從哨船頭、哈瑪星、鹽埕、到愛河，日治時期第一港口的開發為高雄港的發展奠定了關鍵基礎，而高雄市的市區建設也是依續從這三個地區擴大開展。然而為了港埠運作，為了水、陸轉運的整合，鐵道設施的舖設成了關鍵；它帶來貨物、人員、商機與繁榮，可是它的空間切割效果卻分化了哈瑪星與鹽埕區的發展。隨著第一港口的功能萎縮與放空閒置，台鐵高雄港線的切割效果卻更加強化、更箝制往高雄市最具歷史意義市區的發展。

事實上，這些鐵路用地擁有廣大土地幅員及區位關鍵，再加上基礎設施完整卻放空閒置的碼頭區；這裡是水岸都市高雄市最為優質的親水空間。它的重整、再開發不僅為高雄市的都市形象創造一個全新的風貌，為老舊市區的空間更新注入新的活水，更為歷史街區的發展帶來新的功能。因此，筆者選擇了這片土地；從都市更新的角度，為它勾勒出一個空間願景、一個都市設計方案。

為了讓都市設計方案能夠確實而緊密地與這個鹽埕區的都市實況契合；首先，筆者針對臺鐵高雄港站周邊地帶的都市現況
進行深入分析。其中包括了四方面:
一、高雄港站的位置與基地範圍
二、哈瑪星與鹽埕區的交通現況分析
三、哈瑪星與鹽埕區都市計劃土地使用分區分析
四、哈瑪星與鹽埕區市區建築開發現況調查
這些資料的調查與蒐集協助吾人深入了解這一區的實際狀況。

經過對這些基本資料的詳細分析後，筆者發現哨船頭、哈瑪
星、鹽埕區及第一港口的眾多碼頭都呈現出窳陋與發展不足的
現象。主要整理如下:
一、哈瑪星與哨船頭市區在交通上被箝制而發展落後
二、鹽埕區與高雄市主要市區被隔離，發展有斷層
三、高雄港站鐵路用地閒置，雜亂無章
四、第一港口主要碼頭區閒置亟待開發
五、水岸空間與市區隔絕

這些現象與問題造成了這一個歷史性市區嚴重老舊窳陋化與發
展不足。

老舊市區再生、老舊港埠活化在先進工業化國家有先例。它們的解決方案可以提供一個思維方向及整合設計思考。針對這些案例，筆者選擇了德國與荷蘭的三個港口都市的更新方案作為參考，即:
一.德國漢堡港城的更新實例
二.荷蘭阿姆斯特丹婆羅洲的更新實例
三.荷蘭鹿特丹更新實例
它們都是經過深思熟慮而且開發成功的案例值得吾人參酌。

在深入了解德、荷老舊港埠更新策略之後，筆者為這一個臺
灣最具代表性的老舊港埠市民擬具了整體性的都市設計構想
與解決策略；其中包括:
一.跨越愛河障礙置入新交通動脈連結兩岸市區
二.重新規劃閒置土地注入老舊市區發展新動能
三.導入公共設施與新商業功能啟動鹽埕再發展
四.運用港岸景觀資源創造優質親水市區
五.開發新型態住宅區帶動舊市區更新潮流
六.利用港岸碼頭區位優勢形塑高雄新都市形象

除了都市設計上的方案，筆者也針對方案中關鍵地帶的重點建築群進行實質空間設計；其中包含:
一.辦公建築群簇的規劃
二.連棟住宅社區的設計
三.核心廣場的空間設計
四.建築群簇的造形設計

透過系列性的、層次性的規劃與設計，筆者希望能夠具體地為這個老舊而跟不上時代發展的地區勾勒出一個可以理解、可以想像的遠景；並期待這個歷史市區在保有其既有文化資源的前提上繼續邁向另一個新世紀。

Summary
The first ports that were developed during the Japanese rule over Taiwan occurred from the Shaochuantou, Hamaxing, Yancheng to the Love River. Of these ports, the Port of Kaohsiung was one that laid a key foundation; and the urban construction of Kaohsiung also expanded and developed based on these three regions. However, integration of land transport and laying railway tracks are critical for harbor operations and the water; it brings about cargo, crew, opportunities and prosperity. However, the space divided up and differentiated the development of Hamaxing and Yancheng District. As the function of the first port declined and becames empty and unused, the division of the Kaohsiung railway line intensified and further suppressed the development of the most historical downtown of Kaohsiung.

Introduction
In fact, the railway covers a vast expanse of the land, and it is situated in key locations; coupled with a complete infrastructure yet vacant and unused docklands, this area is of utmost quality being close to the water in the Kaohsiung City Waterfront. Renovating and redeveloping this area will not only create a new image and style for Kaohsiung City, but the old downtown area would be rejuvenated, and the newly developed historical district would have new features. Therefore, the author has selected this piece of land and has made a case for urban design from a redevelopment perspective to sketch out their vision.
In order for the urban design case to be reliably and closely fitted with the scene in the Yancheng district, the author performed an in-depth analysis of the status of the Kaohsiung City Railway and its surrounding areas. Therein, four facets are included:
1.The location and base are of Kaohsiung station
2.Traffic status analysis of Hamaxing and yancheng District
3.The analysis of urban planning of land use and zoning in Hamaxing and Yancheng District.
4.Investigating the status of building development in downtown Hamaxing and Yancheng District.

The information from the investigation collected here will help the author understand the actual status in this area.
After a detailed analysis of the basic information, the author found that numerous docks in Shaochuantou, Hamaxing, Yancheng District and the first port were of poor quality and were underdeveloped. The main factors are listed as follows:

1. The traffic in Hamaxing and Shaochuantou is restricted and underdeveloped
2. The main urban areas in Yancheng District and Kaohsiung city is isolated and development has faults.
3. The land on which Kaohsiung Railway station is, is inactive and disorganized.
4. The main docking area of the first port is inactive and awaits development
5. The docklands and the urban areas are isolated from each other.

These phenomena and problems seriously deteriorates and causes underdevelopment of this historical city. Precedents for the rebirth of old city areas and activating old ports and harbors can be found in advanced industrialized countries. Their solutions can provide a line of reasoning and be integrated into the designs. Aimed at this case, the author selected three harbor cities in Germany and the Netherlands as references for the redevelopment. These are:

1.The redevelopment of Hamburg in Germany as an example
2.The redevelopment of Rotterdam in the Netherlands as an example
3.The redevelopment of Amsterdam in the Netherlands as an example
These are all successful cases worth considering after careful thought.
After an in-depth understanding of the strategies employed by Germany and the Nethelands on redevelopment, the author here presents the most representative urban design idea and strategies in Taiwan for old ports and harbors. This includes:

1.Overcoming the Love River obstacle by implementing new traffic that links the urban areas of the two harbors
2.Re-planning the vacant land and develop the old city area for new features
3.Import public facilities and start new business features for the redevelopment of Yancheng
4.Use the landscapes of the harbor as a resource to create a high-end water city
5.Develop new residential patterns to renew the trends in the old city area
6.Use the location of the docklands as an advantage in shaping the new image of the city of Kaohsiung
In addition to the urban design proposal, the author will also aim to incorporate essential space design for some of the key buildings in the key areas in the proposal. This includes:
1.Planning office buildings
2.Design residential townhouse areas
3.Design core sqaures and spaces
4.Design the styles of clusters of buildings

Through a series hierachical planning and design, the author hopes to outline an understandable and plausible vista for these old and out-of-date areas. And it is envisaged that this historical area retains its cultural resources and can continues forth into a new century.
