日治初期基隆築港調查委員會之研究

The Commission of Keelung Harbor Construction in the Early Japanise Colonial Period

明治28年（1895）日軍尚在平定臺灣反抗勢力時，首任總督樺山資紀即認為基隆港將作為臺灣與日本之間的重要聯絡港，須儘快施以築港工程，向內閣爭取經費，促成基隆築港調查委員會的設立。軍方色彩濃厚的築港調查會，自明治29年（1896）設立，陸續進行各種港灣試驗與測量，將基隆港定調為軍港為主，商港為輔的築港政策。在明治31年（1898）調查尚未結束時，調查會被總督兒玉源太郎以「改正築港事業方針」為由廢止，築港調查移交至土木課負責。基隆築港委員會所擬定的築港方針，與日後總府督府推行的築港政策卻大不相同。本文嘗試以官方檔案及相關報導，爬梳整理過去被忽略的基隆築港調查委員會之成立過程、組成以及調查成績，並探索日治初期環繞基隆築港的相關問題，進而分析基隆築港調查委員會存廢之意義。

When Japanese armies suppressed opposition forces in 1895, the first TaiwanGovernor Sukenori Kabayama considered that Keelung Port was the important harborbetween Taiwan and Japan, and it must been built as soon as possible. He tried to securefunding from the Japanese Cabinet, advanced to set up the Commission of KeelungHarbor Construction. In 1896, the Commission of Keelung Harbor Construction wasinstituted, and carried a variety of port investigation and measurement out. At this time,the Keelung Port was planned as a naval port for priority, and commercial port forsecondary. In the reason for 'correct construction of the port business policy', theCommission was stopped by the Governor Kodama Gentaro in1898, whichinvestigation was not over yet. Investigation affairs were handed over to the CivilDivision. The Commission proposed by Keelung Harbor Construction policy was verydifferent with the future construction of the port. This paper is based on officialdocuments and newspapers, and magazines written. I will organize the ignored historyof the Commission of Keelung Harbor Construction, Include the setting, compositionand survey results, and moreover to explore around the issues of Keelung HarborConstruction in the early Japanese colonial period, then analyzes the significance ofCommission’s retention and abolition.
