過去歷史地理學的研究缺少從性慾特質的分析面向，因此本研究透過參與觀察、訪談與媒體的資料，試圖建構出1960到2001年間高雄愛河畔男「同志」性慾地景的變遷歷程。這段地景史主要可以分成冷戰時美軍駐臺所產生的色情產業下，男「同志」與娼妓共享活動空間的「與異性戀性慾地景共生期」；形成固定聚集場所後的「以公司[feb4]為核心的自立門戶期」；及都市更新與景觀再造後，活動空間與網路遭破壞以致被迫到處遷移的「流浪期」三個階段。由這樣流動的性慾地景中我們發現，在地邊陲的性慾主體在都市發展與政治局勢的變化下對於空間的適應力與彈性。

Historical Geography has neglected the dimension of sexuality; therefore, this research tried to use participatory observation, interviews and media accounts to construct the changing process that shaped the landscapes of sexuality along the Love River in Kaohsiung from 1960 to 2001. This changing process of landscape can be divided into three stages: “co-existence with prostitution” when local female sex workers shared space with ‘gay’ men during the Cold War; “independence with ‘gay’ office” when local ‘gay’ men began to have their place exclusively at night; “diaspora” when local ‘gay’ men were forced to move because of urban renewal and landscape re-planning. This research found from the fluid landscape of sexuality that locally marginalized sexual subjectivities were empowered with quick adaptation and flexibility to space under urban development and political changes.
