This term, “Xin-Yi District ” is pronoun and adjective with meanings. This study interests in what are Xin-Yi District urban images from users’ perspectives, what factors cause of urban images, and what are differences between users and planners’ vision.
The domestic and foreign city/ urban image studies in the past usually emphasized the factor of visable space, but lacked for discussing the relations between construction of urban image and other factors, including substantive space and non- substantive space. This study will analyze what are urban images in Xin-Yi District and factors by questionnaire and interview with three type of users.
There are two obvious images in Xin-Yi District, including “Consumer Entertainment Center ” and “Mansion Village ”. The most obvious image, consumer entertainment center constructed by substantive space and non- substantive space at the same time. That is the unique construction, identity and entertainment activities in commercial space are important impact factors. On the other hand, although users lack for experiences of high-quality housing area, users are JUST effected by media which spread unusual high-quality life style, famous inhabitant, those meanings cause Mansion Village to be secondary obvious image. Nevertheless, the early planning vision, “Financial / Business Center “ and “Political Center” are not agreed by users.
The result of study show that one place existences several images, and the image contexts can be different because of complicated impact factors. When Xin-Yi District follow trend of urban globalization, obvious images have important relationship with consumer priorities and gentrification, urban plannings need to reflect on it. For a unique urban in Xin-Yi District, it sould enhance depth culture or it will face to challenge from other new urban in the future.
