製作土地──日治時期旗美南隆地區的空間轉化

The Making of Land: The Spatial Changes of the Ci-Mei Nanlong Area under Japanese Rule

本文是有關空間轉化生成的研究，處理的是一個日治時期的地方空間──旗美南隆地區──的歷史社會變遷。文中將指出這個轉化關乎的是以日本殖民國家為中心的社會改造過程，是殖民者為了殖民地治理，而以科學治理的調查、測量和統計等方式進行殖民現代性營造，使其成為提供日本資本主義發展服務的空間手段與結果。包括像是原為原野地的南隆地區，在土地調查事業整理後被納入國家治理的轄域內，再藉由私有資本的引入，以接續的計畫性移墾作為殖民政策下的行動延伸。在經濟利益榨取的驅使下，伴隨著治水、水利與電力等工程計畫的導入製作並掌握土地資源，將即使是妾身未明，甚至是看不見的荒地使浮現而看見，並化成為可耕之地。之後，更藉由新設交通運輸與都市空間產生流通的聯繫。這樣的空間功能轉化，乃至於空間形式的變遷，可視為是殖民國家對地方社會實施特定統治的變化結果，其中也包括被支配者在這個變遷過程中對空間變遷的影響。南隆地區也在源起於帝國移植行動的空間部署過程中，被確立了政治連結、經濟依賴、社會重構與地景改造。

This article is a study on the transformation of space, taking Taiwan's Ci-Mei Nanlong area as an example to demonstrate the historical and social changes during the Japanese Occupation Era. The transformation mentioned in this article refers to the process of social transformation under Japanese colonialism. For the governance of the colony, the Japanese capitalist colonists used scientific governance surveys, measurements, and statistics to build colonial modernity. For example, the Nanlong area, which was formerly known as wild land, was brought into the jurisdiction of the state after the land survey and reorganization, and then through the introduction of private capital, the continuous planned reclamation was used as an extension of the colonial policy. Due to the drive of economic interests and the mastery of land resources, coupled with the introduction of water control, hydraulic and electric power engineering projects, the unidentified wasteland has been turned into arable land. The space and activities of the city are also connected and communicated because of the new transportation. Such a transformation of spatial functions, and even changes in spatial forms, can be seen as the result of changes in the specific domination of local society by the state. In the process of spatial deployment originating from the transplantation of the empire, the Nanlong area was also established with political connections, economic dependence, social reconstruction and landscape transformation.
