    Kaohsiung, TAIWAN Deepening of Berths 65 and 66 There are currently seven international harbours in Taiwan playing important roles in economic development: Keelung, Kaohsiung, Hualien, Taichung, Suao, Anping, and Taipei. The port of Kaohsiung is Taiwan’s leading international commercial port with Anping serving as its auxiliary harbour. The deep-water port of Kaohsiung is the marine transit hub for East Asia and South Taiwan. Featuring a natural harbour and two access channels with depths of 11 and 16 metres, the 2,683-hectare port is capable of handling up to 100,000-DWT vessels. Kaohsiung currently has five container terminals and a total of 118 berths – including 26 container berths – which can accommodate 6,000-TEU post-Panamax container ships. Handling over 70% of Taiwan’s container traffic and 60% of the country’s total international trade volume, the harbour has been the world’s third largest container port for many years, with a container throughput of 10 million TEU in 2006. Plans have been made to benefit from geographical advantages and nearby software and hardware facilities to speed up the development of Kaohsiung Harbour. To respond to the Kaohsiung features 5 container development of large vessels and to maximise the har- terminals and 118 berths bour’s efficiency, several container wharves have been Handling 10 million TEU per year, Kaohsiung is one of the largest harbours in the world 118 The most economical deepening solution involved installation of an underwater sheet pile wall forward of the quay deepened, including the existing berths 65 (length: 244 m) and 66 (length: 440 m) that have been be rebuilt as container wharves.

In Taiwan, the annual average PM2.5 concentrations were found to be 28.9, 24.1, 21.4, 20.2, –3 and 19.9 µg m in 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, and 2017, respectively, which indicated that the annual variations in PM2.5 levels were decreasing during the study period. The average increases (+)/decreases (–) of PM2.5 concentrations were –16.7%, –11.1%, –5.75%, and –1.73% from 2013 to 2014, from 2014 to 2015, from 2015 to 2016, and from 2016 to 2017, respectively. Based to the relationship between PM10 values and total PCDD/F concentrations obtained from previous studies, we estimated that in 2017, the annual average total PCDD/Fs-TEQ concentrations ranged between 0.0148 –3 –3 (Lienchiang County) and 0.0573 pg WHO2005-TEQ m (Keelung City), and averaged 0.0296 pg WHO2005-TEQ m , while –1 the PM2.5-bound total PCDD/Fs-TEQ content ranged from 0.302 (Kaohsiung City) to 0.911 ng WHO2005-TEQ g –1 (Keelung City), at an average of 0.572 ng WHO2005-TEQ g .

  • An Impact Analysis of the Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport Access MRT System – Considering the Interaction Between Land Use and Transportation Behavior
    Journal of the Eastern Asia Society for Transportation Studies, Vol.10, 2013 An Impact Analysis of the Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport Access MRT System – Considering the interaction between land use and transportation behavior Hsin-Ti CHENa, Morito TSUTSUMIb, Kiyoshi YAMASAKIc, Kazuki IWAKAMId aGraduate School of Systems and Information Engineering, University of Tsukuba, Tsukuba, 305-8573, Japan; Email: [email protected] bFaculty of Engineering, Information and Systems, University of Tsukuba, Tsukuba, 305-8573, Japan; Email: [email protected] c,dValue Management Institute, ltd., Tokyo, 100-0004, Japan cEmail: [email protected] dEmail: [email protected] ABSTRACT The Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport Access MRT System, a large scale transportation project, is under construction in Taiwan and expected be partially in service from 2015. However, the official report of the impact analysis of the project is based on traditional mechanisms for project evaluation and doesn’t consider the interaction between land use and transportation behaviors. Furthermore, the official report includes some inappropriate indexes for project evaluation. This study establishes a framework of an interaction model of land use and transportation model, called the computable urban economic (CUE) model and uses it to review the original cost-benefit analysis of the Airport MRT project. In addition, the CUE model explicitly considers the usage of scooters, which plays an important role in commuting, private and business trips in Taiwan and other Asian developing countries, as a mode of transport.
