從地區發展歷程探討文化生活圈組構之研究—以苗栗大西村為例

Discussing the Composition of the Cultural Life Circuit through the Local Development Process– A Case Study of Da-si Village, Miaoli County

文化生活圈（cultural life circuit）為中層文化的表徵之一，可藉由其內部文化生活網絡（cultural life network）的彰顯以保存區域特色文化，並由日常生活行為模式的形塑，創造出呈現地方文化特色的空間網絡，建立穩固的生活模式與環境。進而成為維護地方日常文化生活穩定運行，及保有區域多樣性文化的關鍵。本研究以苗栗縣造橋鄉大西村為例，分析其地區發展歷程，輔以文獻調查、現地訪談等研究方法，探討文化生活圈 (cultural life circuit)的組成要素，及其與生活路徑(daily life path)及文化空間節點之關係。研究發現：
1. 文化生活圈受到生活路徑的強度與文化空間節點影響，並與兩者具有相互作用之關係。
2. 文化生活圈在發展到一段時期後，會趨於穩定。地區發展與生活路徑的強度隨之減弱，而生活類生活圈則成為主要運作中心。
3. 越是多項不同類型文化生活圈的重疊處，越是區域的發展中心，且具有可持續性。
4. 文化生活圈中至少具有一個文化空間節點。文化空間節點的存在，可以穩固生活圈，保持其運行的動力。當區域內的某一文化空間節點消失，常會產生新的節點來替代，以延續生活圈運作。

Cultural life circuit represents the middle culture, and it enhances and save local culture characters by maintaining interior culture life network. It also can create space networks that contain local culture characters by forming daily life behaviour model, and forming a stable living model and environment. Furthermore, it can be the key point to support the operation of daily life steadily, and to keep diverse local culture.This research analyses the development process of Da-si village, Zaoqiao Township, Miaoli County, and the analysis is assisted by documentary investigation and field research to discuss the composition of cultural life circuit, and its relationship of daily life path and cultural space node. The research finds out,
1. Cultural life circuit is affected by the intensity of daily path, and cultural space node, and it has interactive rela-tionship with them.
2. On the end of development, the develop will become stable and the intensity of daily path also decline. Further-more, the daily life cultural life circuit will be the main operation centre.
3. The area of more overlap area of different culture life circuits (industry, daily life and nature), the more important where the region is and is more stable.
4. All type of culture life circuits has at least one main cultural space node, which can firm the operation of cultural life circuit. Moreover, as soon as one node disappears there will be another new one show up to support the oper-ation of the cultural life circuit.
