In the developing history of city of Taiwan, Great Kaohsiung Area (including Kaohsiung City and Kaohsiung County) always act to lead the locomotive of heavy industry. These developments had created countless miracles economically but sacrificed the resident's living environment and inhabited quality of Great Kaohsiung Area at the same time, and made Kaohsiung becoming marginalization in the trend of humanism quality and afforest in the whole world. However, in order to make the city change in a way of lively personality, creatively and even more, to have humane breath of depth through the way of the urban renewal, it is necessary to reconstruct the city by the vision of residents. Accordingly, this research based on the regional development and resource such as Qiao-tou, Yun-chou, Zuoying, Nanzou, etc. to put forward and build a future development plan which constructs the College Town of Kaohsiung (CTK), hope to inject a whiff of fountainheads of innovation into excessively industrialized Great Kaohsiung Area. In this research of the construction of CTK, I set three subject parts: industry, education and living environment. I referred to relevant researches and the development policies of government in the past, cases of the developing history of foreign college town, and consulted the main person of industry, government, and academy to get the professional opinion to make this research more completely.

Master of Regional and Community Planning / Department of Landscape Architecture/Regional and Community Planning / Hyung-Jin Kim / What makes a city a place people love and want to live is the essence of livability. Livable cities are places where people can delight in a high quality of life. College towns are great places to live because their universities function as a cultural wealth and an economic anchor for the city. Using Manhattan, KS and Kansas State University (KSU) as a case study, this study utilizes a survey as an instrument to investigate the possible correlations and patterns between the perceived quality of life of permanent residents of college towns and their degree of interaction with their university’s campus. Using statistical analyses of this data, this study explores the relationships between a higher quality of life in Manhattan and a higher interaction with KSU. As well, it seeks to find what aspects of university interaction have the most impact on quality of life, if there are any shortfalls in quality of life in Manhattan, and if the university can play a role in the strategy to mitigate for these shortfalls. In this, town-gown relationships give insight to creating more livable cities as a whole.
