In Taiwan, artiﬁcial ponds were originally created on farmlands for irrigation purposes and the needs of the domestic water supply. Although pond creation is a typical farming practice, it also provides habitats for pond-breeding amphibians. Thus, it is essential to understand the current status of habitats and their vulnerability regarding urgent conservation needs for target species. Günther’s frog (Hylarana guentheri), a pond-breeding amphibian, has a high sensitivity towards surrounding environmental changes, and can be used as an indicator species to assess habitat suitability. The purpose of this study is to establish a systematic framework to assess the habitat suitability of pond-breeding amphibians by using Günther’s frog as a pilot-study species. First, we collected frog survey data from Chiayi, Taiwan, from winter 2013 to spring 2015, and investigated the present status of the environmental conditions around the ponds. Next, expert questionnaires and the fuzzy Delphi method were applied to establish the hierarchical evaluation criteria regarding the habitat suitability assessment.

London and New York: Routledge. 2 Assessing (Multi)culturalism through Public Art Practices Anru Lee and Perng-juh Peter Shyong This chapter investigates the issue of multiculturalism through public art practices in Taiwan. Specifically, we focus on the public art project of the Mass 14Rapid Transit System in Kaohsiung (hereafter, Kaohsiung MRT), and examine how the discourse of multiculturalism intertwines with the discourse of public art that informs the practice of the latter. Multiculturalism in this case is considered as an ideological embodiment of the politics of difference, wherein our main concern is placed on the ways in which different constituencies in Kaohsiung respond to the political-economic ordering of Kaohsiung in post-Second World War Taiwan and to the challenges Kaohsiung City faces in the recent events engendering global economic change. We see the Kaohsiung MRT public art project as a field of contentions and its public artwork as a ‘device of imagination’ and ‘technique of representation’ (see Ngo and Wang in this volume).

In the Twilight Zone of Collaborative Disaster Prevention? the Experience of Flood Control in Different Levels of Government in Taiwan
Chinese Public Administration CPAR Review Volume 8 Issue 2, December 2017 In the Twilight Zone of Collaborative Disaster Prevention? The Experience of Flood Control in Different Levels of Government in Taiwan Ming-feng Kuo *, Chun-yuan Wang † * National Taiwan University, Taiwan † Central Police University, Taiwan With the coming of risk society, natural and human-made disasters have challenged the governance capacity of national and local governments. Although decentralization is a governance trend in various fields, little is known about the appropriate mode and crucial factors influencing its capacity for disaster management. The authors contend that a twilight zone exists between decentralization and centralization, and thus the purpose of this study is to explore how different levels of governments in Taiwan may collaborate in flood control effectively. By conducting in-depth interviews with public officials in Taiwan’s branches of flood control in central and local governments, we analyzed the existing conflicts of power and responsibility between central- and local authorities. We defined the factors that influence the construction of effective collaboration across the levels of governments. Based on our empirical findings, this study ultimately makes policy suggestions to facilitate the establishment of mechanisms for effective governance. Keywords: centralization, decentralization, collaborative disaster prevention, flood control, local governance, Taiwan INTRODUCTION in the act and the trend of decentralization has been confirmed in Taiwan, many controversies related to xamining how different levels of government power and responsibility have still emerged between have worked effectively and collaboratively central and local governments in the last two decades. Eduring disaster management has raised a big question and attracted considerable attention One of the most prominent cases in Taiwan is the dispute in academia and practice (Drabek, 1985; Kapucu, of flood control.

Black-Faced Spoonbill, Spoon-Billed Sandpiper and Chinese Crested Tern
Convention on the Conservation of Migratory Species of Wild Animals Secretariat provided by the United Nations Environment Programme 14 th MEETING OF THE CMS SCIENTIFIC COUNCIL Bonn, Germany, 14-17 March 2007 CMS/ScC14/Doc.16 Agenda item 5.1 PROGRESS REPORT ON THE INTERNATIONAL ACTION PLANS FOR THE CONSERVATION OF THE BLACK-FACED SPOONBILL ( PLATALEA MINOR ), SPOON-BILLED SANDPIPER ( EURYNORHYNCHUS PYGMEUS ), AND CHINESE CRESTED-TERN ( STERNA BERNSTEINI ) (Prepared by Mr. Simba Chan, BirdLife International Asia Division) I. Progress to March 2007 1. Preparation of the International Action Plans (IAP) for Black-faced Spoonbill, Chinese Crested-tern and Spoon-billed Sandpiper was unofficially started in late 2004, when BirdLife International Asia Division contacted experts on these species for their involvement in drafting the IAPs. As BirdLife International and its partners in Asia have been involved in conservation activities of Black-faced Spoonbill and Chinese Crested-tern, we believe it is best to have these two species IAP coordinated under BirdLife International Asia Division. On the IAP for Spoon- billed Sandpiper, BirdLife International approached the Shorebird Network of the Asia- Australasian Flyway for cooperation. They recommended Dr Christoph Zöckler, a Spoon-billed Sandpiper expert, to be the coordinator. BirdLife International had discussed with Dr Zöckler several times since 2004 and finally signed an agreement regarding the IAP after signing the Letter of Agreement with the CMS in early 2006. Black-faced Spoonbill Platalea minor 2. Drafting of the IAP for Black-faced Spoonbill goes on smoothly, with four working meetings between compilers who represent all major range countries (Japan, North Korea, South Korea, China including the island of Taiwan and the Hong Kong Special Administration Region) and workshop and symposia held in Tokyo, Tainan (Taiwan), Hong Kong and Ganghwa (South Korea): Tokyo, Japan : 2-6 October 2005 Meeting during the BirdLife Asia Council Meeting and a workshop at the Korea University, Tokyo.

Rebuilding Relocated Tribal Communities Better Via Culture: Livelihood and Social Resilience for Disaster Risk Reduction
sustainability Article Rebuilding Relocated Tribal Communities Better via Culture: Livelihood and Social Resilience for Disaster Risk Reduction Pei-Shan Sonia Lin 1,* and Wei-Cheng Lin 2 1 Graduate School of Disaster Management, Central Police University, Taoyuan 33304, Taiwan 2 Fire Bureau, Chiayi City Government, Chiayi City 33304, Taiwan; fi[email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 15 May 2020; Accepted: 1 June 2020; Published: 3 June 2020 Abstract: Building back better is the goal of post-disaster recovery. However, most of the extant literature focuses on hardware reconstruction and there is a lack of attention on the social aspect of recovery. This study aims to understand the role of culture in the recovery process of relocating indigenous communities through tourism livelihood. A Tsou indigenous settlement, relocated after the 2009 Typhoon Morakot in Taiwan, was used as a case study. Field data were collected through participant observations in tourism and community activities as well as semi-structured interviews over a period of 15 months. The study found that appealing to a relocated tribe’s culture, not their land, as their community’s foundation could reduce conflicts within the community and increase social resilience. Indigenous culture-based tourism could serve as an important source of livelihood for such tribes, supporting long-term development. This study highlights community-based cultural tourism as a post-disaster livelihood revival approach which is beneficial for a resilient recovery. Culture could reduce disaster risk through a transformation to a livelihood source and further become the base of community resilience. Instead of promoting detached culture preservation, this study argues that a livelihood-relevant culturally innovative transformation could create a win–win situation for both post-disaster community recovery and culture inheritance.

APPLYING GEO-DATA TO EVALUATE THE APPROPRIATENESS OF BUS NETWORK Chih-Hung Chang1, Jau-Ming Su2, Chao-Neng Chang3,, Chih-Kang Lin4,Mei-Hui Shen5, and Chin-Tung Tsai6 1,2,3,4Chih-Hung Chang, Chung Hua University, Department of Transportation Technology and Logistics Management [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] 5Chung Hua University, Department of Transportation Technology and Logistics Management, [email protected] 6Operation and Management Division, Institute of Transportation, Ministry of Transportation and Communications, [email protected] Abstract In recent years, a great deal of resources have been invested in public transportation development in Taiwan. Although the Ratio of the Users of Public Transport has increased significantly, the pace of growth has already started to slow down. As a result, all levels of the governments are attempting to boost the ratio of the users of public transport by planning new transit service routes with potential. Due to the limitations of forecasts derived from conventional transportation demand data, some local and foreign scholars and research organizations have employed the service population indicator to plan transit service routes. In this study, we utilize a variety of geospatial data, such as village and street number diagrams from the Taiwan Geospatial One-Stop Portal, created by the Information Center, Ministry of the Interior; the Household Registration Statistics database; the Bus Dynamic Information System implemented by the Directorate General of Highways, Ministry of Transportation and Communications (MOTC); and other big data sources such as income and land use data. This will enable government transportation agencies to assess the benefits of new transit routes using transportation demand data and the service population indicator.

2009 Hsin-Kang Safe Community Report
2009 Hsin-Kang Safe Community Report “Helmet” has never occurred to farmers when they got on their scooters to transport the vegetable, because of the belief of “it was just a short distance.” or “it was such a hot day.” We still live close to the collapsed ponds, and wish that “as long as we didn't get too close, it would not be dangerous.” However, we finally realized hazard is everywhere when a car accident happens and someone falls into the lake. The injury caused by an accident is unpredictable, but we can prevent the accident from happening. Application to Become a Member of the International Safe Community Network for International Designation as a Safe Community by the WHO Collaborating Centre on Community Safety Promotion Hsin-Kang Township, Chiayi County, TAIWAN October 2009 吳容輝 Wu, Ronghui 張秀安 Chang, Xiuan Convener, Chairman, Hsin-Kang Community Safety Promotion Committee Hsin-Kang Community Safety Promotion Committee Vice Magistrate, Chiayi County Government Mayor, Zhongzhuang Village, Chiayi County, Taiwan Hsin-Kang Township, Chiayi County, Taiwan Preface Chiayi County started to promote the safe community program since 2002, and accomplished the international certification for Alishan Safe Community as a demonstration. After that, the agricultural type community – Hsin-Kang Community followed its footstep since 2006. After three years of operation with the experience of Alishan, the residents of Hsin-Kang followed the spirit of six indicators of international safe community and successfully performed it in the community. In the meantime, the agencies from the county government assigned the director of each bureau, instead of the chief, in order to fully accommodate the needs of community safety promotion committee during the meeting, and also provide efficient cooperation based on the fully understanding of the community’s needs.
