Note 1 Tainan and Kaohsiung area: Local rivers (IV) (Gaoping River system) Due to the cost (transportation) factor, the use of gravel aggregates shows differences in regions. Note 1: The quality of materials from dredging works in mountain streams is relatively low, and the materials are used to supply other industry peers for the construction projects in mountain areas.

Table by reporter Yi-Ping Hsu According to the real estate information platform of the Ministry of the Interior, of the 8.81 million houses nationwide with household registration in 2020 Q2, 4.36 million of them are more than 30 years old, which meet the criteria for urban renewal and old buildings renovation. Assuming that each rebuilt property averages about 30 pings at NT$100,000 per ping, the opportunity for construction would value as much as 13 trillion, nearly 70% of last year's GDP. P.7 "Reconstruction and Urban Renewal of Old Buildings" that has been introduced for only three years has approved nearly a thousand projects worth about 100 billion According to statistics from the Ministry of the Interior, of the 1,462 projects applied for reconstruction of old buildings program nationwide, 935 of them have been approved as of the end of August 2020, and each 1 project averaged about 205 pings in space. Taipei City has the most at 292, accounting for 31% of the nationwide total. In contrast, the urban renewal program that has been implemented for more than 20 years has approved 898 cases nationwide as of the end of August. The reconstruction of old buildings program, with almost more than 1,000 projects, introduced for 3 years has exceeded the urban renewal program and become the main focus in the new city project. 2 According to the statistics of the Residential Development Magazine, the new construction projects introduced to the market through urban renewal and reconstruction of old buildings in Taipei City the past three years have accounted for 33% in 2018, 42% in 2019, and 65% as the end of July 2020 of all residential projects. P.8 II. Company's Business Opportunities and Their Specific Results and Goals (I) Analysis of the current and future “operating environment (opportunities)”: In view of the repatriation of Taiwanese businesses and expansion of foreign companies in Taiwan, as well as the clustering effect of TSMC and other major companies, it is becoming difficult to find land plots near Tainan Science Park and Hsinchu Science Park. The “Tainan Park” is especially popular, as it has expanded south to Xinhua, Rende, and 1 Guiren, and north to Anding, Xigang, and Madou. The “Taiwan Sugar Machouhou Industrial Park” in Puzi of Chiayi also already has large companies taking spaces. The “Kaohsiung Science Park” has also added Qiaotou Industrial Park and “Renwu Industrial Park”, showing an unprecedented housing boom. It will drive the recovery and rise of the previously unpopular industrial parks in places such as the ones in the coastal area of Changhua, Puzih(with Yi-jhu) of Chiayi, and 2 Nanzih Export Processing Zone of Kaohsiung. The emerging industrial parks will drive the demand and prosperity of the surrounding 3 construction and real estate properties. Industry migration + Construction in place + Population migration ≒ New town. The "520 Deadline" meant to demolish factories illegally built after May 20, 2016, gradually helped the movement of factories on farmland to industrial land, creating larger clusters which 4 also drove companies' demand for industrial land and plant construction. In order to solve the problems of demand for industrial land, the program of the renewal of 5 factories and offices will accelerate to create energy-saving, smart, energy storage-enabled, and functional factories and offices. P.9 The abovementioned high-end electronics factories highly value quality and speed. Only those who are capable of conducting pouring of factories of large-scale technology 6 companies and landmark buildings within a short time have the capability to receive such orders, so leading listed companies are usually the suppliers of these projects. The Ministry of the Interior has actively amended laws to establish floor area ratio incentives for urban renewal.

Received: 23 December 2012; in revised form: 20 January 2013 / Accepted: 31 January 2013 / Published: 13 February 2013 Abstract: High-technology industries provide opportunities for economic growth, but also raise concerns because of their energy-demanding nature. This paper provides an integrated evaluation of both economic benefits and energy efficiency of high-technology industries based on the real data from one of the globally recognized high-technology industrial clusters, the national science parks in Taiwan. A nation-wide industrial Input-Output Analysis is conducted to demonstrate the positive effects of science parks on national economic developments and industrial upgrades. The concept of energy intensity and an energy-efficient economy index are applied to an integrated assessment of the relationship between economic growth and energy consumption. The proposed case study suggests that economic and energy efficiency objectives can be simultaneously achieved by the development of high-technology industries, while three energy policy implications are considered.

The aim of this paper is to provide empirical evidence to study the role of Kaohsiung Science Park (KSP), the branch of Southern Taiwan Science Park (STSP), in the regional development process by studying the actors participating in the project “Biomedical Devices Industrial Cluster Establishment Project”. According to this study, the main influence factors possibly include the population, transportation, the number of employee, supermarket, and the tenanted companies, etc. With the collection of information about the aforesaid influence factors for four years, we are trying to analyze how the KSP changes the industry in the city; in addition, how the Southern Taiwan Science Park Administration (STSPA) cooperated with local research institute, Metal Industries Research & Development Centre (MIRDC), to help the park industries.
