新營糖廠宿舍群保存策略之研究

台灣的製糖產業自80年代以降，因為國內外市場需求緊縮與生產不敷成本等因素影響，糖廠紛紛停產與關廠，代表時代變遷的環境紋理與舊有建築物，經常尚未適宜評估就遭致毀壞，造成許多遺憾。研究團隊接受台南縣政府委託，實證研究的核心地點在新營糖廠之木造宿舍群，本文首先界定議題探討與研究定位，整理分析相關文獻史料，再進行相關人士的深入訪談，並實地勘查值得保存的空間資源，進而提出修復原則與保存策略建議。經全面性建築文化資產的價值研判，發現新營糖廠宿舍群具有優質保存與再利用的潛力，應積極尋求相關單位的協助，儘早進行建築文化資產相關的保存維護工作。面對老舊市區更新規劃的迫切性，其實可以透過審慎評估，使得文化遺產的保存工作與舊市區再造共榮並存，使得過去曾經為台灣產業發展立下汗馬功勞的傳統產業，能夠再度順應世界潮流的發展趨勢，成功轉型成為深度的文化觀光事業。

Due to such factors as increasing production costs and shrinking domestic and foreign demand, Taiwan's sugar production industry has been in decline since the 1980s, and most of the many sugar refineries around the island have already ceased operations. These idle sugar refineries are home to a large number of historic buildings representative of an earlier era. Few of these buildings, however, have been properly assessed, and while their fate hangs in the balance they become increasingly dilapidated. Focusing on the dormitory complex of the Xinying Sugar Refinery, this paper begins by delimiting the topic, defining the research orientation, and analyzing related historical documents. It then goes on to present interviews carried out with relevant people and on-the-spot surveys conducted to determine which buildings are worth preserving. The paper concludes by offering suggestions relating to restoration principles and conservation strategies. In the course of carrying out a comprehensive evaluation of the Sinying Sugar Factory, it was discovered that the dormitory complex is a valuable architectural and cultural asset with a high potential for preservation and redevelopment. Thus it is imperative to actively seek assistance from relevant organizations and carry out preservation work without delay. Despite the urgency for new construction in urban areas, by making use of careful and detailed assessments it is possible to bring about the mutual coexistence of cultural heritage preservation and urban renewal. Such careful planning is an essential part of honoring the legacy of a traditional industry which has played a major role in Taiwan's economic development. Its effective implementation in line with global trends will transform Taiwan's historic sugar industry properties into an important part of Taiwan's cultural tourism industry.
