Reconstructed the source rupture and strong ground motions of the 1935 Hsinchu-Taichung Earthquake (ML7.1) in Taiwan Ming-Hsuan Yen1, Shiann-Jong Lee2 and Kuo-Fong Ma1 1 Department of Earth Sciences, National Central University, Taiwan、2 Institute of Earth Sciences, Academia Sinica, Taipei, Taiwan On 21 April 1935, a large earthquake with a local magnitude of 7.1 struck central Taiwan, named the Hsinchu-Taichung earthquake. It was the most destructive earthquakes in Taiwan history since 1600. This event was associated with two major faults: the northern one as the Shihtan reverse fault, and the southern one as the Tuntzuchiao right-lateral strike-slip fault. To understand its possible rupture history of the associated faults, and its potential impact to Taiwan of a destructive earthquake of this kind, we reconstructed the possible source characteristics and the strong ground motions of the 1935 Hsinchu-Taichung earthquake. We constructed the three main types of fault model for this event in view of historical triangulation data in the time period of 1917-1937, as two previously proposed fault models and a combined model. We investigated the spatial slip distribution based on these fault models from source inversion by using the triangulation data. In comparison to the triangulation data, we chose a best fault model for a scenario for ground motion simulation by Spectral-Element Method (SEM). The model suggested that this 1935 earthquake was composed of four fault-segments, as two observed surface rupture faults to the north by reverse faulting and to the south by strike- slip motion, and with two blind faults without surface rupture in between. We compared the spatial slip distribution, the ShakeMap, and the intensity distribution for various scenarios to examine the possible hazard from the reconstructed source model. This study suggests the possible multiple fault-segments rupture from adjacent fault segments with different styles of faulting. Special attention is needed for future seismic hazard evaluation from multiple faults rupture of this kind in addition to the single fault segment rupture made in current seismic hazard evaluation. .

As a dreamscape of Taiwan’s modernity, the HSIP aimed to exhibit futuristic ways of organizing employment and living a modern lifestyle. However, the success of the HSIP has created and deepened social and urban contradictions with its neighboring, mostly rural, areas. The government subsequently proposed the Hsinchu Science City (HSC) plan and the Unpolished Jade Project (UJP) to ‘harmonize’ the contradictions between these areas. Consequently, it led the HSIP to turn from an industrial enclave to an urban megaproject, or zone-city. The zone-city has shaped fantasies of modernity in the local people and inspired in them a will to improve. At the same time, it has raised suspicions of land grabbing and dispossession. This article argues that the production of space through zone-cities, an urban form that has been phenomenal in the East Asian context, revolves around a dialectic between the desire for regional improvement and the greed of land speculation. The inherent tension between both sides of this dialectic thus poses an ethical and practical challenge for critical approaches in urban studies.

Seismogenic Structure of 1935 Hsinchu-Taichung (MGR=7.1) Earthquake, Miaoli, Western Taiwan 1935 年新竹台中烈震(MGR=7.1)的發震構造
Seismogenic structure of 1935 Hsinchu-Taichung (MGR=7.1) earthquake, Miaoli, western Taiwan 1935 年新竹台中烈震(MGR=7.1)的發震構造 Y.N. Nina Lin; Y.G. Chen; Y.M. Wu (Inst. of Geosciences, NTU); K.M. Yang (Exploration and Development Res. Inst., CPC); Yoko Ota (Yokohama Nat’l Univ., Japan) Abstract A large earthquake (MGR 7.1) took place in Miaoli on April 21, 1935 and caused severe damage in surrounding area. The associated surface ruptures daylighted the Tuntzuchiao Fault, trending NE between the Tachia and Taan River, and the Chihhu Fault, a back thrust trending N-S in the Shihtan area. In this study, we try to clarify the structural geometry and further identify the seismogenic structure for this event. The fold-and-thrust belt in Miaoli region is characterized by three major styles of structural interactions of thrusts and folds: the reactivated pre-existing normal faults, the low angle thrust cutting through the shallow strata, and the regional décollement at the base of the sedimentary strata in depth (Yang et al., 1994). The hypocenter of the 1935 mainshock is located right beneath the middle reach of the Taan River. By subsurface geology, we consider that the reactivation of the pre-existing normal fault preserved in the footwall of the Sanyi Fault (low angle thrust faulting, Figs. 1 & 2) may be the seismogenic structure of this earthquake. It currently performs strike-slip in character and extends to the ground surface as the Tuntzuchiao Fault in the south. This reactivated system may have disturbed the strata in the hanging wall of the Sanyi Fault.

Thanks to Wendy Li for first-rate research assistance during 1999-2000. Please do not circulate or cite. The global electronics industry was badly shaken when a 7.3 Richter scale earthquake hit Taiwan in September 1999. In Silicon Valley, the center of technology and product innovation for the industry there was widespread concern about lengthy interruptions in the supply of computers, semiconductors, and other key components. The concern was well founded: Taiwanese companies produce the majority of the world's notebook computers, motherboards, monitors, optical scanners, power supplies, and a range of other electronics-related products.

Vision In order to build Chiayi City into a healthy city, the city government has combined policy plans and civil needs, with the aim of creating a livable environment, improving citizens’ life quality, and continually improving the city. For implementing the concept of health for all, the city government is referring to the steps for healthy cities introduced by the WHO. It starts with understanding the citizens’ needs and expectations for the promotion of a healthy city, and then invites communities to participate, integrates cross-sector and cross-field resources, and encourages citizens, public sectors, and private sectors to jointly build public policies for the health of the city. Such policies range from environmental improvement to personal life change, and are focused on solving the city’s health problems. There are six goals for the promotion of the Healthy City: (1) To make Chiayi City an energetic city (city renewal, community transformation). (2) To make Chiayi City an efficient city (process rebuild, e-service).
