  • City Image Analysis of Western Taipei Historic and Modern?
    International review for spatial planning and sustainable development, Vol.7 No.4 (2019), 18-36 ISSN: 2187-3666 (online) DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.14246/irspsd.7.4_18 Copyright@SPSD Press from 2010, SPSD Press, Kanazawa City Image Analysis of Western Taipei Historic and Modern? Liang-Gui Yu1* 1 Graduate Institute of Building and Planning, National Taiwan University * Corresponding Author, Email: [email protected] Received: February 15, 2018; Accepted: January 10, 2019 Key words: Iconology, City Image, Urban Regeneration Abstract: Taipei city is the capital of Taiwan, and the city government has applied to host several international events since 2000. Meanwhile, mayors have proposed the slogan “axis retroflexion” indicating the urban regeneration of old town areas. In July 2016, the city government and the National Geographic Channel started a documentary project “Inside: Reinventing Taipei” that cost 5 million NTD for the propaganda of the upcoming Taipei Universiade 2017. The narratives in the documentary indicate the interweaving of historical and modern city images. In this research, the development history of western Taipei is reviewed, and several official and non-official advertisements, movies, music videos, landscape architecture, events, and policy plans are chosen as texts to analyse the representation of the city images of western Taipei (Zhongzheng and Wanhua districts) under an iconological approach. To understand how those city images were produced, various aspects of urban politics and power are explored through this research. It is found that specific buildings and places, such as Chiang Kai- Shek Memorial Hall, the North Gate, the Red House Theatre, Longshan temple, and the Ximending shopping area, appeared in those texts frequently, epitomizing the development history of Western Taipei and policies across different periods.

  • “Novel Smart Map” Design for the Tourism Indus- Try
    “NOVEL SMART MAP” DESIGN FOR THE TOURISM INDUS- TRY Student, Hsin-Jung Lu, Department of Technology and Transportation Man- agement, National Chiao-Tung University, Hsinchu, Taiwan, ROC Professor, Lee, Tzong-Ru(Jiun-Shen), Department of Marketing National Chung-Hsing University, Taichung, Taiwan, ROC ABSTRACT The main function of the NOVEL SMART MAP(NSM) is to assist tourists who come to the Ximending area for sightseeing in Taipei, Taiwan, ROC. With this digitalized map, they can smoothly plan their schedules. The idea of Novel SMART MAP comes from that tourists won’t need to spend too much time in searching places to visit in general. The goal of NSM P is to make tourists’ use of time visiting local businesses more efficient. There are two character- istics in this modern map: First this map will reduce the probability of tourists wasting time going to a store which is “closed” on the day that they search. If the store is not open, the system will advise tourists to switch to another store with a similar style which is close to the “closed” store. The map provides an available “match” for both restaurant and recreational type businesses. The second advantage of NSM is that the system will tell tourists: when “YOU ARE READY TO GO!” so they do not need to wait in line, for example, to have a table at once in restaurant that they have chosen. There are two additional functions of this modern map. One is that coupons can be made available for the stores which may not appear by default on the search results of this map, as long as this business is willing to pay for the advertisement service charge.
