| Zusammenfassung |
| The key factors of many discussions on shrinking towns are focusing at decreasing
population and declining industries. Our study, using Hsinchu County as an example, has
found that part of the county (Guanxi township) is following a typical and traditional town
development pattern, while somewhere else of this county (Zhubei township) shows rapid
growth in real estate but with a high vacancy rate. Even though the distance between Guanxi
and Zhubei is less than 20 kilometers, the spatial development phenomenon of the two
townships are both "shrinking" in the same county but very different in their developing
paths. This study used GIS to overlay the maps from field survey and archive data, such as
real estate prices of different years, environmental hazards and disaster records, local area
power consumptions, and vulnerable population data, to clarify the causes and systems
behind the shrinking phenomena of the two townships and to construct a theory of
"shrinking town" in Taiwan. The contribution of this study is the findings of the tangling
relations of the vulnerability from land-enclosure policy, the system design of local
industrial development and urban planning, and structural factors of environmental
hazards.
Note: This study is part of the results from the Ministry of Science and Technology
funding project (MOST 105-2621-M-120-002)
