Data provided for the www.cdp.net CDP Cities 2015 Report New Taipei City Written by Report analysis & information In partnership with design for CDP by New Taipei City in Context 04 New Taipei City in Focus 06 Introduction 08 Governance 10 Risks & Adaptation 16 Opportunities 24 Emissions - Local Government 28 Emissions – Community 38 Strategy 48 CDP, C40 and AECOM are proud to present results from our fifth consecutive year of climate change reporting for cities. It was an impressive year, with 308 cities reporting on their climate change data (six times more than the number that was reported in the survey’s first year of 2011), making this the largest and most comprehensive survey of cities and climate change published to date by CDP. City governments from Helsinki to Canberra to La Paz participated, including over 90% of the membership of the C40 – a group of the world’s largest cities dedicated to climate change leadership. Approximately half of reporting cities measure city-wide emissions. Together, these cities account for 1.67 billion tonnes CO2e, putting them on par with Japan and UK emissions combined. 60% of all reporting cities now have completed a climate change risk assessment. And cities reported over 3,000 individual actions designed to reduce emissions and adapt to a changing climate. CDP, C40 and AECOM salute the hard work and dedication of the world’s city governments in measuring and reporting these important pieces of data. With this report, we provide city governments the information and insights that we hope will assist their work in tackling climate change.

Analysis of the Spatiotemporal Transformation of Fort San Domingo in Tamsui, Taiwan, from the Perspective of Cultural Imagination
This paper is part of the Proceedings of the 3rd International Conference on Defence Sites: Heritage and Future (DSHF 2016) www.witconferences.com Analysis of the spatiotemporal transformation of Fort San Domingo in Tamsui, Taiwan, from the perspective of cultural imagination C.-Y. Chang Ministry of the Interior, Architecture and Building Institute, Taiwan, ROC Abstract The timeline of transformation of Fort San Domingo shows that between the 1630s and 1860s it was used as a military defense; from the 1860s–1970s as a foreign consulate and then from the 1980s–2010s as a historical site. We can see different and contradictory explanations of the cultural imagination of remembrance, exoticism and the symbolism of anti-imperialism from the historical context of this military building. Keywords: spatiotemporal transformation, Fort San Domingo, Tamsui, cultural imagination. 1 Introduction Fort San Domingo is rather young compared to forts built in Europe, yet it has a different historical meaning for this island located in Eastern Asia. Fort San Domingo (聖多明哥城) was one of the earliest Grade I heritage sites first appointed under the Cultural Heritage Preservation Act in 1982. It is the most well preserved fortress that can be dated back to the golden age of expeditions made by the Dutch East India Company during the colonial era. Moreover, Fort San Domingo is also the first heritage that has been transformed into a modern museum. Named the Tamsui Historical Museum of New Taipei City, the fort and its surrounding historical buildings were listed as a Potential World Heritage Site in Taiwan by the Ministry of Cultural Heritage.

Collaboration between architects and engineers satisfied demands of esthetics, real estate economics, construction, occupant comfort in mild-to-moderate winds, and structural safety in typhoons and earthquakes. Its architectural design, eight eight-story modules standing atop a tapering base, evokes indigenous jointed bamboo and tiered pagodas. Building shape refinements from wind tunnel studies dramatically reduced accelerations and overturning forces from vortex shedding. The structural framing system of braced core and multiple outriggers accommodates numerous building setbacks.

Kaohsiung, TAIWAN
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.

Atmospheric PM2.5 and Polychlorinated Dibenzo-P-Dioxins and Dibenzofurans in Taiwan
Aerosol and Air Quality Research, 18: 762–779, 2018 Copyright © Taiwan Association for Aerosol Research ISSN: 1680-8584 print / 2071-1409 online doi: 10.4209/aaqr.2018.02.0050 Atmospheric PM2.5 and Polychlorinated Dibenzo-p-dioxins and Dibenzofurans in Taiwan Yen-Yi Lee 1, Lin-Chi Wang2*, Jinning Zhu 3**, Jhong-Lin Wu4***, Kuan-Lin Lee1 1 Department of Environmental Engineering, National Cheng Kung University, Tainan 70101, Taiwan 2 Department of Civil Engineering and Geomatics, Cheng Shiu University, Kaohsiung 83347, Taiwan 3 School of Resources and Environmental Engineering, Hefei University of Technology, Hefei 246011, China 4 Sustainable Environment Research Laboratories, National Cheng Kung University, Tainan 70101, Taiwan ABSTRACT In this study, the atmospheric PM2.5, increases/decreases of the PM2.5, the PM2.5/PM10 ratio, total PCDD/Fs-TEQ concentrations, PM2.5-bound total PCDD/Fs-TEQ content, and PCDD/F gas-particle partition in Taiwan were investigated for the period 2013 to 2017. 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 .

In order to increase the service capacity efficiency on check-in, security checks, and customs clearance, the Ministry of Transportation and Communications R.O.C. (MOTC), Taiwan, rerouted the airport traffic flow by implementing the in-town check-in (ITCI) concept to decrease crowding in the airport waiting hall. This research examined the structure of critical success factors (CSFs) for ITCIs, deriving three hierarchies of three dimensions, eight criteria, and 18 evaluation indexes from the previous literature, expert interviews, and analysis results from Analytic Network Process (ANP) via Super Decisions software. The three CSF dimensions were: first- level hierarchy “advantageous environments,” followed by “marketing” and “service value,” which is a second-level hierarchy. The study concluded that the third level item of “transferred vehicles system and management” can play an important key role in ITCTs and “users’ usage preference” has a high correlation to ITCT management strategy.
