    Taipei: an Example of Integrated E-Ticketing to Favour Intermodality

    XIII Retour au sommaire Taipei: an example of Integrated e-Ticketing Back to menu to favour intermodality Gérard NAJMAN Thales Transportation Systems S.A. [email protected] Abstract The Taipei City Government decided in 1999 to invest in an ambitious integrated contactless card system (EasyCard) with the political objective to provide “one card for all”, including the payment of car park in connection with the public transport network, and therefore to attract people “out of their cars”. The EasyCard is a stored value card enabling its holder to travel all over the Public Transport network: each operator deducts the appropriate fare to be paid in relation with relevant transfer rules to encourage the use of public transport. The system now includes the 6 metro lines, 5 000 buses operated by 15 companies, 92 city owned parking lots and 3,000 on street parking spaces. EasyCard has been successful: there are now 13 million cards in circulation for a population of 6.4 million inhabitants. The benefits of EasyCard concern the passengers, as well as the Taipei City Government and the Public Transport Operators. La municipalité de Taipei a décidé en 1999 d’investir dans un ambitieux système billettique (EasyCard) dans l’objectif politique de promouvoir “une carte unique”, incluant le paiement de parking de liaison avec les transports publics, et ainsi d’extirper les habitants de leur voiture. L’EasyCard est une carte dotée d’une réserve d’argent permettant à son porteur de voyager sur l’intégralité du réseau de transport : chaque exploitant débite le tarif approprié en fonction des règles applicables en matière de correspondance intermodale, afin de favoriser l’usage des transports publics.

Development of healthy cities in Taiwan The healthy cities movement began in 1986. It was first promoted by the WHO Regional Office for Europe, and primarily targeted European cities. After almost two decades of work, the results have been very good, and European healthy cities are now exemplars for the world. As a result, WHO regional offices have started to advocate healthy cities for each of their regions. In Taiwan, the Republic of China decided to participate in the healthy cities movement in the beginning of the new Millennium. The Bureau of Health Promotion (BHP), Department of Health called for a pilot proposal in 2003, a cross-disciplinary team of scholars at National Cheng Kung University won the project, and found collaboration from Tainan City, thus, pioneered the healthy city development in Taiwan. BHP has since continued to fund other local authorities to promote healthy cities, including Miaoli County, Hualien County, Kaohsiung City and Taipei County. Since the results have been excellent, some other counties and cities have also allotted budgets to commission related departments for implementation.

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.
