CENTRAL TAIWAN SCIENCE PARK CENTRAL TAIWAN SCIENCE PARK 2009 Annual Report A Rising Star in the East Striding out into the world from central Taiwan; in the future, we will make Taiwan not only the Silicon Island, but also one of the leading places for technology R&D not just in Asia, in the whole world. Science parks are an important economic lifeline for Taiwan. Over the last 30 years, they created an economic miracle, becoming the pride of Taiwan and winning it a reputation for being the "Silicon Island." In the six years since its establishment, the Central Taiwan Science Park (CTSP) has developed Taichung, Huwei, Houli, the soon to expand Erlin and the Advanced Research Park developing a land area totaling 4143 acres. It has attracted 100 major high-tech manufacturers such as AU Optronics, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company, Winbond Electronics, ProMOS Technologies, Corning (Taiwan), and Nitto Denko (Taiwan), with authorized capital stock totaling NT$ 1.7 trillion (US$ 53.13 billion). By the end of 2009, 66 companies had begun operations, employing over 20,000 people, with revenues of NT$ 241.2 billion (US$ 7.53 billion) for the year, achieving legendary status in the history of science parks in Taiwan. The global impact of last year's economic tsunami resulted in major decreases in revenues and profits for most industries, and Central Taiwan Science Park's revenues decreased significantly for a time. During that difficult and critical period, CTSP Administration implemented a number of incentives and subsidies to assist manufacturers in increasing their research and development and innovation capabilities; at the same time, affected by both the recovering economic outlook and continually warming trade relations between Taiwan and mainland China, the value of output in the park soon stopped decreasing and began rising again, producing better results than forecast. In order to complement the administrative division of President Ma's Industrial Innovation Corridors project, part of the iTaiwan 12 Development Projects initiative, since the August 20, 2008 confirmation that the Central Taiwan Science Park's fourth phase of expansion would be based in Erlin, Changhua County, the CTSP faced the strictest Environmental Impact Assessment in its history. After eight months of evaluation work, and with the help of the combined dedication of all A Rising Star in the East departments, work on the site began in December 2009, demonstrating the government's commitment to fully supporting industrial development. At the same time, developing the Advanced Research Park is another important task for the Administration. The Administration will continue to push its development forward, and forecasts that R&D companies will be able to set up operations there before the end of 2010. Looking into the future, the CTSP will continue to pursue the goals of a sustainable park, completing park infrastructure and improving the living environment, as well as continually introducing new R&D energy, working to promote international cooperation and exchange, encouraging high-tech industries to stay in Taiwan, and further develop CTSP into three major industrial groupings: ● Global optronics development center: Attract manufacturers of next-generation or higher optronics. ● G lobal new generation wafer manufacturing cluster: Become the region with the highest concentration of 12 inch wafer manufacturers. ● G lobal base of development of the precision machinery industry: Create a new trillion dollar industry. Reaching these goals will help make the CTSP the world's most competitive science park. Director General March 2010 Working Together for the Future— With our passion, with our skill, despite the difficulties and the economic crisis faced, a new page has been turned for the technology industry, creating a future of unlimited possibilities for Taiwan…… Longtan Science Park Hsinchu Biomedical Science Park Jhunan Science Park Hsinchu Science Park Hsinchu Science Park Tongluo Science Park Yilan Science Park Taichung Airport Houli Science Park Taichung Harbor Taichung Science Park Erlin Central Taiwan Science Park Science Advanced Research Park Park Huwei Science Park Tainan Science Park Southern Taiwan Science Park Kaohsiung Science Park 4 （Provided by AUO） ︱Origins︱ After the Executive Yuan ratified the Central Taiwan Science Park Preparation Plan on September 23, 2002, it was decided that public works projects and factory building would be carried out simultaneously. With the joint efforts of the central and local governments, work began in the CTSP just 10 months and five days after the plan was approved, setting a new record for efficiency in the development of science parks. Due to a flood of manufacturer investment, the Executive Yuan approved the addition of the Houli Science Park on June 27, 2005, setting yet another development record of nine months and four days when manufacturers began to build factories on the site on March 31, 2006. On October 27, 2004, AU Optronics set yet another record in science park development when it began operating a mere 15 months after construction of its factory began. As of Longtan Science Park Hsinchu Biomedical the end of December 2009, the CTSP has permitted 100 manufacturers to build factories Science Park in the area, with planned investment totalling NT$1.7 trillion (Us$51.13 billion), and 66 Jhunan Science Park Hsinchu

During the past few months the battle in Taiwan about the proposed Economic Cooperation Framework Agreement (ECFA) with China intensified further, leading to daily heated exchanges in the press, an April 25th TV debate between DPP Chairwoman Tsai Ing-wen and President Ma Ying-jeou, a May 20th Open Letter by international scholars to Legislative Speaker Wang Jin-pyng, and street demonstrations in Taiwan.

ABSTRACT The 921 Taiwan Chi-Chi earthquake incurred tremendous disaster to the central region of the island, particularly to Taichung and Nantou counties. Most of the bridges on the provincial and county routes in Taichung, Nantou, Changhua, and Yunlin counties escaped from serious damage, while approximately 20% of them suffered minor-to-major damage. The construction completion dates of those bridges range from 1960 through 1999. Damage to these bridges include fault rupturing, collapsed spans, landslides, soil settlement, slope failures, flexural and/or shear failures, and liquefaction. This paper begins with a brief description on the evolution of seismic design code for bridges in Taiwan, followed by a general depiction of the performance of highway bridges located in the four counties during the earthquake. Several major damaged bridges with typical damage modes are illustrated and explored. Lessons learned from the field observations and suggestions made on research needs are also discussed.

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.
