  • An Expert-Based Assessment Model for Evaluating Habitat Suitability of Pond-Breeding Amphibians
    sustainability Article An Expert-Based Assessment Model for Evaluating Habitat Suitability of Pond-Breeding Amphibians Shin-Ruoh Juang 1, Szu-Hung Chen 2 and Chen-Fa Wu 1,* 1 Department of Horticulture, National Chung Hsing University, Taichung City 402, Taiwan; [email protected] 2 Department of Ecosystem Science & Management, Texas A&M University, College Station, TX 77843, USA; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel./Fax: +886-4-2285-9125 Academic Editor: Iain Gordon Received: 8 November 2016; Accepted: 10 February 2017; Published: 16 February 2017 Abstract: Farm ponds are important habitats for amphibians, birds, and other wildlife. In Taiwan, artificial ponds were originally created on farmlands for irrigation purposes and the needs of the domestic water supply. Although pond creation is a typical farming practice, it also provides habitats for pond-breeding amphibians. Thus, it is essential to understand the current status of habitats and their vulnerability regarding urgent conservation needs for target species. Günther’s frog (Hylarana guentheri), a pond-breeding amphibian, has a high sensitivity towards surrounding environmental changes, and can be used as an indicator species to assess habitat suitability. The purpose of this study is to establish a systematic framework to assess the habitat suitability of pond-breeding amphibians by using Günther’s frog as a pilot-study species. First, we collected frog survey data from Chiayi, Taiwan, from winter 2013 to spring 2015, and investigated the present status of the environmental conditions around the ponds. Next, expert questionnaires and the fuzzy Delphi method were applied to establish the hierarchical evaluation criteria regarding the habitat suitability assessment.

  • Differences Between Local Residents' and Visitors' Environmental
    Differences between Local Residents’ and Visitors’ Environmental Per- ception of Landscape Change of Rural Communities in Taiwan Chun-Wei Tsou*, Sheng-Jung Ou *Department of Landscape Architecture, Tunghai University; No.1727, Sec. 4, Taiwan Boulevard, Taichung 40704, Taiwan; +886.4.2359.0417, [email protected] Abstract Rural community development on landscape environment has become a hot issue in making rural travel attractions and this development phenomenon is getting popular in Taiwan. Visitors’ environmental per- ception on rural landscape environment would affect their behavior, impressions, and willingness-to-re- turn about that rural area. Therefore, residents and visitors who travelled in the top ten rural villages of Taiwan elected in 2007 were subjects in this research in order to analyze differences between local resi- dents’ and visitors’ environmental perception of landscape change of rural communities. Three factors, perception on rural environmental change, perception on rural environmental characteristic, and percep- tion on life emotion about rural environment, were extracted after exploratory factor analysis was done on acceptability of perception on community landscape environment of all subjects. The result of this research could act as references for management of landscape environment in developing rural commu- nities. It is expected that numerous difference could be avoided between development goals of rural communities and visitors’ perception on landscape environment.

Mielke Received: 28 October 2016; Accepted: 10 January 2017; Published: 14 January 2017 Abstract: Chronic arsenic (As) exposure continues to be a public health problem of major concern worldwide, affecting hundreds of millions of people. A long-term groundwater quality survey has revealed that 20% of the groundwater in southern Taiwan’s Pingtung Plain is clearly contaminated with a measured As concentration in excess of the maximum level of 10 µg/L recommended by the World Health Organization. The situation is further complicated by the fact that more than half of the inhabitants in this area continue to use groundwater for drinking. Efforts to assess the health risk associated with the ingestion of As from the contaminated drinking water are required in order to determine the priorities for health risk management.
