    Psychology Research, July 2018, Vol. 8, No. 7, 335-354 doi:10.17265/2159-5542/2018.07.005 D DAVID PUBLISHING Public-Private Partnership Model Used in the Taipei Central Station Project Research Mou-Chung Tseng, Chien-Wen Peng National Taipei University, Taiwan, R.O.C. In view of the lack of financial aid and the migration of industries, the role of local governments shifted from social reproduction to development and production, which made the development of the local economy their main responsibility. The local governments hence have to face challenges in their management in regards to the arising changes and needs. This Taipei Central Bus Station Build Operate Transfer (BOT) project of urban formation and development is not only a trend in countries around the globe; it is also an area the Taiwanese governments are actively involved in. With the impact of urbanization, the size of highly functional cities has surpassed core city administrative regions; therefore, this has generated various planning, administrative and policy issues. This study examines the public-private partnership (PPP) views on urban development; the research methodology will be designed to focus on qualitative research, the following conclusions were made: (1) The basic goal of global city competitiveness of Taipei was promoted by implementing “qlubarnization”, a spatial development strategy dependent on intercalary abilities. (2) Taipei is located in the hub of Asia, linking mainland China and Taiwan, facing the world, peaceful and stable, rich and diverse in culture, such that adopting the “hybrid or mixed-use development model” will allow “the national gate of the country program—Central Station, Central Park” to become an international city brand.

    Street Names, Political S

    Steven L. Riep 饒博榮 Asian and Near Eastern Languages Brigham Young University Remapping Taipei: Street Names, Political Symbolism, and Artistic Responses in Fiction, Poetry and Film Working Paper and Research Report 2019 Taiwan Fellowship Program Center for Chinese Studies, National Central Library and Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Taiwan, ROC Abstract Following the end of the Anti-Japanese War in 1945, Taiwan again became a province of China. In the years that followed, the Nationalist government carried out a campaign to remove all references to Japan and Japanese culture and install Chinese names and institutions in their place. This included renaming streets in the capital city of Taipei, which became the provisional capital of the Republic of China after 1949. Many of the names chosen had close ties to former and present government leaders, government policies and programs and places names in mainland China. Thus, when traversing the streets of Taipei, one became immersed in Nationalist history, policies and programs. Beginning in the 1960s, fiction writers, poets and filmmakers created works that reflected on and reacted to this highly politicized mapping and began to establish a space apart by reimagining Taipei or moving above ground level. This paper will examine how the poets Ya Hsien (Ya Xian) and Lin Yaode, filmmakers Wan Jen (Wan Ren), Tseng Wen-chen (Zeng Wenzhen) and Lai Shengchuan and fiction writer Chu Tien-hsin (Zhu Tianxin) have interrogated the street naming and mapping process in their works. Paper In 1946, the Nationalist or Guomindang (GMD) government of Jiang Jieshi (Chiang Kai- shek) that ruled China since 1912, and its former ally in the War of Resistance against Japan (1937-1945), the Chinese Communist Party, entered into a civil war over control of mainland Chinese territory and thus of the Chinese nation and its people.
