眷村文化保存與再利用策略之探討－－以左營明德新村為例

Study on the Culture Preservation of Military Village and Its Reuse Strategy – A Case of Ming De Village in Zuoying

眷村是台灣社會特有的集體居住型態，記載著特定族群的生活方式、生命經驗和價值觀，更是多元族群融合的展現，為台灣珍貴的文化資產。然而，自從「國軍老舊眷村改建條例」的立法與實施後，國內眷村一一面臨被拆除的命運；為了保留快速消失的眷村文化，政府與民間相關團體已推動眷村文化保存多年，但各界對於眷村文化保存依然有不同的看法，眷村文化保存工作的施行仍遭遇許多的困難，各地區眷村文化保存的成效也因做法而有顯著差異。左營明德新村不但為南台灣歷史最悠久、區塊最完整之海軍特色眷村，還具有空間型態多元與景觀元素豐富等特質，因而登錄為文化景觀予以保存。可是歷時至今，其後續發展卻遲遲未有進展。因此，本研究旨在分析左營明德新村保存的現況，藉由實地訪查深入了解左營明德新村的實際環境與保存現況，並以訪談的方式彙整各方對於左營明德新村保存與再利用的看法與未來發展的意見；最後以地方居民的角度，研擬左營明德新村保存與再利用之發展策略與建議，期望能為左營明德新村的活化保存與再利用提供規劃與執行之參考。

Military-Dependents’ Village is a complex built by the KMT government as a way to accommodate its solders migrating along with it back in 1945 This complex contains special histories and backgrounds. It also represents a unique way of group living which records particular lifestyles, experiences, and values belonging to certain tribes. Military-Dependents’ Village as a result stands for a fusion of multi-cultures and gradually develops a heritage precious to Taiwan. However, due to the implementation of the “Act for Rebuilding Old Quarters for Military Dependents”, many villages faced the fate to be torn down. In order to help the fast disappearing Village cultures, the government cooperating with social and cultural organizations has been devoting to the preservation of these cultures for years. Yet, due to different opinions and comments on the preservation of Village cultures, difficulties and obstacles lie in the way of efforts to any achievements. The results of these efforts have distinguished among villages launching different strategies. Ming De Village in Zuoying - with the longest village history in southern Taiwan, an intact Navy background, and an array of natural resources - is accordingly labelled as a cultural heritage preserved and protected by the government. With a promising beginning to preserve this complex, the progress nevertheless has been dragging on so far to people’s dismay. This research aims at analyzing the progress of preserving Ming De Village. By using field research and face-to-face interviewing, we have a thorough understanding of the preservation progress in Ming De Village. In comparison with the primary research results on preservation and re-use of Shengli Village in Pingtung and Shuijiao Cultural Park in Tainan, comprehensive strategies are defined regarding the case of Ming De Village. An intensive study of these three villages - Ming De Village in Zuoying, Shengli Village in Pingtung , and Shuijiao Cultural Park in Tainan – assists in designing feasible plans with probable pros and cons. Through analyzing in-depth case studies, this research will hopefully submit proposals with hypothetical and attainable situations applicable to Ming De Village in Zuoying as well as will provide references for its future preservation and reconstruction.
