碩士 / 東海大學 / 建築學系 / 99 / The threat of climatic change and all kinds of predictions are omnipresent today.
We pursue the latest data for rising sea level and drastic climatic patterns, but we overlook the imminent crisis in the coastal areas of Taiwan. It risks the danger of falling behind in the global contest for climate control. In fact, the coastal areas in today's Taiwan present itself at the same time as a crisis and an opportunity for transformation.
Improper use of coastal lands over years has made the sandy soil of western coasts even more vulnerable. Over-development of fish farming industry has led to both market profit and draining of underground water. Land subsidence and flooding in consequence call for large sum of annual budget for water management, which did not yet yield encouraging results.
What we need is a holistic strategy and forward vision for the island's water management. Inconsistency in strategic planning only leads to operations dictated by contingency, patchworks difficult to be integrated from head water areas to estuaries. Each year during Typhoon seasons disasters abound in the island. The prospect can be worse if effective plans are not drawn and put to action.
In response to nature's warning, this project has proposed to rely on the natural mechanisms found in coastal areas. Taking resources from nature and feeding back to nature can effectively protect both humankind and the ecology. The technique of coral reef rehabilitation is made use of in fostering oyster reef. A proposed new industry of oyster farming is the beginning for changing humankind's attitude toward the sea. It alleviates the threat of encroaching sea water and creates in the process a unique "amphibious" life style for islanders.
