-- Managing Traditional Temples A Case Study of Representative Temples in CHIA-YI
i
Abstract This research used the methodology of field study historical comparative research, and qualitative interview method. The reason that we choose traditional temples in Chiayi city is due to the connection of historic characteristics to the development of Chiayi in earlier period. Taiwan is a typical immigration society. Observing the history of Han nation, ancient people have to pass through Taiwan Strait and must survive among the original mountain forest. Under the lack of medicine supply, infectious disease and epidemic happen quite often. Uncertainty of political factor and unable to get along with aborigine and ethnic group etc. are major problems that all ancient people have to face. The traditional religious faith becomes the invisibly most important domination strength of the Han nation. When the ethnicity population arrive a certain amount of time, properties were accumulated and so temples were build. The temple is becoming a regional faith center. Te mples are the most important public space in the settlement. So the temples are the center of public business in early days and having influential in the settlement. However, when Taiwanese political system changed, the public business function of the temples is hence reduced. The research shows the types of god in the traditional popular believers and various religious rites. Detailed review about the historical movement with traditional belief in the early days is revealed. Also, sorting the literature of Chiayi traditional temples and history data, and analyzing their management thinking could help traditional temples to find out a suitable method to run the temple in the future. Key words: templ immigration society, traditional believers ii
