A Topological Analysis of Movements and Activities in Settlement- A Case study of Dali Settlement in Toucheng Township, Yilan County

台灣許多農漁村聚落正進入社會與產業變遷的過程，居民的生活內容與聚落空間早已異於過往。空間型構理論(space syntax)是分析空間的量化方法，具有客觀與可操作等特性，然而若要理解小型聚落內真實的生活空間，量化模型需要與居民觀點的空間感知結合。 本研究使用空間型構理論的量化分析法試圖找出聚落的生活空間，探討聚落的空間拓樸結構。本研究認為「移動」與「活動」是影響動線的因子，並提出一套空間拓樸的建構方法與原則，研究目的為：(1) 找出影響聚落動線與空間變遷的因素；(2)以「移動」與「活動」概念建構空間拓樸結構，描述聚落動線；(3)探討拓樸分析結果與實際的空間經驗之間的相關性。 有別於型構理論以軸線空間等數理模型為動線指認的方法，本研究採以聚落居民實際行為作為動線建構的依據。研究結果顯示，本研究的拓樸分析能反應出聚落內局部整合的重要空間，這些空間可能不為馬路或廣場等明顯區域，而是居民頻繁使用的行走路徑；另外，與實際聚落生活內容對比後，顯示本研究的結果與聚落居民生活中的交通運轉空間與產業活動空間相符性高。本研究認為，聚落空間與動線的研究若以了解地方空間與生活為先，再透過數值量化模型的計算更能理解地方的空間內涵。Many rural settlements in Taiwan are experiencing a transforming process because of social and industrial development, which has changed their traditional lifestyle and space use. This research aimed at understanding the actual transformation of living spaces in a mini settlement by combining qualitative and quantitative approaches. Therefore, the research took Dali Settlement in Yi-Lan County as an example, setting three goals, and used several research methods described as follow. First of all, by collecting local conception and viewpoint from fieldworks, the research tried to find out the main factors affecting spatial transformation in Dali Settlement. Secondly, the topology and space syntax theory were introduced to study Dali’s spatial topology in terms of movements and activities. At last, the research discussed the relationship between the results from topological analysis and the actually spatial experiences. The research found that the topological analysis could reveal important spaces such as routes where residents frequently used. Furthermore, the results were also highly consistent with the actual movements and activities in residents’ daily lives. In conclusion, supported by qualitative data of local space uses and lifestyles, quantitative approaches could be applied to spatial study accurately and thoroughly
