AbstractOpen space in Taipei's central district, which constitute the study area, is scarce - average open space area 'is 1 .0 square meter. The purpose .of this study is to suggest an open-space preservation proposal which can be adopted by the Taipei Municipality to remedy the open-space scarcity. Basically this study is a library research study. The literature pertaining to open-space preservation in America, Britain and Taiwan are examined to formulate the suggested proposal. Possible preservation techniques never used in Taipei are introduced an d modified to fit with existing techniques. Amendments to existing techniques are also suggested. The open-space preservation proposal thus formulated comprises three parts: utilization of potential open space, financial measures, and legal measures. Utilization of potential open space can offer substitute open space to meet at least part of the people 's immediate demand in heavily built-up areas. Legal measures are needed in still vacant or semi-vacant areas to develop these areas with inclusion of adequate open space. Financial measures are involved whenever an open-space preservation technique is used. In order to illustrate how the proposal can be applied in the study area, an example of the application of it is shown at the end of this study.
