The preservation and revitalization of old Japanese buildings in Nantou

The teachers’ dormitory in Nantou High School was built during Japan’s occupation of Taiwan and holds many memories for locals. The building is located in the center of Nantou with parking spaces and parks nearby. From the perspective of overall regional development, connecting the neighboring areas of Nantou Country Culture Park, NCCP (南投郡武德殿) and the century-old Lantian Academy of Classical Learning（藍田書院) deserves proper local planning.

It is hoped that the government will work to preserve cultural assets and regenerate the area through the transformation of local sites. By promoting NGO participation and the presence of arts and cultural groups, we can revitalize such spaces with cultural and social elements to reenergize the local neighborhood. At the same time, this will help to build a consensus in the community to make the preservation of cultural assets a local feature of Nantou.

南投日式舊建築保留與活化

南投高中教師宿舍建造在日治時期，對許多在地人而言是啟蒙的回憶。此處位在南投市中心有停車空間、公園綠地，以整體區域性發展觀點而言，透過連結鄰近的南投郡武德殿、藍田書院南投百年市場，整體環境值得地方妥善規劃。

期望政府能致力於保存文化資產，藉由場域的改造、並透過地方創生及促進民間參與與藝文團體進駐等方式途徑，進行地方再生，以人文與社會元素進行空間活化，重現街區活力。同時也可凝聚地方共識，成為南投在地特色共同維護相關文化資產。
