Description
Summary:碩士 === 國立臺灣師範大學 === 工業教育學系在職進修碩士班 === 97 === Many schools in Taiwan are moving toward a learning environment of sustainable development. This study explores the century-old elementary schools in Taipei County, and investigates the issues of “restoration and conservation of ecological environments”, “sustainable building”, “energy saving and reduction of CO2 emission”, “healthy building”, “sustainable base”, and “resources recycling”. The main goals of the study include sustainable building—understanding the conservation of buildings in century-old elementary schools in Taipei County, investigating the conservation of antiquities, historic buildings, and relics, and analyzing the issues of conservation of historic buildings in the schools. There were 25 elementary schools, with over 100-years old history, participated in the current study. The qualitative method was applied with the involvements of general survey of the group, content analysis, and interviews. The analysis of the study focused on digesting the history of the century-old schools in Taipei County, compiling chronicles of important buildings, analyzing school buildings, interviewing related management personnel, and exploring the conservation and reuse of historic buildings and antiquities in the schools. The conservation and reuse of the buildings in century-old elementary schools in Taipei County are significant in the sustainability of culture and construction. The study explored and concluded the context and characteristics of the school buildings. The characteristics include campus arrangement, spatial functions, and facades and colors of the buildings. The management of sustainable campus has now taken roots in schools. Both the attitudes of school staff and the philosophy of school leaders can influence the sustainable development of schools. The diversity of campuses should be reserved, and the buildings, plants, and ecologies should also be respected. The antiquities and historic buildings in century-old elementary schools can present different cultural sustainability. It was concluded that the essence of development and implications of cultural inheritance cannot exist without proper antiquities or historic buildings in the campus.
