摘要

本研究是以橋仔頭糖廠的轉型及居民的地方意識生成過程為主題，檢視整體台灣社會脈絡中地方文化思維在地方的發展。橋仔頭糖廠自1901年起在橋仔頭地區設立，成為地方賴以維生的重要產業，糖廠承載了橋仔頭民眾的記憶，並是代表地方文化的產業景觀，卻在1960年代末隨著產業環境變遷中逐漸沒落。而台灣自1970年代的鄉土運動以來，本土意識在知識分子中醞釀許久，隨著1980年代的社會運動、政治運動，本土化的潮流逐漸推展到社會大眾之間，形成文化的運動，民眾轉為對生活環境與地方人文展開關懷，到了1990年代匯流成為社區總體營造。在糖業沒落之後的階段，台灣社會的文化思維慢慢轉向以地方為主體的思考，所形成的地方文化思維則成為橋仔頭地區保存糖廠的依據，並對地方發展產生效應。
以時間的軸線來看，本論文主要是從1990年代起社區總體營造的興起來到橋仔頭地區之後，一直到今日橋仔頭糖廠轉型成為一個生產文化與藝術的空間，探討橋仔頭糖廠的空間及在地民眾的地方文化思維，於其中約二十年之久的轉變。而空間範圍主要則以橋仔頭糖廠為中心，向外延伸至過去仰賴糖廠維生的整個橋仔頭地區。透過對於橋仔頭地區的社區改造運動、糖廠保存及產業轉型的過程探討，來看台灣地方文化思維在地方的發展。

While viewing the local development of cultural thinking within the social context of Taiwan, the subject of this study is based on the transformation of the Kio-A-Thau Sugar Refinery and the birth of a local consciousness amongst residents. Established in 1901 at the Kio-A-Thau area, the Kio-A-Thau Sugar Refinery immediately became an important centerpiece of industry for the locale. As time went on, the sugar refinery soon changed into a place of collective memories for Kio-A-Thau residents, as it represented the industrial landscape of the locale’s culture. In the 1960s, along with changes in the industrial environment of Taiwan, the sugar industry gradually began to experience a decline. However, with the nativist movement in the 1970s, a local consciousness started to brew in the minds of intellectuals. And, along with the social and political movements of the 1980s, the trend of localization gradually extended to the lives of the public at large, eventually taking on the form of a cultural movement. People started to turn their attention to the development of their living environment and local cultures. In the 1990s, this trend converged into a force for community empowerment. After the decline of the sugar industry, the cultural thinking of Taiwanese society gradually became based on local characteristics. This formed the basis for the preservation of the sugar refinery at Kio-A-Thau, which generated an effect on local development.
This study primarily focuses on the period between the rise of community empowerment in the Kio-A-Thau area beginning in the 1990s to the present transformation of the Kio-A-Thau Sugar Refinery into a cultural and art space. It explores the space of the Kiao-A-Thau Sugar Refinery along with the local cultural thinking of local residents across approximately two decades of change. With the Kiao-A-Thau Sugar Refinery at the center, the range of the space studied is extended outwards to cover the entire Kiao-A-Thau area, which has relied on the refinery for its livelihood in the past. Through community reform movements directed at the Kiao-A-Thau area, this study explores the preservation of the sugar refinery amidst trends of industrial transformation to view the development of local cultural thinking in Taiwan.
