文化景觀作為文化資產的一種類型，在《文化資產保存法〉中已規定得透過劃定保存區之方式進行保存維護，然而其劃定與後續操作之方式，並無法完全滿足不同類型之文化景觀在保存、管理、維護之需求。本研究首先對於文化景觀之特質，以「人」「事」「地」「物」四個面向加以分析，而「時」為貫穿其中的一個因子，並且指出文化景觀的保存維護，與古蹟或歷史建築之保存維護，其最大差異在於「人」與「事」的管理方向之不同。其次則以現有台灣之法規，可能應用於文化景觀之保存維護方式加以探討，分別是計畫中的特別分區、獨立之計畫區域規劃、及透過不同法規達成保存目的之保存區等三種類型，提出其應用之文化景觀類型及潛在之問題等議題，進行討論。

The cultural landscape is one category of cultural heritage. According to the ＂Cultural Heritage Preservation Act＂, in order to maintain cultural landscapes and preserve their environments and landscapes, the conservation area for a cultural landscape can be drafted and enforced. However the criteria and implementation of planning of the area according to the law does not fully fulfill conservation and management requirements of different types of cultural landscapes. In this study, features of cultural landscapes will be analyzed from the aspect of ＂people＂, ＂operation＂, ＂site＂, and ＂elements＂, which altogether will be connected through ＂time＂. It is also argued that the conservation of cultural landscape is different from that of monuments due to different management concepts of ＂people＂ and ＂operation＂. Further, under the current system of law, possible conservation area systems in Taiwan for cultural landscapes will be discussed, namely ＂the special zone in the plan＂, ＂the independent conservation area＂, and ＂the conservation area subjected to different laws＂. Suitable categories of cultural landscapes and possible problems within these three schemes will also be analyzed.
