  • Globalization, Land Expropriation, and Community Resistance: a Case Study in Wanbao Community, Miaoli County, Taiwan by Janice H
    GLOBALIZATION, LAND EXPROPRIATION, AND COMMUNITY RESISTANCE: A CASE STUDY IN WANBAO COMMUNITY, MIAOLI COUNTY, TAIWAN BY JANICE HSU THESIS Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Urban Planning in Urban Planning in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2017 Urbana, Illinois Master’s Committee: Professor Faranak Miraftab Professor Shih-Jung Hsu, National Chengchi University, Taiwan Abstract The Land Expropriation Act of Taiwan, enacted in the year 2000, has been abused by the local authorities without proper oversight from the public, and this abuse has often caused displacements without reasonable compensation. The abuse of land expropriation can be devastating to those who live in the rural areas of Taiwan, where agricultural land for development is abundant and farmers are the culturally disadvantaged group of the society. This research specifically focuses on the land expropriation experience of Wanbao Community, a rural farming community located in the middle-west part of Taiwan that has successfully resisted land expropriation through a grassroots movement. This paper strives to offer the following: a comprehensive understanding of the legitimization of land expropriation from the local as well as the global perspective; background information on the rise of land expropriation in Taiwan; and the effects of such processes on farmers’ social status. Moreover, based on field research in Wanbao Community, this thesis analyzes the keys to successful resistance to land expropriation and discusses possible planning solutions to prevent it. Research shows that arbitrary land expropriation in Taiwan can be propelled by the state’s pursuit of current trends in global capitalism, also known as globalization, and the urban citizens’ pursuit of a modern lifestyle.

  • Degrees of Shortage and Uncovered Ratios for Long-Term Care in Taiwan’S Regions: Evidence from Dynamic DEA

Rd., Taipei City 10610, Taiwan; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: The government is facing the country’s aging population and low birth rate have led to a severe shortage of its healthcare workforce in Taiwan after 2003. In order to explore the status of the country’s degree of long-term care shortage and uncovered ratio, this research uses the Push- Pull-Mooring (PPM) theory to explain long-term care efficiency during 2010–2019 in each city and county. We collect longitudinal-sectional data for 2010–2019 from the Ministry of Health and Welfare’s Department of Statistics for 22 administrative regions in Taiwan in each year and employ dynamic data envelopment analysis (DEA) to evaluate the overall technical efficiency and the disaggregate output insufficiency to explain the research results. The main findings are as follows: (1) Cities near the capital Taipei have the highest degree of shortages in long-term caregivers and high uncovered ratios of people who need long-term care.
