入土為安，一直是中國人多年以來的傳統與依歸。在地狹人稠，地價高漲的台灣，「墓園」於農村隨處可見，不僅透露著當地習俗外，從墓園細部圖樣來觀察，可發現該家族背景與地位等訊息，是早年台灣特殊的「道路景觀」。近年來隨著殯葬模式的轉變，土葬不再是唯一選擇，這也直接影響到傳統土葬墓園的面積及使用率，漸漸的許多土葬墓園開始荒廢、減少。本研究將現存的彰化地區墓園進行調查與記錄，並依據國內外以往文獻及開發的實際案例，以客觀方式蒐集各方意見提出殯葬服務機能、休閒遊憩機能與公共服務機能三大發展方向，並細部擬定規劃與設計準則作為墓園景觀分析及後續發展、管理建議之參考。

”Burial brings peace to the deceased” has always been a Chinese tradition and belief in Taiwan, a country with narrow land, dense population and skyrocketing land prices, cemeteries are still common sights. In addition to revealing the local customs, by observing the detailed patterns in a cemetery, one can also discover information such as family background and social positions etc; this was a unique roadside landscape in early Taiwan. With the shift in funeral customs, burial is no longer the only choice, and this also has a direct impact on the land area and usage rate of traditional burial cemeteries. As a result, numerous burial cemeteries gradually began to be dilapidated and reduce in surface area. The study intends to conduct a survey and document the existing cemeteries in the Chang-hua area. In addition to literature and actual case studies from cemetery developments, where opinions from all parties are gathered objectively and used as a blueprint for cemetery landscape analysis and future development and management recommendations.
