| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立成功大學 === 建築學系碩博士班 === 101 === Taiwan, located at the junction of the Eurasian Plate and the Philippine Sea Plate, is in an earthquake-prone region. At 1:47 on September 21, 1999 occurred an earthquake measuring 7.3 on the Richter scale. Dubbed the 921 Earthquake, it was caused by the activities of two active faults—the Chelungpu and the Damaopu-Shuangdong. In the wake of the earthquake, the severe dislocation of the surrounding land caused widespread damage to everything along the faults, including roads, irrigation facilities, power facilities, public buildings, and houses.
This study investigates how the destroyed buildings have been restored or reconstructed in terms of the rebirth and reuse of the land in the past 13 years since the earthquake. The investigation covers public buildings along the Chelungpu Fault, Wufeng, Taichung to the north and Jhushan, Nantou County to the south. The focus is on the space recovery in the four public buildings selected and its implications.
This study is divided into five chapters. The first chapter explains its purpose and motivation, determines its scope, establish the research framework and research methods, and start discussion. The second chapter is a literature review, covering the topics of how the government dealt with its people after the natural disaster and how both space recovery and psychological recovery of victims were started, and a representation of the corresponding theories derived from the space reshaping after the disaster, namely “creativity”, “monumentality” and “education”. The third chapter is an in-depth discussion of the selected four public buildings, respectively The 921 Earthquake Education Park, The National Technology Research and Development Center, The 921 Thanksgiving Memorial Park and The Chelungpu Fault Protection Zone” from north to south, and a comparison of base conditions before and after the earthquake as well that of the variations resulting from space recovery involved in the four cases. The fourth chapter compares the issues arising from the post-disaster space recovery with those involved in the cases of the selected four public buildings in terms of “creativity”, “monumentality” and “educationality”. The fifth chapter is a summary of what is dealt with in the first four chapters, a discussion of how specialists will deal with the reuse of post-disaster space, and, finally, a summary of the problems arising from the long journey of space recovery after the earthquake and their implications.
This study helps us learn that there exist the hidden values behind post-disaster space recovery and reuse.
