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.

FTA’s with the US and other countries? A hot issue is also whether Taiwan can sign free trade agreements with other countries after the ECFA with China is finalized. The Ma administration had left this fuzzy in the negotiations, but has tried to assure the people in Taiwan that this was the case.

ABSTRACT The 921 Taiwan Chi-Chi earthquake incurred tremendous disaster to the central region of the island, particularly to Taichung and Nantou counties. Most of the bridges on the provincial and county routes in Taichung, Nantou, Changhua, and Yunlin counties escaped from serious damage, while approximately 20% of them suffered minor-to-major damage. The construction completion dates of those bridges range from 1960 through 1999. Damage to these bridges include fault rupturing, collapsed spans, landslides, soil settlement, slope failures, flexural and/or shear failures, and liquefaction. This paper begins with a brief description on the evolution of seismic design code for bridges in Taiwan, followed by a general depiction of the performance of highway bridges located in the four counties during the earthquake. Several major damaged bridges with typical damage modes are illustrated and explored. Lessons learned from the field observations and suggestions made on research needs are also discussed.

    The Handy Guide for Foreigners in Taiwan Research, Development and Evaluation Commission, Executive Yuan November 2010 A Note from the Editor Following centuries of ethnic cultural assimilation and development, today Taiwan has a population of about 23 million and an unique culture that is both rich and diverse. This is the only green island lying on the Tropic of Cancer, with a plethora of natural landscapes that includes mountains, hot springs, lakes, seas, as well as a richness of biological diversity that encompasses VSHFLHVRIEXWWHUÀLHVELUGVDQGRWKHUSODQWDQGDQLPDOOLIH$TXDUWHU of these are endemic species, such as the Formosan Landlocked Salmon (櫻 花鉤吻鮭), Formosan Black Bear (台灣黑熊), Swinhoe’s Pheasant (藍腹鷴), and Black-faced Spoonbill (黑面琵鷺), making Taiwan an important base for nature conservation. In addition to its cultural and ecological riches, Taiwan also enjoys comprehensive educational, medical, and transportation systems, along with a complete national infrastructure, advanced information technology and communication networks, and an electronics industry and related subcontracting industries that are among the cutting edge in the world.

At present, as low-carbon policies are promoted in various countries in the world, they are also initiated by cities. In other words, a city as one of the main roles of promoting low-carbon activities is not only a subject of the public sector, but also requires the participation of enterprises, the public or even NGOs in the low-carbon affairs. Based on this background, this paper concentrates on Taichung City, because four “low carbon pilot cities” were selected in Taiwan in 2011, respectively New Taipei City, Taichung City, Tainan City, and Yilan County. Among them, Taichung City is the one with a rather developed scale. Furthermore, from the point of view of a low-carbon city, this paper would review the experiences and practices of foreign cities in promoting to be low-carbon cities. However, whether these developments can also provide Taiwan as references is also one of the concerns in this paper as well. Later, the low-carbon city historical development of Taichung City would be described in this paper, from which the newspaper information and secondary information would be quoted to discuss and analyze what the problems are for Taichung City in promoting to be a low-carbon city at present.
