This paper proposes to investigate the conditions of the Earth
God Temples that serve as neighborhood temples in the urban area today. It
also looks into the social factors that affect the relationship between temples
and inhabitants in a neighborhood. In order to address these issues, I have
chosen two districts to make a comparative analysis. The two districts are
east (old urban area) and west (new center of finance, consumption and culture)
which differ distinctly in landscapes, features of area and structures of
population. By field research and interviewing with sixty heads of sub-districts
and thirty-two managers of Earth God Temples as well as comparing
practices of city planning (都市計畫) and population structure in these two
districts, we find there are still many Temples and worship zones in operation
in the urban area, but the model of operation is actually different from
that in tradition society. This is caused by two factors: the policy of government
and the change of population. The former changes not only the inhabitants’
local identity but also the distribution of the temples in the urban area.
The latter changes the social mobility of the inhabitants, and hence the interaction
between temples and inhabitants.
