A Case of the Ict Industry in Taiwan K
Australasian Journal of Regional Studies, Vol. 13, No. 3, 2007 325 THE IMPACT OF AGGLOMERATIVE INDUSTRIAL DYNAMIC EXTERNALITIES ON REGIONAL TECHNOLOGY GAPS: A CASE OF THE ICT INDUSTRY IN TAIWAN Ku-Hsieh (Michael) Chen Graduate Institute of Industrial Economics, Tamkang University, 151 Ying-Chuan Road, Tamsui 25137, Taipei County, TAIWAN. ABSTRACT: All other things being equal, questions arise as to whether the location of firms in distinct regions will result in variations in their technology capabilities, and what the nature of the local industrial environment is that determines regional technology gaps. This study investigates these issues from a perspective of industrial agglomerative dynamic externalities, examining the roles played by three influential assertions on regional technology gaps, namely, the Marshall-Arrow-Romer (MAR), Porter and Jacobs hypotheses. The results tend to favour the contention of Porter hypothesis on the contribution of the nature of local industrial agglomeration to the production technologies of information and computer technology (ICT) firms. 1. INTRODUCTION Over the past two decades, there has been some considerable resurgence in interest in the discussion of the phenomenon of industrial agglomeration. The attention of regional and industrial public policy has also been drawn to the successful development of so-called ‘new industrial districts’ or ‘industrial clusters’, such as the electronics industries in Silicon Valley in the US, the clothing industry in Northern Italy and the Hsin-chu Science-based Industrial Park in Taiwan. Theoretically, the agglomeration of firms would provide effects of external economic benefits. As the classic argument of Alfred Marshall (1920), the emergence and maintenance of agglomeration has at least three origins, comprising of the development of a local pool of specialized labour, the increased provision of local non-tradable specialized inputs, and the maximum flow of information and ideas (Krugman, 1991). -

A New Fuzzy DEA/AHP Methodology for the Facility Layout Problem in a Fuzzy Environment
Proceedings of the 4th World Congress on Mechanical, Chemical, and Material Engineering (MCM'18) Madrid, Spain – August 16 – 18, 2018 Paper No. ICMIE 115 DOI: 10.11159/icmie18.115 A New Fuzzy DEA/AHP Methodology for the Facility Layout Problem in a Fuzzy Environment C.-K. Hu1, F.-B. Liu2, C.-F. Hu3 1Department of International Business, Kao Yuan University No. 1821, Jhongshan Rd., Lujhu, Kaohsiung, Taiwan [email protected] 2Department of Mechanical and Automation Engineering, I-Shou University No.1, Sec. 1, Syuecheng Rd., Dashu District, Kaohsiung, Taiwan [email protected] 3Department of Applied Mathematics, National Chiayi University No. 300 Syuefu Rd., Chiayi, Taiwan [email protected] Extended Abstract The facility layout problem has been a subject of tremendous interest in manufacturing system. It is concerned with the allocation of activities to space such that a set of criteria is met and/or some objectives are optimized. A number of formulations have been developed for the facility layout problem. Most of them involve over simplifying assumptions and request overwhelming computational efforts such that they cannot be manipulated with ease in practice [1]. To cope with the difficulties being the cause of this complexity and the vagueness involved in the real-world decision-making problem, this work develops a novel approach combining the Tchebycheff model in fuzzy data envelopment analysis (DEA) and the analytical hierarchical process (AHP) for evaluating the facility layout problem with multiple fuzzy criteria. The hybrid fuzzy DEA/AHP approach takes the best of both fuzzy DEA and AHP methods by avoiding the pitfalls of each. -

AGRICULTURE LANDSCAPE PLANNING BASED ON BIOTOP AREA FACTOR IN YUNLIN, TAIWAN Su-Hsin Lee1 and Jing-Shoung Hou2 1Professor, Department of Geography, National Taiwan Normal University NO.162, Heping East Rd., Section1, Taipei, Taiwan; Tel: +886-2-77341665 Email: [email protected] 2Professor, Department of Landscape Architecture at Tung-Hai University NO.20-5, Lane 128, Sec. 3 Chung-Gone Rd., Taichung 407, Taiwan; Tel: +886-4-24635298 Email: [email protected] KEY WORDS: landscape planning, agriculture, BAF ABSTRACT: Agriculture has been the primary industry in Yunlin area for hundreds years. It contributes to industrial and living landscape which continuously represents vivid cultural landscape of the area. The strategies of landscape planning in Yunlin area not only emphasis on improving landscape and environment, but also focus on sustaining agricultural culture through landscape planning. In addition, ecological consideration and adapt-for-environment land use guidelines should be applied for local environmental development in order to meet the goal of sustainable environment planning. In this case, Yunlin area’s local industries and economy can continuously develop in the process of landscape improvement considering social, economic, and ecological dimensions. The strategies demonstrate the concept of green infrastructure (G.I.). Therefore, this study uses biotope area factor (BAF) to analyse environmental resource of Yunlin area in order to contribute to agricultural landscape planning. The results show: 1)Yunlin area can be categorised into different sub-area of land use according to BAF. The categories include agriculture land, forest land, transportation land, water conservancy land, building land, public infrastructure land, recreation and leisure land, mining land, and the land for other use. -

We recruited a residential cohort of 2388 long-term residents Cancer aged above 35 years in 2009–2012 who lived within a 40 km radius of the complex. We measured their internal Incidence exposure biomarkers of urinary carcinogenic metals and retrospectively compared cancer incidences between Epidemiology those who lived fewer than 10 km from the complex (high exposure, HE) and those who lived more than 10 km Resident from the complex (low exposure, LE). Residents had lived in their respective areas for 12 years, since the complex began operating in mid-1999. This included two periods of operation: 0–9 years and 10–12 years. Crude cumulative incident rates (CIRs) of all cancers were calculated for new cancer cases (ICD-9: 140–165, 170–176, 179–208) recorded in the Taiwan Health Insurance Database over total person-years at risk in each study period. -
