日治時期臺南市「社會經濟—都市空間」變遷，整體而言是一段指向現代經濟的過程，但愈趨近細節，愈難斷然的使用「現代化」這個概念加以敘述。變遷縱使已經「指向」現代經濟，但既有的「經濟—空間」結構卻仍相當穩固。在第四章、歷史敘事裡，本研究首先呈現一個相對靜態的結構，但也在動態的結構化過程中分析「現代化」的具體影響。其次，在這個「既存與現代」重層的「經濟—空間」結構裡，本研究「看見」一般人的日常生活中，同時內涵了既存不變的傳統，與殖民、現代化下的變化。最後透過「夾縫空間」這個概念，詮釋殖民現代性裡謀生活動所隱含的可能性，以構成一個對「社會經濟—都市空間」變遷的整體認識。
想要全面地看見、呈現歷史事實，必須以相當的研究方法作為前提。第三章、研究方法的深化首先以「歷史敘事方法」說明歷史敘事的內在邏輯如何透過邊緣歷史的不斷述說而修正。在這個方法論基礎上，逐一看見的不同層面的歷史事實可以檢驗並且被整合在敘事之中。進而，本文在臺灣建築史聚落研究脈絡裡提出「地方研究中的區域尺度與聚落/建物尺度」的架構，銜接鉅觀的政經史與微觀的傳記故事。在這個架構裡，研究使用了官方統計資料、地籍圖，民間的人名錄等史料，並結合地理資訊系統的視覺化和空間分析功能，明確重現並整合各層面的變遷。
在深化研究方法之前，也在看見歷史事實之後，一個更基本的、以之詮釋歷史的「弱勢者觀點」在第二章、文獻回顧中的理論閱讀後提出。這個觀點派生自多元現代性與後殖民研究，前者提示了「日常生活」在反覆與沉悶之外還隱含著的「機會」；後者則進一步觀照相對而言被「視而不見」、較少進入視野的邊際的歷史。人都是不同程度的弱勢者，把握機會在夾縫空間中謀生，回應總體結構的變遷。透過這個觀點，本研究也銜接、跨越了在生活經驗中察覺的歷史與當下、歷史研究與日常生活之間的斷裂。
當「謀生活動」成為研究課題，第一章、緒論的時空範圍釐清研究對象，從一個斷代的行政區轉向人在這座城市、實質環境中生活的實情與實相。最後，第五章、結論分別敘明三個研究目的，亦即提出一人文學科的理論觀點以看待歷史、建立社會科學式的方法以看見歷史，並且書寫一段具內在一致邏輯的歷史敘事。而位在上述三者之核心的，是往復在研究及其所鑲嵌的生活之間的建築史聚落研究，一種不斷反省經驗的取徑。

This research narrates the socioeconomic-spatial transformations of Tainan City from 1895 to 1945. Ordinary people, the in-between space where and subsistence productions how they lived their everyday life in this urban settlement to react to the macro political-economic structuration are emphasized to approach the totality of history and society. To view these visible but unseen people, the perspective of the vulnerabless echoed theoretical reading, researching methods to analyze empirical historical facts, and historical narrative with inherent coherent logic are separately illuminated in chapter two, three, and four but integrated in the historical narrative.
In chapter two, ‘the perspective of the vulnerabless’ is developed to review history. The reading of multiple modernities and postcolonial theories lead my concerns to the potentiality and resistance in ordinary people’s daily practice. Here the concepts ‘subsistence production’ and ‘in-between space’ are emphasized to be investigated in history.
In chapter three, to visualize historical facts, the ‘local study with scale of region and settlement/building’ is set to point out the mezzo history to articulate macro structural eventful history and micro bibliography first. Secondly, geographic information system (GIS) is applied for analyzing historical material. By these researching methods and tools, the unseen becomes intellectually recognisable and physically visible.
In chapter four, first, the public constructions of government and private investments are narrated as the modern-economy-oriented structuration of Tainan City. Further, this structuration sheds light on the gap between original/traditional structure and modernization where the everyday life of ordinary people exists. Secondly the empirical performance about how ordinary people earned their livelihood on the substantive streets and lanes are viewed. Therefore a two-layer socioeconomic-spatial structure is revealed. Finally, I focus on the vividly visible but colonially unseen street life of ordinary people. The story displays the continuity endogenous within history and society. Since everyone is vulnerable to some extent, the dichotomous history awaits more researches to decentralize it.
