ABSTRACT Coast zones are ecology sensitive areas, coastal wetlands may provide many biological, chemical and physical functions. However, as a result of economy develops, it makes many industrial estate and large-scale reclamation along the coast, the coastal wetlands are facing critical threatens, includes of habitat loss, industrial wastewater, wetlands degradation , fishery reduction and coastal zones erosion. In order to achieve the sustainable use of coastal resources and pure industrial wastewater and provide wildlife habitat, creating or restoring wetlands may resolve many problems in Taiwan¡¦s coastal zones. Coastal wetlands restoration, enhancement, and creation can clear up wastewater, increase wetlands and slow environmental destruction. Coastal wetlands also achieve recreational, educational , cultural functions, environmental education, and sustainable development of Taiwan¡¦s coastal zones. This thesis collect constructed wetlands history, and application cases, aim at the sensitive coastal in Taiwan to suggest constructed wetlands strategies. Keywords: Coastal Zone, Wetland, Constructed Wetland, Taiwan.

­^¤åºK­n¡G The companies in Taiwan have invested rapidly in Mainland China from 90's. The trend of investment focus on IT industry. There are many capital to flow to China. On the other hand¡Athe problem of China's capital which flow to Taiwan is more and more serious. Under the regulation of WTO , Taiwan must face the problem of capital of China. The study is to research the flow of money in Taiwan and China. Finally it is evaluated the affection from the viewpoint of national security.

Abstract Ever since the early 90¡¦s the global software market has been growing at a rapid speed, even faster than that of the hardware market. Along with the development of Internet and e-commerce, the demands for software have been continuously on the rise. The Taiwan software industry has to improve the quality of its software products in order to compete in the international IT arena. The present best option is for the Taiwanese software firms to achieve the Software Engineering Institute¡¦s Capability Maturity Model certification. This study shows that the obstacles Taiwanese software firms in adopting Capability Maturity Model can be categorized into three main factors: human resources, environment, and technology. Therefore, the software industry must start solving these issues to improve quality and Subsequently attain international standard.

A unifying goal of plant systematics is in pursuit of a natural system that means phylpgenetic relationships. We can construct it by means of various characters. There are many arguments about generic circumscription of Pteridophyta. It¡¦s worth while to reexamine some characters, such as trichome. Trichomes have long been considered one of the most important characters by pteridologists. However, The study of trichomes in Taiwan is very rare. In the present study, trichome morphology is used to assess phylogenetic relationships among genera of Dryopteridaceae (sensu Kramer et al.) . The observation of trichomes focus on hairs on the lamina and scales on the base of stipes. Lamina surface hairs are classified into unicellular hairs, club-like unicellular glands, uniseriate hairs, spine-like hairs, appressed glandular hairs, uniseriate hairs with a glandular head and verruca. Stipe base scale margins are classified into entire, serrate, unicellular branch, uniseriate branch, multicellular branch with a glandular head, and dorsi-ventral branch. Color distribution and branch dimension of scales were also good differentiation characters. The main taxonomic conclusions are as follows: (1)Trichome characters support the distinctness of Nothoperanema, Peranema, Polystichm, Dryopsis, Ctenitis, Tectaria, Athyrium, Cystopteris, Acystopteris, and Woodsia; (2) Diplazium and Dryopteris are hererogenous and show little correaltion to exist system. The latter two genera need further research.

This study is to discuss how the Taiwan corporations (Uni-Prisident, Giant, Les Enphants, NB) build the successful brand equity in China Market. The theory base is according to the Brand Equity that proposed by David A. Aaker. There are five dimensions: brand loyalty, brand awareness, brand association, perceivable quality, and other brand assets. The conclusions of this study are presented as follows: 1. The Activity of Brand Equity As to the brand equity, this study considers that the brand awareness and association come from the channel development and the media application. The corporations do their best to create the consumption experience beyond the expectation and establish the trust relationship between each other. In this way, the brand loyalty and perceivable quality could be accumulated. 2. The Control Force of the Terminal Channel In the brand equity development procedure, the control force of the terminal channel plays a critical role. There are two reasons. One is there is still no a developed channel partner in China market. One is the partners or co-workers whose business ethics, management skills are more suspected in China. So, to control the development of terminal channel will execute the truly brand sprits and values certainly. 3. The Brand Equity Activity is duplicable or not The brand loyalty, awareness and perceivable quality are more duplicable than brand association and other brand assets. 4. The Process of the Brand Establishment In the process, this study concludes that the main brand activities in the business stages (preparation, establishment, expansion and experienced) of the four cases are consistent and there is a logical procedure in the execution of the brand equity dimensions.

Thanks to Taiwan¡¦s geographic advantage of being located in subtropics, tropical fruits in Taiwan have high quality. There is never shortage of variously fresh and high-quality fruits in four seasons of a year in Taiwan, which should have gained Taiwan competitive advantages in international markets and should have made Taiwan nominated to be a standard for international markets. However, a large number of problems and difficulties in production and marketing system of the fruit industry have caused tropical fruits in Taiwan unable to get into foreign markets. The prospect of this research is to find out the influential marketing factors by carefully examining export and other related difficulties; consequently, the purpose of this research is to find out the most effective solutions among a large number of marketing factors to help the fruit industry in Taiwan out of difficulties. The research methods used in this study are interviewing fruit production and marketing professionals to analyze the fruit export difficulties, assisted with marketing 4P and STP structure, brand thesis, and real case studies. With the above mentioned methods, I structurally analyze difficulties and problems. According to the findings of this research, tropical fruits in Taiwan evidently have powerful competitive advantages; however, the ¡§Product¡¨ aspect of 4P is still the major factor that should be solved at first when tropical fruits in Taiwan confront export competition. All of the followings, fruit classification, production capacity management, packing, freezing, inspection, brand and the other related factors, are the main problems mentioned consistently by professionals. This research also finds that ¡§brand¡¨ makes industry, government, schools reach one accord; therefore, it should be taken as our long-term developmental direction and the best strategy to resuscitate Taiwan¡¦s fruits in international markets. Nevertheless, as it is shown on the related documents, Council of Agriculture¡¦s brand identification system is nothing more than just providing a name to a species of fruit, which is unable to build up its fame to domestic consumers and much less to foreign markets. According to the above findings of this research, four suggestions are proposed as follows: 1. Establishment of national brand series: to take advantage of Taiwan¡¦s great fame, using its name to sell our tropical fruits, and to take rural towns¡¦ or Co-operatives¡¦ brand as the sub-brand or the extensive brand. 2. Brand clock: to promote and cross sell fruits in different seasons based on different fruit periods. To construct brand life span with brand clock by taking national brand as the principal axis and assisted with season fruits¡¦ production periods; as a result, Taiwan¡¦s fruits can be sufficiently provided to export markets all the year around, keeping out from unstable supply that Taiwan has confronted for a long time. 3. Market Segmentation and Positioning: tropical fruits enjoy the advantage of freshness and numerous species, but they are difficult to keep fresh. Although freezing technology has been improved a lot, keeping tropical fruits fresh during a long distance transportation is always a real challenge. Consequently, choosing a proper market to do marketing according to the feature of every kind of fruit is highly recommended. This will avoid fruit quality from declining caused by blindly selling all fruits to uncompetitive markets or caused by a long distance transportation. Both of the above situations will cause a negative impact on brand. 4. Fruit identification: to take fruits that agricultural units can easily promote as the major products, to enhance production, to abandon uncompetitive species of fruits, to effectively manage and control fruit cultivating technology (Intelligent property right and species control), and to promote fruit identification system. All of the above methods will help Taiwan¡¦s fruit industry have their competition in the market.

¡§Strategic voting behavior¡¨ means that when there are three or more candidates competing in one certain election, voters, under rational consideration, think that their most favorite candidate has no chance of winning at all, and recognize that their voting for this candidate will cause their least favorite candidate to win; therefore, voters can only choose to vote for their second favorite candidate to avoid from their most undesirable outcome. In the 2000 presidential election, the three major contenders of Lien Chan, Chen Shui-bian, and James Soong were equally competitive, which created a context of strategic voting. This study therefore used ¡§strategic voting¡¨ as a main theme to investigate the voters¡¦ voting behavior in the 2000 presidential election. The present study analyzed data at both macro and micro levels. At the macro level, it was found that lots of KMT¡¦s votes shifted to the campaigns of either Chen Shui-bian or James Soong, which more or less demonstrated voters¡¦ low stability for partisan voting in this election, and to some degree was a result of voters¡¦ strategic voting behavior. At the micro level, it revealed that Lien Chan, who was considered the most competent, was always voters¡¦ second best choice before the election. That is, voters felt neutral towards Lien Chan, who was neither voters¡¦ most favorite candidate nor the least desired one, and additionally Lien Chan had long been the weakest in the poll, which made him the most likely to be abandoned. The result of the election also showed that among the voters who adopted the strategy of ¡§abandoning someone to save another¡¨, fewest chose to ¡§save Lien Chan.¡¨ Hence, voters did have ¡§strategic voting behavior¡¨ in the 2000 presidential election, and Lien Chan obviously claimed the highest percentage of voters¡¦ abandoned candidate.

Several cruises of current measurements along various cross-Taiwan Strait transects were conducted by using shipboard Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP) during 2001-2003. The main purpose of these experiments is to obtain seasonal variations of flow structures and volume transport in the central and southern regions of the Taiwan Strait. In each cruise the semidiurnal tidal currents were eliminated from the ADCP currents by two different methods, i.e., the phase averaging method and the TSNOW calculation. The subtidal current in the Taiwan Strait generally flows in the parallel-strait direction. In summer when the southwest monsoon prevails, the water in the strait originates from the South China Sea (SCS) or the Kuroshio. This northward-flowing water is divided into two parts by the archipelago of Penghu; the majority keeps flowing northward along the Penghu Channel (PHC), the minority flows northwestward around the Penghu Island. The flows in the surface layer of the PHC reach a maximum speed of 60 cm/s or greater. In winter, strong NE winds push the fresh and cold China Coastal water southward, along the western part of the Taiwan Strait. The SCS or Kuroshio water still flows northward on the eastern part of the strait. The maximum northward current still occurs in the PHC and is around 20 cm/s or less in the winter. Our results from the phase averaging method of all six cruises indicate that the net transports along the Taiwan Strait are all flowing northward, with a maximum value of about 2.5 Sv in summer (August 2001) and a minimum value of about 0.5 Sv in winter (March 2003). The standard deviation of the volume transport is 0.3 Sv. Due to its greater depths and strong currents, the volume transport in the PHC amounts to approximately 75% of the total transport of the Taiwan Strait. Based on the phase averaging results, the transport is related to the along-strait wind by a simple regression: , the sign convention is positive for southwesterly wind and transport.

The Chaochou Fault (CCF) is both an important lithologic boundary and a significant topographic feature in the Taiwan orogenic belt. It is the geologic boundary between the Slate Belt to the east, and the Western Foothills to the west. Although the fault is known to be a high angle oblique sinistral thrust fault in places, both its kinematic history and its current role in the development of the orogen are poorly understood. Field fabric data suggest that structural orientations vary along strike, particularly in the middle segment, the suspected location of the intersection of the on-land Eurasian continent-ocean boundary and the Luzon Island Arc. Foliation/solution cleavage is oriented NE-SW and in the northern and southern sections, but ESE-WNW in the middle segment. Slip lineations also reveal a change in fault motion from dip-parallel in the north to a more scattered pattern in the south. This correlates somewhat with recent GPS results, which indicate that the direction of current horizontal surface motion changes along strike from nearly perpendicular to the fault in the northern field area, to oblique and nearly parallel to the fault in the southern field area. The magnitude of vertical surface motion vectors, relative to Lanyu Island, decreases to the south. Surface morphology parameters, including mountain front sinuosity and valley floor width/valley height ratio indicate higher activity and uplift in the north. These observations correlate well with published apatite/zircon fission track data that indicate un-reset ages in the south, and reset ages in the northern segment. Geodetic and geomorphic data indicate that the northern segment of the CCF and Slate Belt are currently undergoing rapid uplift related to oblique arc-continent collision between the Eurasian continent and the Luzon arc. The southern segment is significantly less active perhaps because the orogen is not yet involved in direct arc-continent collision.

Over the past 50 years, the success of SME development in Taiwan has played an important role in the economic growth, and even today, many developing countries are interested in learning from Taiwan¡¦s experience. In fact, SME development in Taiwan has made remarkable contributions to the expanding of foreign trade, the strengthening of market competitiveness, the boosting of national income, the creation of jobs opportunities, the balancing of regional development, and the influence on social stability. In this study, we first studied the key success factors in Taiwan¡¦s SME development through the review of related literature. Then, we attempted to find that the majority of scholars and experts had a common view of Taiwan¡¦s SME key success factors, which are concluded as social culture and psychology factors, historical and economic factors, and government policy factor. Secondly, we intended to make questionnaires from the Ministry of Industry and Trade, the Mongolian Chamber of Commerce and Industry, and SME owners. The main purpose is to research for the opinions of three different parties on SME development in Mongolia, such as government roles, present situation, future development strategies, and opportunities to learn from Taiwan¡¦s experience and successful development factors. Here were 120 responses received at the end of this survey. The data were analyzed by SPSS software using descriptive statistics, one way ANOVA, Pearson¡¦s correlation, and factor analysis. The results showed that there were significant differences between the three organizations. In addition, this research tried to make an effort to suggest future SME development strategies in Mongolia on the basis of external and internal environment analyses using a SWOT model. Finally, on the basis of above results, we proposed several policy recommendations for relevant organizations that get lessons from Taiwan¡¦s experience and revealed some key success factors in SME development into the ground of Mongolia.
