Abstract

This paper seeks to clarify concretely the urban renewal of the surrounding area of Chau Tien Temple at Beigang by the Municipal Improvement Act during the Japanese colonial period in Taiwan. Its characteristics are as follows. 1) Rotary which was constructed around the temple in 1920 enlarged the precincts and the temple acquired the magnificent façade of three gates (Dragon Gate, Front Hall and Tiger Gate). 2) Development of the public retail market of Beigang which had been established in 1908 after the Great Chiayi Earthquake reinforced the commercial functions in front of Chau Tien Temple and changed its townscape. 3) Road widening of Gong-kou Street (main approach to the temple) in 1936 created the modern townscape which was unified in design by the continuous two-storied shop houses with Teng-a-kha (arcade).
