空間觀念（Spatial Conception）是地理學的基本原理與核心觀念，因此地理學可說是一門「空間科學」，而「空間分析」（Spatial Analysis）即是地理學研究的重要方法之一。 日治時期的臺灣，殖民政府將傳統日本神道與政治結合成為一個新的宗教-「國家神道」，並將「神社」興建在各都市街庄內，使其成為醒目、壯麗且佔地相當廣闊的地標和信仰中心，配合其他的宗教政策，企圖取代臺灣百姓的傳統信仰。 本研究以「空間分析」的方法，探討日治時期「臺灣都市計畫令」（1936年）之實施，對於各地神社空間規劃的影響，發現在1936年之前的「市區改正」時期，常是先有神社的興建，才有「市區改正計畫圖」出現，但在該法令頒布後，則必須先於「都市計畫圖」中規劃妥神社的空間位置，之後才將神社按照都市計畫圖興建於聚落內特殊的空間位置上，這是二者的相異之處；而二者在神社的空間配置上有哪些特別的空間特性，都市的行政中心和神社之間有何種空間對應模式。

Spatial Conception is recognized as a main principle and core concept of Geography. As Geography is also a "Spatial Science", Spatial Analysis is one of the important methodologies applied to the related research. Taiwan in Japanese Authority, the colonial government has forced the combination of Jintou and political affairs, which is called national jintou. In city planning, "Jinjas" are built in every city block to make them landmarks. They are not only occupied in large ground, but also the belief centers. In coordination with other religious policies, Japanese is taking actions to replace Taiwan's traditional belief with Jintou. This research uses the approach of Spatial Analysis to study the effects brought by "Taiwan City Planning"(1936) on Jinjas' distribution in cities. And the result shows, in the City Correction period (before 1936), it is after the building of Jinjas, then the City Correction Planning Blueprint is announced. But after the Plan kicks off, Jinjas need to be drawn in the City Planning beforehand; and they will be built in a special location refer to the planning accordingly. These 2 approaches are quite different from each other. The locations of Jinjas in the City Planning are also related to some spatial characters. What kind of correspondence model is between the administration center and Jinja of a city.
