具歷史價值的文化資產空間保存後再利用為博物館,無論是站在文化資產的保存工作方面,或博物館本身的發展,都是重要的課題。本研究嘗試結合探討文化資產空間與博物館二者,並從文化資產空間的指定(或登錄)、修復及再利用各階段的過程中,研究文化資產再利用為博物館使用時相關的法規與制度,以具國内指標的臺北市為例,並透過臺北市的案例,進一步分析目前面對的法規制度、現況與問題。本研究發現博物館的類型與當初文化資產指定時有極為密切之關係,指定為「點」的建築物未來成為「館舍」博物館,指定為「區域」者未來也許可成為「生態博物館」。此外,作為博物館的文化資產空間可依其所有權,分為:公有公營、公有委託私營、私有自營及私有委託私營等四大類,各類型有其所依據的法規條文。本研究同時也發現臺北市截至2008年9月止,已將文化資產空間轉做為博物館使用之產權情形中,公有產權及私有產權之比例為6:1。此外,公有公營與公有委外民營之比例為1:1。本文最後強調,將文化資產空間再利用設置為博物館是臺灣當前相當重要的課題。希望本研究的法規解析,有助於此項工作的發展。畢竟將文化資產空間作為博物館,不僅能提昇市民的文化素養及豐富城市生活,博物館產業也可作為塑造地方形象、發展文化觀光及提昇文化經濟的重要資源。
The re-use of historic sites as museums is an important issue no matter from the perspective of preservation of cultural heritage or museum development. This study attempts to integrate the discussion on historic sites and museums in the analysis of the regulations and systems of historic site re-use as museums. In addition, the various stages in the process will be looked at, including historic site designation (or registration), restoration and re-use, as well as the current situation and problems, with the focus on Taiwan's capital, Taipei City. This study found that the type of museum is very closely related to the original purpose of the historic site. For example, those designated as "point" are more likely to become an official residence museum and those designated as "district" to become an eco-museum. In addition, regulations differ according to the ownership of the historic site, which can be divided into the following categories: 1) public ownership with public management, 2) public ownership with private management, 3) private ownership with self management, 4) private ownership with management by another private entity. This paper also found that to September 2008, there is a ratio of public to private ownership of 6:1 among cases of historic site re-use as museum in Taipei City. In addition, the ratio of public owned properties with public management to public owned properties with private management is 1:1. Lastly, this paper stresses that re-use of historic sites as museums is a very important issue in Taiwan. Therefore, the author hopes that the results of this study can be used to better develop re-use of historical sites as museums. After all, this type of development can enrich appreciation of culture and arts among city residents, as well as their quality of life. Museums have also become important globally, shaping urban images, enhancing cultural tourism and elevating the cultural economy.
