As an industrial site often represents the characters and resources in a region, there are many coal mining towns developed in the northern part of Taiwan because of its rich coal mines. But due to the small size and discontinuity of the coal seams, the mining areas develop differently in each region. As the coal mining industry has been depleted since the sixties, many coal mining towns have to face the transition. The usage of land in mining areas changes due to urban development, thus nowadays most mining areas are disappeared.
This article takes Hai-Shan Coal Mine in Tucheng District as an example, studying how this region had turn into a popular investment spot due to the policy under the Japanese rule,Yamamoto Coal Mine stood out during this time, as it was planned to be merged into the biggest mine in Tucheng. The mine was renamed after the war and remained as one of the most important coal-producing areas in Taiwan. It has outstanding performances in output, mining technology and space planning aspects. But due to the change of energy structure, open market and mining disasters, the Hai-Shan Coal Mine was shut down eventually. Previously there are seldom concepts about preserving industrial heritage, additionally the private property rights are more complex, therefore the land and buildings of Hai-Shan Coal Mine were sold and demolished by the owner. This leads to the disappearance of its original mining sites and space characteristics. Through this case, the difficulty and problems of preserving a mining site on the urban outskirt are discussed.
