【 摘 要 】

Highly developed cities dating from 1970s of Taiwan have recently encountered a set of problems commonly known as urban decay, resulting in the relocation of urban business districts and high levels of out-migration. This study examines the impact of the various urban-renewal policies, laws and decrees that have been enacted to remedy this situation, as well as the effects of these measures on urban disaster prevention. Based on historical data, textual analysis and field research, it concludes that these governmental strategies, while important to the goal of urban renewal, have also been the cause of new urban-development problems such as traffic congestion, extreme population density, and deficiencies in the amount open space. This is traced to a lack of integration of large-scale development goals and strategies with specific urban-renewal areas' plans Part of the problem appears to be that the Taiwanese government usually adopts only a floor area incentive strategy to promote public participation. The authors recommend that it deploy a more diverse array of strategies, including but not limited to tax incentives, accelerated renewal processes, and regional rewards. The authors also highlight how real-estate development enterprises' design strategies and quality-control processes for residential construction can serve the goals of urban disaster prevention as well as urban renewal.
