眷村是台灣在1949年到1960年期間,中國大陸各省的中華民國國軍與其眷屬在國共內戰失利後,隨著中華民國政府遷徙來台,在台灣由國家統籌為他們興建或分配的居住空間。隨著落地生根後,漸漸的榮民與軍眷所搭建之大範圍違建,亦被認定為眷村的一部分。眷村在使用上對其居民來說只有建物與地上物的使用權,並無房屋所有權,也不用繳納稅金或相關稅金,這種異質的空間結構與居住模式隨著社會變遷、經濟發展、人口成長等因素,加上都市土地不足使之成為都市更新著手的地方。 目前眷村保存再利用方面偏重於文化方面的保存,未能與都市發展整合,是造成保存之眷村難以活化再利用原因之ㄧ。近年來台灣大力推動「閒置空間再利用」與「文化創意產業」,但法規對於公有的空間在使用上較無彈性,使得再利用後容易淪為再一次閒置,僵化的保存再利用制度,侷限空間機能的可能性。本計劃希望能在保存歷史空間與再利用找到一平衡點,使得眷村的保存與都市共生,而不再是都市中閒置空間和土地。
Military dependents’ villages have been in existence in Taiwan for 50 years, which record the social progress of Taiwan from a country of poverty and backwardness to a wealthy and prosperous one. As a transition period, occasional presence, or a part of authorized history, the existence of military dependents’ villages enriches the culture in Taiwan and also affects the entire development of modern history in Taiwan. In the beginning of the 21st century, various countries in the world have gradually discovered that in the modern society developed by capitalism, urban progress has gradually eroded local and cultural legacies, and what a country is going to lose is not only the valuable assets from ancestors, but also its local and cultural characteristics. In current society, economic prosperity is no longer subject to the development of technology and information, and the greatest asset of a country should be its abundant culture and history.We use the re-use techniques to extend the life of military dependents, and expects to achieve symbiosis with the surrounding community.
