| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立臺北科技大學 === 建築與都市設計研究所 === 93 === For long we have failed to plan our urban open space for disaster prevention and disaster refuge. During the aftermath of the 921 Earthquake, nearly 100,000 people were forced to sleep in open spaces of parks and schools and endure inconvenience and discomfort. In order to avoid replay of such tragic events the government is planning to turn parks and greenbelts into potential disaster refuges. Issues pertinent to disaster-prevention parks begin to receive attention from scholars, government officials and the industry.
In 2001 Taipei City Government proposed the Implementation Plan for Large Disaster Refuges and Disaster-Prevention Parks That are Equipped with Life-Sustaining Functions. In September 2004 it completed the procedure for urban planning changes and in accordance with the contents of the Major Project to Change the Areas Surrounding Taipei City Military General Hospital proposed the establishment of Taipei City Southern District Disaster-Prevention Theme Park. Japan as a nation is similar to Taiwan. Like Taiwan, it suffers frequent attack of earthquakes. But Japan enjoys sound urban disaster-prevention systems and disaster refuges. Its concepts and standards related to disaster-prevention theme parks have been constantly referenced by scholars of Taiwan.
In addition to theoretic discourse, the planning of disaster-prevention parks involves implementation of physical arrangement. This study is divided into 2 phases. Phase 1 compiles and analyzes domestic rules, regulations and documentations, as well as Japan’s design standards and technical manuals pertinent to disaster-prevention park projects. All together, 18 principles are identified for planning of disaster-prevention parks. Based on the 18 planning principles Phase 2 involves planning of Taipei City Southern District Disaster-Prevention Theme Park in accordance with site conditions. Incorporating planning principles with site conditions, it presents the following planning concepts and completes an actual planning project: 1. “A self-sufficient, ecologically recycling entity.” 2. “An open space that accepts and accommodates.” 3. “An environmental showroom that has blended into our lives.” 4. “A lifeline that provides speedy life support.” 5. “Uninterrupted Sense of Security.”
Studies of Phase 2 reveal: 1. Physical planning of a disaster-prevention park requires encouragement of overall community enhancement and participation of local residents. 2. In accordance with planning requirements we need to examine if it is time for review and adjustment of current urban plans. 3. Existing adjacent buildings need to allow safety distance. If necessary, they are to be torn down and removed.
