Tainan. Following some recent philosophical, architectural, and urban concepts, this paper suggests that, in terms of place-making, grasping the interactions between the city-wall remains and today's everyday life is as important as understanding the historical cultural values of the remains. Accordingly, this paper will explore the everyday life around the city-wall remains in those public spaces empirically, so as to suggest approaches to conservation of the city-wall remains in future urban development.
