摘要

城鄉之間的快速發展，環境的同質性越來越高，而經常無法立即辨識所處地區。同質性的地景產生了全球無地方性的辯證，無地方性缺乏了地方情感的連結，例如主題式娛樂地景。台灣中南部城鎮的環境具有高度的相似性，由產業地景和聚落交織所建構而成，此相似的地景樣貌仍具有其地方感的存在。本論文研究主要目的在於探討人們對環境線索選擇的不同，經由環境線索辨識自我所處的地區與場所，以嘉義縣朴子市為研究對象，從小單元的城鎮型態推測台灣中南部城鎮的可讀性。本研究操作方法以等距離紀錄幹道行進過程中的視覺影像，並且請專家選出作為環境可辨識性樣本的影像進行訪談，訪談對象以在地居民與外地人為主，企圖找出辨識我們所處的地區的環境線索。研究統計分析資料後得到了以下的結果：
1.不同群體會依據年齡層、職業、生活圈、生活方式的差異，選擇不同的環境線索辨識自我所處的場所或地區。
2.人們依據生活經驗、歷史記憶、生活方式的差異影響了環境線索的認知，因而可以指認出不在場的線索、所在地、方位性的描述與邊界概念。
3.同質性高的環境中，街道樣貌的相似性造成人們對視覺影像的誤認，因此容易產生誤讀的現象，非市區（countryside）的環境線索誤認情形較多，故非市區的地方性較市區的地方性來得薄弱。
4.不具地方性的跨區域的連鎖牌示，在都市與非都市之中卻有不同的指涉意涵。非都市的連鎖商店對在地人而言，具有其新鮮感並且印象深刻，有別於以往的生活經驗，就外地人而言會藉由在地商業牌示指認地點。
5.台灣中南部鄉鎮的可讀性，可從在地生活者的地區的生活方式、歷史記憶、情感連結、象徵意義等，瞭解地方與在地生活者辨識環境的方式與實質環境元素之組成。

本研究企圖探討台灣中南部城鎮的環境可讀性，經由研究操作所指認出的環境線索可得知：人們可依據居住時間的長短與對地方的熟悉程度，對地區產生了情感連結，環境便具有其可讀性，環境的可讀性造就了地方感的產生。

Because of the fast development between towns and countries, the homogeneity of environment becomes higher and higher, and thus it is always unable to distinguish the region that you are in immediately. Homogeneous scenery produces the discrimination and authentication of non-locality globally, and non-locality lacks the connection of regional emotions, such as theme-amusement scenery. The environment of cities and towns in the central and southern parts of Taiwan are highly similar, they are constructed by the interlacing of industries and villages, and such a similar scenic appearance still possesses the existence of locality. The main study purpose of this thesis lies in discussing the differences that people have when selecting environmental clues, and how they distinguish the regions and places that they are located in through environmental clues. The study object is Puzih City in Chiayi County, the readability of the cities and towns in the central and southern parts of Taiwan is inferred from the cities and towns models of small units. Equidistance is used as the study method to record the visual images from the main line process, and then specialist is invited to select the images that can be served as the environmental distinguishing samples in order to carry out interview. The interview targets are mainly local residents and aliens; interview is carried out for the sake of trying to find out the environmental clues that distinguish the regions that we are located at. The following results have been obtained after studying and analyzing the statistical data:
a. Different groups would select different environmental clues to distinguish the places or regions that they are located at in accordance with the differences of age levels, occupations, living circles, and living styles.
b. People’s perception towards environmental clues is influenced in accordance with the differences of life experience, historical memory, and living style; thus, they can point out the descriptions of absent clues, locations, and directions and the boundary concept.
c. In the environment with high homogeneity, the similarity of street appearance causes people have wrong recognition towards visual images, thus the misreading phenomenon will happen easily. The wrong recognitions from countryside environmental clues happen more often, thus the locality of countryside is weaker than the locality of urban area.
d. The trans-regional chain signs do not have locality, but they have different reference meanings between urban area and countryside. Local residents have fresh feelings and deep impressions towards chain stores in the countryside, this is different from the life experience in the past; for aliens, they will make use of the commercial signs to recognize places.
e. For the readability of the villages and towns in the central and southern parts of Taiwan, one can understand the composition of local residents’ methods for distinguishing environment and the substantial environment elements from the living style, historical memory, emotional connection, and symbolized meaning of the regions.

This study attempts to discuss the environmental readability of the cities and towns in the central and southern parts of Taiwan, from the environmental clues that are pointed out by the study process, one can know that people would produce an emotional connection with the region in accordance with the length of residence time and the familiarity towards the places. Then, the environment possesses its readability, and the readability of environment brings up the formation of sense of locality.
