  • Protected Areas and Indigenous People in Taiwan
    Department of Urban Studies and Planning The University of Sheffield Territoriality, Resistance and Indigenous Development in Protected Areas: A Political Ecology Analysis of Truku People in Eastern Taiwan Wu-Long Jhuang A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy January 2018 ABSTRACT Indigenous areas in Taiwan were a ‘special administrative region’ during the Japanese colonial period (1895-1945). The Japanese police controlled the primary aspects of everyday life of indigenous people. Some policies concerning indigenous people have been continued in the post-colonial regimes of Han Chinese until now. Protected areas (PAs) have been established since the 1980s by central government when Taiwan was still under the martial law. National parks are typical protected area with rigorous conservation restrictions. Some protected areas actually overlapped with the traditional domains of indigenous people. Community conservation is a participatory protected area and has emerged around the 1990s. It is seen as a reform of fortress protected areas such as parks because it integrates both objectives of conservation and development. The rolling back of the state and empowerment of the local community are assumed to be the features of such a reformed policy. Community conservation has become popular among indigenous communities of Taiwan since 2000. This study aims to look at the interactions between state authorities and local indigenous people in PAs. Two Truku villages in east Taiwan were selected as case studies, as one is in Taroko National Park while the other conducted a community conservation project in the 2000s. Qualitative methods were employed for data collection. Drawing from the theory of political ecology, a framework is constructed drawing together human territoriality, resistance, and social impacts.

    Developments in Tourism Climatology – A. Matzarakis, C. R. de Freitas, D. Scott, 2007 BIOCLIMATE AND TOURISM POTENTIAL IN NATIONAL PARKS OF TAIWAN T.-P. Lin1 and A. Matzarakis2 1Department of Leisure Planning, National Formosa University, 632 Yunlin, Taiwan 2Meteorological Institute, University of Freiburg, D-79085 Freiburg, Germany [email protected] (Tzu-Ping Lin) ABSTRACT Possible changes in global climate will affect tourism, as most tourism takes place outdoors. The research presented here analyzes single climatological parameters such as air temperature and rain. It also includes an analysis of thermal comfort conditions in four National Parks in Taiwan. The analysis is based not only on mean values of parameters and factors but also on frequencies of classes of individual climatological parameters and thermal comfort factors based on the division of 10-day intervals and an analysis of extreme events, which are important for tourism. The temporal-spatial distribution and mobility of tourists is also discussed based on the climatological parameters in order to present the potential of tourism in each National Parks in Taiwan KEYWORDS: Tourism Climatology, Physiologically Equivalent Temperature, National Parks Taiwan INTRODUCTION Previous studies reveal that weather and climate are important factors for tourism decision making (Lin et al., 2006, Hamilton and Lau, 2005, de Freitas, 2003, Matzarakis et al., 2004). In order to evaluate the suitability of climate for tourism, several climate-tourism indices were employed in past research (Murray, 1972, Rackliffe, 1965, Davies, 1968, Yapp and Mc Donald, 1978, Mieczkowski, 1985). However, some important issues still need to be clarified with regards to the practical aspect of tourism-climate information.
