碩士 === 中原大學 === 建築研究所 === 105 === As an energy of mineral resources, coal-mining not only plays an important role of powering in many industries but is one of the inevitable powers in a country’s economic construction. Beside its geographical context, the coal-mining industrial heritage in Taiwan has a strong trait of colonial economy in historical development, especially as a transit for south advancing under Japanese rule. The geographical and historical contexts enrich the depth of industrial heritage in Taiwan. Beside its intrinsic value of history, culture, technology and science, the coal-mining industrial heritage is seen as an embodiment of promoting the modernization of Taiwan. However, there are still problems of difficulty in integrity of maintenance management and resource application, over tourism, similar activities, lack of community involvement, and cultural inheritance. As a result, in order to show the intrinsic value and transfer the “local knowledge”, the study suggests a strategy of networking to promote the coal-mining industrial heritage in Taiwan. Currently, the coal-mining industrial heritage in Taiwan is mostly preserved originally or reused individually. However, there’s no outstanding result. Therefore, learning from domestic and abroad cases of reuse projects, the study suggests a strategy of networking to integrate coal-mining industrial heritage resources, expecting to achieve the beneficial results of integrated maintenance, integrated marketing, promotion of public involvement and inspiring regional development by means of industrial heritage in this area. The study uses documentary analysis and field research to produce the distribution diagram of coal-mining industrial heritage in Hou-tong, Shi-fen, and Jing-tong as well as integrating resources in these 3 areas. We hope to construct the core value and operation designs of coal-mining industrial heritage network as another mode of reuse for every industrial heritage in Taiwan, additionally, to promote more networking of other industrial heritage.
