文化資產維護計畫的濫觴：評介詹姆士‧克爾《維護計畫：具歐洲重要文化意義場所的維護計畫準備工作指南》

The Beginning of Cultural Heritage Conservation Plans: A Review of James Kerr's“Conservation Plan: A Guide to the Preparation of Conservation Plans for Places of European Cultural Significance”

臺灣的文化資產保存工作，近幾年遭遇到非常嚴峻的挑戰。其中，文化資產的管理與維護工作是一個非常重要的議題，但卻鮮少受到國內學術界的重視與討論。然而，當我們從「價值為本」（Value-based）的角度來看任何一處文化資產的場域，理論上每一個場域都應該要有獨特的價值維繫準則，或價值可能受到威脅的因應策略。這些面對「變化」的過程就是每一處文化資產場域應該要面對的管理維護課題，我們需要更嚴謹的面對這個挑戰。本文主要在於導讀與評論詹姆士.克爾，他在1980年代所撰寫的《維護計畫》一書，該書全名是：《維護計畫：具歐洲重要文化意義場所的維護計畫準備工作指南》，這本書在2017年春天首度翻譯為繁體中文版後，臺灣應該要開始嘗試從管理場域變化的角度思考文化資產管理維護的可能性。

Taiwan’s cultural heritage preservation has faced great challenges in the past few years, of which the management and maintenance work is one of the most important matters. However, it rarely attracts attention and discussion among domestic academics. When we view a domain in any part of the cultural heritage field from a value-based perspective, theoretically each domain should have its own unique value-keeping principle, or an adaptive strategy when facing threats. The process of facing the“shifting”domains is an important management and maintenance matter that all cultural heritage domains should face, and we should be more serious and strict regarding this challenge in the management system. This paper provides a critique and guide to reading the book“Conservation Plan: a guide to the preparation of conservation plans for places of European cultural significance”, written in the 1980s by James Semple Kerr (1932-2014). The book was translated into Traditional Chinese in 2017 by Book Spring, creating the opportunity for Taiwan to be more proactive when considering the management and maintenance of cultural heritage from the perspective of shifting domains management. The content of this book not only can provide great reference for many countries all over the globe, but it is also a good model for Taiwan’s monument maintenance mangers and organizations.
