碩士 === 臺南藝術學院 === 古物維護研究所 === 92 === Abstract This study consists of an assessment of the Architectural Drawing “Makung’s Urban District Development Plan” before, during, and after conservation, and of the conservation process and method of packing and shipment. The map is a 1:1000-scale blueprint mounted as a scroll. It is 132cm in height and 140cm in width, and contains Chinese text (some in Japanese) and official seal impressions. Produced in 1937, it is the urban development and spatial layout planning map for the city of Makung during the latter stage of Japanese occupation. Apart from assessing the source and historical background of the " Makung’s Urban District Development Plan," this study also examines the map''s type and annotations, the blueprint production process, and other historical aspects. To thoroughly explore the map''s origin and production, the study also performs a comparison of this blueprint and relevant hand-drawn design drafts and blueprint drafts. Among the tasks undertaken prior to conservation were registration and examination, photography of the existing map, spot test and analysis, and formulation of conservation treatment suggestions and preservation recommendations. After the collector had signed the conservation treatment proposal, the conservation process was implemented in accordance with plans, and textual and pictorial records were kept. The conservation process included surface cleaning, tape removal, backing removal, mending, humidification and flattening, and water stain reduction. After the conservation work had been done, a blueprint copy was made so that it can be displayed on a long-term basis by the collector and the condition of the original blueprint can be kept stabilized. The textual and pictorial records of the conservation process were sent together with the map to the collector for reference and archival purposes. As for packing and shipping quality, the study recorded the actual handling procedures for the map and also performed a thorough survey of packing and shipping principles, including relevant professional packing and shipping guidelines.
