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.

During the past few months the battle in Taiwan about the proposed Economic Cooperation Framework Agreement (ECFA) with China intensified further, leading to daily heated exchanges in the press, an April 25th TV debate between DPP Chairwoman Tsai Ing-wen and President Ma Ying-jeou, a May 20th Open Letter by international scholars to Legislative Speaker Wang Jin-pyng, and street demonstrations in Taiwan. Photo: Taipei Times At issue is whether Taiwan should ink a trade agreement with China. The Ma administration is presenting ECFA as a solution to Taiwan’s economic woes, and says it will prevent Taiwan from being margi- nalized.

A Case of the Ict Industry in Taiwan K
Australasian Journal of Regional Studies, Vol. 13, No. 3, 2007 325 THE IMPACT OF AGGLOMERATIVE INDUSTRIAL DYNAMIC EXTERNALITIES ON REGIONAL TECHNOLOGY GAPS: A CASE OF THE ICT INDUSTRY IN TAIWAN Ku-Hsieh (Michael) Chen Graduate Institute of Industrial Economics, Tamkang University, 151 Ying-Chuan Road, Tamsui 25137, Taipei County, TAIWAN. ABSTRACT: All other things being equal, questions arise as to whether the location of firms in distinct regions will result in variations in their technology capabilities, and what the nature of the local industrial environment is that determines regional technology gaps. This study investigates these issues from a perspective of industrial agglomerative dynamic externalities, examining the roles played by three influential assertions on regional technology gaps, namely, the Marshall-Arrow-Romer (MAR), Porter and Jacobs hypotheses. The results tend to favour the contention of Porter hypothesis on the contribution of the nature of local industrial agglomeration to the production technologies of information and computer technology (ICT) firms. 1. INTRODUCTION Over the past two decades, there has been some considerable resurgence in interest in the discussion of the phenomenon of industrial agglomeration. The attention of regional and industrial public policy has also been drawn to the successful development of so-called ‘new industrial districts’ or ‘industrial clusters’, such as the electronics industries in Silicon Valley in the US, the clothing industry in Northern Italy and the Hsin-chu Science-based Industrial Park in Taiwan. Theoretically, the agglomeration of firms would provide effects of external economic benefits. As the classic argument of Alfred Marshall (1920), the emergence and maintenance of agglomeration has at least three origins, comprising of the development of a local pool of specialized labour, the increased provision of local non-tradable specialized inputs, and the maximum flow of information and ideas (Krugman, 1991). -

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. -
