  • A Comparison of the Natural Resource Management Regimes of Tasmania and Taiwan
    A Comparison of the Natural Resource Management Regimes of Tasmania and Taiwan by Henry Cheng-li Chen B Sc, Chinese Culture University, Taipei, M Env St, University of Tasmania Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Environmental Studies) Centre for Environmental Studies School of Geography and Environmental Studies University of Tasmania Hobart, Australia February, 2000 DECLARATION Accept where duly acknowledged, this thesis contains no material which has been accepted for the award of any degree or diploma in any tertiary institution and, to the best of the candidate's knowledge and belief, contains no material previously published or written by another person, expect when due reference in made. Signed AUTHORITY OF ACCESS This thesis may be made available for loan and limited copying in accordance With the Copyright Act 1968. Signed •/1-1///---- i'2-41/° I. ABSTRACT This thesis examines and compares two natural resource management regimes, those of the Australian State of Tasmania and the sovereign state of Taiwan, with a focus upon their respective terrestrial natural reserve systems. Recommendations for future improvements are made for both islands. Taiwan is an island about half the size of Tasmania, yet the former has a population more than 48 times greater than the latter. The two island ecosystems are similar in some respects, but the contrasts are more marked than the similarities. It would be beneficial for both islands to share their experiences of natural resource management. This study undertakes such a comparison with a view to facilitating exchange of knowledge in the field of environmental management.
