從自身府城經驗開始,加上訪談居民及消費者,透過他們的角度,去探討如何給予沒落的「中正商圈」一個新的機會。結合不同角色/族群的人,對於所謂「中正商圈」的感受,或是在「中正商圈」中生活經驗的陳述,藉由訪談者及被訪談者,因著彼此的對話,了解受訪者在這裡做些什麼,或在想什麼,以及為何要如此進行等等,讓我�研究者得以獲得、了解及解釋受訪者個人對於「中正商圈」的認識,進而去給予這地區一個新的思維。 本文透過訪談,發現對於商圈的範圍有三種初步的認知,藉由1)歷史的空間認知、2)商業活動�行為的空間認知及3)感覺的空間認知的角度切入,探討「中正商圈」到底在哪裡? 研究發現,商圈的地理範圍與人們認知的過程有著相應的關係,這當中的認知包含了歷史的認知,消費行為的認知以及感官的認知,總括這些認知,共同交織出「範圍」這件事。於是,針對中正商圈的「範圍」觀察,應從「空間認知」的演變開始,才能爬出其「範圍」消長漂移的原因與動能,進而打破對於「商圈」大尺度的迷思,以一個「去商圈化」的角度作設計。
To provide a new opportunity to the declining Chung-Cheng Commercial Area, I interviewed some local residents and consumers, and combined their opinions and thoughts with my own living experiences in traditional Tainan city. By collecting feedbacks or statements from different people and races, I came to understand what does the interviewee want to do, what to think , and how they live. The process help me, as a researcher, gain, understand and explain the acquaintance of Chung-Cheng Commercial Area from interviewees to define a new thinking perspective for the area. The thesis found out three initial cognitions for the boundary of a commercial area by interviewing, including (1) Space cognition of history (2) Space cognition of commercial activities/behavior (3) Space cognition of perception. I used these to analysis Chung-Cheng Commercial Area mentioned above. The study found that the geographical boundary has relations to the process of people’s cognition. This cognition includes history, consumer behavior and sensation, and we can consolidate them to define a boundary. Therefore, the observation of Chung-Cheng Commercial Area should start from space cognition so that we can transcend the original concepts and limits. Furthermore, we can break the myth of Commercial Area, design in a “de-Commercial Area” way, and eventually understand it in a new perspective.
