Abstract
To provide a new opportunity to the declining Chung-Cheng Commercial Area, I interviewed some local residents and consumers, and combined their opinions and thoughts with my own living experiences in traditional Tainan city. By collecting feedbacks or statements from different people and races, I came to understand what does the interviewee want to do, what to think , and how they live. The process help me, as a researcher, gain, understand and explain the acquaintance of Chung-Cheng Commercial Area from interviewees to define a new thinking perspective for the area.
The thesis found out three initial cognitions for the boundary of a commercial area by interviewing, including (1) Space cognition of history (2) Space cognition of commercial activities/behavior (3) Space cognition of perception. I used these to analysis Chung-Cheng Commercial Area mentioned above.
The study found that the geographical boundary has relations to the process of people’s cognition. This cognition includes history, consumer behavior and sensation, and we can consolidate them to define a boundary. Therefore, the observation of Chung-Cheng Commercial Area should start from space cognition so that we can transcend the original concepts and limits. Furthermore, we can break the myth of Commercial Area, design in a “de-Commercial Area” way, and eventually understand it in a new perspective.
