1895 年「日軍攻台之役」是台灣近代史上的大事，由於日軍主帥北白川宮能久親王在此役中死於台南，日本殖民政府將其神格化，保留北白川宮能久親王進軍沿線居住與停歇之建物、以及攻台重要戰役的發生地點，設置紀念碑、御遺跡所或神社加以紀念；日治時期並將前述紀念場域指定為史蹟，並列入觀光旅遊的景點規劃。 1945 年臺灣光復後，國民政府將日人遺留的紀念碑與紀念建築加以改造或毀棄，「日軍攻台之役」相關的歷史證物也一併遭到湮沒。近年隨著社會風氣的開放，部分「日軍攻台之役」相關紀念碑也重新出土。2008 年「1895」電影的上映，獲致社會大眾熱烈的迴響，更重新喚起國人認識先民抵抗日軍攻台、捍衛家園的悲壯歷史。本研究係以「1895 年日軍攻台之役」四條行軍路線為對象，蒐集史料文獻加以解讀，並藉由GIS 與GPS 的輔助，實地進行田野調查，建置研究對象的基礎資料。以翔實之考證為基礎，串連相關有形與無形文化資產，形成文化路徑。期能結合「文化」與「觀光」，透過「文化觀光」的操作模式，建構兼具觀光吸引力與文化資產教育性的紀念場域深度導覽環境。 The Japanese Invasion of Taiwan is one of the most important wars in Taiwan modern history.
