Building Community Resilience via Developing Community Capital toward Sustainability
Developing community capital is widely viewed as a way to address community resilience-related issues toward sustainability. Based on a Taiwanese, peri-urban, Hakka settlement, this article presents findings on the practical factors in the development of community capital via farm-to-table and community care, and their implications for a resilient, healthy community. It shows that community capital arising from the pond farming, pond education, a…
Going out into the field
Landscape architecture education is a newly developed profession in Taiwanese higher education where the studio is the core curriculum. This paper discusses an alternative studio model where students construct their knowledge and skills through service-learning and participatory design in a real-world environment. A case study based on a first-year undergraduate landscape architecture studio using this system is used to explore the practical fact…
Static policy for dynamic landscape? A study of landscape notions expressed in planning policy and local people’s perception in Sicao, Taiwan
Today we recognise more clearly that landscape includes perceptual aspects, so landscape planning and policy should reflect people’s perception. But does it? Using a case study in Sicao, located in the south-west coastal area of Taiwan, this article examines the landscape notions expressed in the city landscape policy and in local people’s perception. The findings show differences in these notions of landscape. The state policy reflects a static …
Addressing watercourse sanitation in dense, water pollution-affected urban areas in Taiwan
The process of urbanization places urban watercourses at greater risk of the kind of pollution that affects public health, ecology and the environment. In Taiwan, municipal wastewater is the largest source of pollution in rivers and canals, particularly in dense urban areas that lack adequate sewer systems. As research on Taiwan’s watercourses is dominated by landscape design and ecological engineering, watercourse sanitation is rarely examined i…
Exploring the Quasi-naturalistic Landscaping Design of a Taiwanese Culverted Urban Stream
De-culverting is promoted to restore natural watercourses towards sustainable environmental management. However, the Taiwanese case of the Mei Stream develops quasi-naturalistic landscaping on top of its culverted areas for improvement. Whilst most case-related literature emphasises the success in public places, little is known about why such an approach is used. Therefore, this paper investigates the physical characteristics and considerations a…
The problems of watercourse redevelopment
The Taiwanese government has implemented nationwide educational schemes to promote the redevelopment of hard-engineered watercourses to create ones that are multi-functional. However, this project is not complete, particularly in densely populated, typhoon-affected urban areas. Whilst flood-risk perception is identified as a fundamental factor in promoting this redevelopment, its impact on knowledge dissemination, in this particular context, is l…
From policy to implementation
A nationwide policy has been implemented in Taiwan to promote the development of multi-functional watercourses towards flood protection, biodiversity and recreation. However, actual practice remains largely unchanged. As governance plays a major role in determining the fulfilment of the new agenda, little is known about the government's actual execution of this watercourse policy. Therefore, this qualitative study explores what governmental facto…
