「如何從一處橫谷演變成今日的猴硐？」，本論文由此問題開始，探討地形對於人為活動的影響，更進一步從人文地理學的角度，來看待一個地方的人為地景與自然地景的交互作用。以猴硐為例，來理解台灣大部份城鎮中，原始自然地景與人造物相互影響、交織而成的地貌現況。而後，本研究以身體與附加物的比對方式，試圖釐清自然地景、人為地景在這片地貌中的角色為何；同時，藉由原始本體與附加物其關係的實驗，進一步討論人們藉由附加物來指認、認識原始本體的可能。「透過理解此地歷史與地理的相互影響，人們是如何認識這個地方？」，論文後半部試圖回答此問題。以猴硐為例，如何在一個地方加入新的附加物，發展以人文地理學為觀點、本體與附加物為方法的地方認識系統；其目的在於藉著新附加物與原始本體產生的新關係，進而指認原始本體的某種人文地理混雜的狀態。用以回答此摘要最初的問題，讓人看見、感知，關於一個地方的自然地景、人為地景是如何交織，進而演化至今的歷史進程。 “How do Houtong evolve from a valley to today's scenery ?" This paper begins from the issue of the impact on landform by human activities. Further, from the standpoint of Human Geography, it looks at the interaction between artificial landscape and the natural landscape of a place. This paper takes Houtong as an example to discuss the state which is interacted and intertwined by its natural landscape and the man-made objects in Taiwanese rural towns. . Then, taking the method of comparison human body and body’s attachments, it attempts to locate the role of the natural landscape and the artificial ones in a place. Furthermore, through the experiments of the new relationships between the original main body and its attachments, it wants to clarify the possibility of cognizing and identifying the main body through the attachments."How do people know a place through the interaction between history and landform?” The second half of the paper tries to respond this issue. Taking Houtong as an example continually, it attempts to add new attachments in Houtong, and through those attachments to develop a local cognitive system based on the method of Human Geography: as a view point, main body and it’s attachments. By recognizing the new relationship between the main body and attachments, It aims to identify the mixed status interacted and intertwined by artefacts and nature in Houtong.All the research and study are used to respond the initial issue in this paper. It provides a way for people to know how the natural landscape and the artificial landscape are intertwined together, and then how do a place to evolve from a natural landform to the scenery we look at today.
