Development of healthy cities in Taiwan The healthy cities movement began in 1986. It was first promoted by the WHO Regional Office for Europe, and primarily targeted European cities. After almost two decades of work, the results have been very good, and European healthy cities are now exemplars for the world. As a result, WHO regional offices have started to advocate healthy cities for each of their regions. In Taiwan, the Republic of China decided to participate in the healthy cities movement in the beginning of the new Millennium. The Bureau of Health Promotion (BHP), Department of Health called for a pilot proposal in 2003, a cross-disciplinary team of scholars at National Cheng Kung University won the project, and found collaboration from Tainan City, thus, pioneered the healthy city development in Taiwan. BHP has since continued to fund other local authorities to promote healthy cities, including Miaoli County, Hualien County, Kaohsiung City and Taipei County. Since the results have been excellent, some other counties and cities have also allotted budgets to commission related departments for implementation.

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 .

  • Wang Shao- Gang Wang Shao- Gang (Born 1985, Taiwan) Graduated from the Graduate Institute of New Media Art in Taipei National University of the Arts
    Wang Shao- Gang Wang Shao- Gang (born 1985, Taiwan) graduated from the Graduate Institute of New Media Art in Taipei National University of the Arts. Wang specializes in exploring the interrelations between the self and the external through video installation. Constantly experimenting with the possibilities of video art, he is committed to restructuring film, video, documentary and other forms of image creation, diminishing the scope of boundaries in order to probe the state of reality and construct various images of the world. Wang is currently in an ongoing attempt to research the humanistic culture and history of the locality through his creative practice. He is fascinated by his random encounters with people and the fragmented events that occur throughout space and time yet eternally in the process of facing oblivion. For him, the objects and places seen in the immediate reality are not simply as they appear, but exist before us through unseen processes; therefore, he raises many doubts to the reality that we live in and pieces together imaginary subjects and fictional perspectives in his works to liberate the obvious appearances of reality. Recent exhibitions include: "The Moment that Comes is about to Go- 6 Visions about Time" (Digital Art Center, Taipei, 2017), "Chiayi City International Art Documentary Film Festival-Enjoy Art Of All"(Chiayi Municipal Museum, Chiayi, 2017), "Taiwan Biennial -The possibility of an island" (Taipei Fine Arts Museum, Taipei, 2016), "Kaohsiung Awards"（Kaohsiung Museum of Fine Arts, Kaohsiung, 2016), "Taipei Arts Award" (Taipei Fine Arts Museum, Taipei, 2015), and "Sanchin- Wang Shao- Gang solo exhibition" (Open Contemporary Art Center, Taipei, 2015).

  • Lessons Learnt from Taiwan's High Speed Rail
    Proceedings of the Eastern Asia Society for Transportation Studies, Vol.8, 2011 Lessons Learnt from Taiwan’s High Speed Rail Cheng-Min FENG Professor Institute of Traffic and Transportation National Chiao Tung University 4F, 118, Sec. 1, Chung Hsiao W. Rd., Taipei 10012, Taiwan, ROC Fax: +886-2-2349-4965 E-mail: [email protected] Abstract: Taiwan takes BOT approach to build and operate its high speed rail. Several issues such as the enact of new law vs. the modification of old law, tri-party agreement vs. two-party agreement, partner or regulator, refinance vs. take-over, new town vs. old town, expropriation or zonal expropriation, and plan vs. development, occurred during the planning, construction, contracting and operation periods. Taiwan learns its lessons from the process and its outcomes, which could help others to prevent the issues or adapt their plans. Key Words: high speed rail, BOT, issues, lessons 1. INTRODUCTION There is an increasing need to build new transportation infrastructure to meet the intercity travel needs in western Taiwan. However, at the same time, there is a decreasing amount of government funds available to finance the infrastructure, and a decreasing tolerance among taxpayers or transportation user to increase taxes or user fees. One alternative solution is to build high speed rail (HSR) in Taiwan with the participation of private sector. In the planning and design stage, the most of arguments lie in the location of station, the acquisition of land, station area’s plan and design, and who will construct and operate the HSR, which were all determined by the government.

  • A Report on Male Anolis Sagrei Saurophagy in Chiayi County, Taiwan
    A report on male Anolis sagrei saurophagy in Chiayi County, Taiwan GERRUT NORVAL ' Applied Behavioural Ecology and Ecosystem Research Unit, Department of Nature Conservation, UNISA, Private Bag X6, Florida, 1710, Republic of South Africa. ABSTRACT — Five hundred and two Brown anoles (A nails sagrei) were collected for stomach content analysis from an area surrounding a plant nursery (23°25'51"N, 120°28'30"E) in Santzepu, Sheishan District, Chiayi County, as part of an ongoing study on this invasive species in Taiwan. The stomachs of five A. sagrei males contained vertebrate prey, which were isolated for identification to establish a basis upon which future studies can be based. These prey were identified as three hatchlings of A. sagrei, a Henzidactyhts fienatus hatchling, and a skink hatchling — most likely that of Spheitomolphus indicus. The results of this study seems to indicate that male A. sagrei saurophagy is more likely in cleared open habitats, with no ground cover, than in habitats with ground covering. s a whole, lizards exhbit a wide range of these lizards were usually only extended to the variation in what they eat; some have a class or order levels, it was decided to isolate all ..catholic diet, while others are specialists that prey the vertebrate prey from the other prey items for a only on specific types of prey (Mattison, 1997). more in-depth examination to establish a basis Only a few lizard species, such as Lialis burtonis upon which future studies on predation on (Pygopodidae), specialize in preying on other vertebrates by this species in Taiwan can be based.
