Especially, the degree of consumption of the culture goods is the focus for paying attention to. Because the culture goods are process ways for the local industry and national economy combination, so our country needs to pay attention to this topic even more.

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.

  • Planning the Collection and Transportation of Rice Straw in Nantou County, Taiwan
    PLANNING THE COLLECTION AND TRANSPORTATION OF RICE STRAW IN NANTOU COUNTY, TAIWAN Y.-C. Chiu, S.-J. Guo, S. Chen, C.-Y. Tsai, J.-M. Tsai ABSTRACT. The purpose of this study was to design a rice straw collection and transportation method. Four bale forms were designed for processing 75,474 tons of rice straw produced in Nantou County: large large-round bale, small large- round bale, large small-round bale, and small small-round bale. Nine trucks, individually weighing 2, 3, 3.49, 6.2, 7.5, 11, 15.5, 17, and 24 tons, were used for transportation analysis. This study proposed six hypothetical scenarios for rice straw collection and transportation. For each scenario, centralized and noncentralized transportation were implemented, in which centralized transport involves a route from various townships to neighboring farmers’ associations to the final rice- straw treatment site, and noncentralized transport is direct delivery from various townships to the final treatment site. A geographic information system was consulted to construct a map for the locations of various townships and to assess the optimal routes for rice straw collection and transport. Considering the trucks of varying weights, the transportation costs of various rice straw delivery methods were calculated to determine the optimal collection and transportation locations. The results revealed that the optimal plant locations for rice straw processing and distribution are the rice straw production areas in Caotun Township, Nantou, Mingjian Township, and Jhushan Township. A centralized transportation of small large-round bale was the optimal method and form. The cost of rice straw collection and transportation is US$31.66 and US$20.7 per ton, respectively.

  • 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).

  • Solar Radiation Estimation Algorithm and Field Verification in Taiwan
    energies Article Solar Radiation Estimation Algorithm and Field Verification in Taiwan Ping-Huan Kuo 1 ID , Hsin-Chuan Chen 2 and Chiou-Jye Huang 3,* ID 1 Computer and Intelligent Robot Program for Bachelor Degree, National Pingtung University, Pingtung 90004, Taiwan; [email protected] 2 School of Computer Engineering, University of Electronic Science and Technology of China Zhongshan Institute, Zhongshan 528402, China; [email protected] 3 School of Electrical Engineering and Automation, Jiangxi University of Science and Technology, Ganzhou 341000, China * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 5 May 2018; Accepted: 22 May 2018; Published: 29 May 2018 Abstract: The power generation potential of a solar photovoltaic (PV) power generation system is closely related to the on-site solar radiation, and sunshine conditions are an important reference index for evaluating the installation of a solar PV system. Meanwhile, the long-term operation and maintenance of a PV system needs solar radiation information as a reference for system performance evaluation. Obtaining solar radiation information through the installation of irradiation monitoring stations is often very costly, and the cost of sustaining the reliability of the monitoring system, Internet stability and subsequent operation and maintenance can often be alarming. Therefore, the establishment of a solar radiation estimation model can reduce the installation of monitoring stations and decrease the cost of obtaining solar radiation information. In this study, we use an inverse distance weighting algorithm to establish the solar radiation estimation model. The model was built by obtaining information from 20 solar radiation monitoring stations in central and southern Taiwan, and field verification was implemented at Yuan Chang Township town hall and the Tainan Liujia campus.
