  • The Leader Firms and the Evolution of an Industrial District: a Case Study of Hosiery District in Taiwan
    European Planning Studies Vol. 19, No. 6, June 2011 The Leader Firms and the Evolution of an Industrial District: A Case Study of Hosiery District in Taiwan JINN-YUH HSU & LE-XIN LIN Department of Geography, National Taiwan University, Taiwan, Republic of China (Received February 2010; accepted May 2010) ABSTRACT The transformation of industrial districts has become a hot debate since the increasing globalization of national and regional economies occurred in the 1980s. This paper empirically examines the changing social networks, technological learning and industrial organization in the regional transformation of the hosiery district in Shetou, Taiwan. It shows that primordial social ties render the production networks costless and the networks of learning efficient for price competition in the early stage. However, as new challenges linked to the globalization process approach, the leader small and medium sized enterprises in Taiwanese industrial districts are not necessarily compelled to shift production jobs abroad, but they reposition themselves in local production chains with incurring extra-local resources to cope with the threats from new competitors. On the one hand, these leader firms take strategies of local reaction to rely overwhelmingly on local supply chains to meet the challenge. On the other hand, those owners of workshops which sit in the bottom of the local supply chains can do nothing but to live self- exploitative lives and face the perils of extinction. Introduction: Rural Industrialization and the Networked Production System Small size and flexibility have been regarded as the significant features of the post-war economic miracle in Taiwan. Within the miracle, a wide array of industrial entities of various sizes, including family workshop, single assemble line and factory, concentrated in the rural areas after the 1970s.

  • Implementing Coastal Inundation Data with an Integrated Wind Wave Model and Hydrological Watershed Simulations
    Terr. Atmos. Ocean. Sci., Vol. 23, No. 5, 513-525, October 2012 doi: 10.3319/TAO.2012.05.03.01(WMH) Implementing Coastal Inundation Data with an Integrated Wind Wave Model and Hydrological Watershed Simulations Dong-Sin Shih1, *, Tai-Wen Hsu 2, Kuo-Chyang Chang 3, and Hsiang-Lan Juan 3 1 Taiwan Typhoon and Flood Research Institute, National Applied Research Laboratories, Taichung, Taiwan 2 Department of Hydraulic and Ocean Engineering, National Cheng Kung University, Tainan, Taiwan 3 Water Resources Agency, Ministry of Economic Affairs, Taipei, Taiwan Received 29 September 2011, accepted 3 May 2012 ABSTRACT Coastal inundation due to wave overtopping coastal structures and storm surges often causes serious damage and danger to the population of Taiwan. Ascertaining the areas that are prone to coastal inundation is essential to provide countermeasures for mitigating the problem. Simulations without precipitation are examined in this study since overtopping has been deter- mined to be a controlling factor in coastal flooding. We present scenarios for the simulation of coastal flooding with a unified wind wave and hydrological watershed model. The eastern coastal areas in Taiwan are selected as the study area. Simulations show that the resulting waves and tidal levels, generated by the Rankin-Vortex model and wind wave calculations, can be successfully obtained from the input data during wave overtopping simulations. A watershed model, WASH123D, was then employed for surface routing. The simulations indicate that the low-lying Yilan River and Dezikou Stream drainage systems were among the primary areas subject to inundation. Extensive inundation along both sides of the river banks was obtained in the case of extreme overtopping events.

Mielke Received: 28 October 2016; Accepted: 10 January 2017; Published: 14 January 2017 Abstract: Chronic arsenic (As) exposure continues to be a public health problem of major concern worldwide, affecting hundreds of millions of people. A long-term groundwater quality survey has revealed that 20% of the groundwater in southern Taiwan’s Pingtung Plain is clearly contaminated with a measured As concentration in excess of the maximum level of 10 µg/L recommended by the World Health Organization. The situation is further complicated by the fact that more than half of the inhabitants in this area continue to use groundwater for drinking. Efforts to assess the health risk associated with the ingestion of As from the contaminated drinking water are required in order to determine the priorities for health risk management.

  • Hazard Ratings of Debris Flow Evacuation Sites in Hillside Communities of Ershui Township, Changhua County, Taiwan
    water Article Hazard Ratings of Debris Flow Evacuation Sites in Hillside Communities of Ershui Township, Changhua County, Taiwan Szu-Hsien Peng Department of Spatial Design, Chienkuo Technology University, No. 1, Chieh-Shou N. Rd., Changhua City 500, Taiwan; [email protected]; Tel.: +886-4-711-1111 (ext. 2256); Fax: +886-4-711-1126 Academic Editor: Miklas Scholz Received: 9 October 2015; Accepted: 1 February 2016; Published: 6 February 2016 Abstract: Global warming in recent years has resulted in climate change. To cope with future climate change and natural environment changes, much of our planning and thinking needs to be adjusted. To this end, safety and rapidness of evacuation have become primary research goals. In this study, geographic information and fuzzy expert systems are applied to debris flow evacuation sites in Ershui Township, Changhua County, for evaluating their hazard ratings. After a geographic information system is used to overlay the environmental sensitivity, FLO-2D is applied to simulate debris flow situations, and the results are utilized to establish a fuzzy expert system that successfully evaluates the hazard ratings of such sites in hillside areas. For future applications, another evaluation reference based on original evacuation sites and routes or evacuation mechanisms and disaster prevention models is proposed as a source of essential assistance to relevant sectors. Keywords: hazard rating; debris flow evacuation site; environmental sensitivity; fuzzy logic system; geographic information system (GIS) 1. Introduction The phenomenon of global warming and its climate change impacts are becoming increasingly apparent. Taiwan was seriously affected by Typhoon Morakot in August 2009 [1–4].
