ABSTRACT The 228 Incident has now provided a 60 year long unbroken period of research that relates to reconstruction and contradiction of the history. Previously, academic research and analysis in this field have concentrated on questions of historical ethnicity, national identity and theories of social politics and phenomena, etc. With this research, the author will explore spatial aspects concerning the erection of these monuments, memorials parks with particular emphasis on their multifaceted historical meanings so that the conflicting narrative becomes entrenched in hidden elemental specificity. For example the causes for the genocide perpetrated, and their effects, which brought about very real suffering and severe ethnical tensions, have a large part to play in the thinking behind the erection of these monuments throughout Taiwanese society. This research mainly concentrates on 6 monuments which were erected in Taiwan close to the location of the historical events so that the actual physical relationship between the occurrences and the historical monuments are clear. The motivation for the erection of historical monuments was principally commemorative, followed by site selection and then actual building work. Somewhat less apparent are the consequences of the insertion of the monuments into the urban townscape and the resulting new emergent historical significance of the 228 Incident. This study has contributed on the notion of monuments as symbolic representations of memory transformations, together with their site selection process, which represent their roles in urban context and the new historical meanings that emerges from the whole process and it also form the principal stimulus of this work.
