Introduction to urban correction during the Japanese occupation period

In Taiwan Province Province, urban rectification refers to the urban development plan formulated by the Governor General of Taiwan Province Province from 65438 to 0899 for large and small cities in Taiwan Province Province. Later, the city rectification plan was renamed as "city plan". In the early days of Japanese occupation, the construction of the Governor's Office of Taiwan Province Province paid more attention to emergency health engineering and military defense construction. 1899 In August, the Governor's Office of Taiwan Province Province adopted five-year construction plans for several major cities in Taiwan Province Province, which was called "the first urban consolidation". The plan mainly focuses on the improvement of old roads and the planning of new roads. Taking Taipei as an example, the plan is drawn up to demolish the wall of Taipei and build Ximending as a new Japanese immigrant residence. 190 1, the Governor's Office issued the second announcement of urban rectification plan. In addition to Taipei, the focus shifted to Taichung. The planning implementation area is outside the south gate and near the east gate of Taipei, and the surrounding areas such as Taichung Station are also developed. These two rectification plans focus on the improvement of ditches and foundation roads, with the aim of coping with new immigrants from Japan. Under the correction of these urban areas, a large number of Japanese and Taiwan Province people were accommodated in the form of immigrant villages. /kloc-0 made a relatively complete urban revision in August, 905, including not only the second largest city at that time-Tainan and other big cities, but also the design of population capacity. By the end of 19 17, there were 20 urban streets and villages in Taiwan Province province undergoing urban renovation. Including the renamed urban plan, the Governor's Office of Taiwan Province Province has implemented urban renovation in more than 70 cities in Taiwan Province Province. These master town plans, called urban rectification, have had a far-reaching impact on local construction in Taiwan Province Province. Up to now, many towns in Taiwan Province Province continue to implement the urban rectification plan drawn up at that time. Public Health Because a large number of Japanese soldiers died of infectious diseases during the Second World War, the colonial authorities have been concerned about the public health situation in Taiwan Province Province. In the early days of Japanese occupation, the Governor's Office of Taiwan Province Province set up health clinics in various parts of Taiwan Province, and invited doctors from Japan to treat diseases to curb the outbreak of infectious diseases. However, the medical system focusing on public health and small health centers has completely reduced the incidence of malaria, plague and tuberculosis instead of building large hospitals. In fact, this medical system didn't change gradually until after1980s. In terms of hardware facilities, the Governor's Office carried out many public health projects, such as hiring an Englishman William K. Burton to design tap water and sewers in Taiwan Province Province. In addition, measures such as widening streets, setting arcades and compulsory cleaning in spring and autumn, opening windows at home to facilitate air circulation, forcing patients to be transferred to isolation hospitals and preventing injections are also helpful to public health. In addition, in order to lay a solid foundation, the Taiwan provincial government started with public health education. On the one hand, we rely on the public school education system and the police force to teach the people of Taiwan Province the concept of health, so that the general public can have the concept of modern health. On the other hand, the Institute of Tropical Medicine was established in Imperial University of Taipei, and the system of continuing education for nurses was established. This plan has trained many public health medical talents and increased the opportunities for public health research and improvement in Taiwan Province Province.
