The main objective of this study is to investigate the post-renovation conditions of residences and evaluate the street district and the shophouses along Minquan Street of Sanxia Township, Taipei City. We conducted a field investigation and a questionnaire survey targeting shophouses along this street. Post-questionnaire data revealed that users felt that shophouse renovations were contributive to the renewed business development. In addition, improvements in exterior environmental appearances mostly led to positive appraisals by shophouse users. However, the actual demands for pubic facilities of local users remained unsatisfactory. Regarding interior renovations of shophouse, the occupying land area of shophouse seemed to meet the basic demands for businesses. Additionally, installation of air conditioning systemis required.
