1、Meeting and follow-up of progress
The task force convenes once in 1 to 2 months for project coordination and follow-up with progress of the project. The overall direction and resource sharing will be discussed. The faculty and the students will share their insight with one another and jointly review if the project unfolds in a direction congruent with the scheme. The quarterly OKR indicators have also been established as routine tracking material. The content of works and the progress will be tracked by the Master Scheme, and will be reported to the Office of Sustainable Development and Social Responsibility for follow-up.
2、Organizing SIG Activities
During Phase III of this project, a SIG event titled “Thriving with Environment and Advancement with Bamboo” will be held, involving five schools that promote bamboo-related goals for inter-school exchange. Relevant industry, government, academia, and research units from across Taiwan will also be invited to participate in discussions regarding the current regulations and standards governing the bamboo industry in Taiwan, along with the challenges and improvement measures. This initiative aims to inventory, allocate, and match the resources of the bamboo industry in Taiwan, coordinating efforts to guide the industry toward feasible development directions. The findings will be publicly available for reference by related units.
3、Compilation of the University Social Responsibility Report
support the Office of Sustainability Development and Social Responsibility in the compilation of the annual University Social Responsibility Report and disclose to the public the result of our effort.
4、Satisfaction survey on the activities
In alignment with the direction of rolling adjustment of the scheme to the needs of the field, this task force will design an appropriate questionnaire for the survey of opinions depending on the participants as reference for holding activities in the future. At the end of the year, we will also support the Office of Sustainable Development and Social Responsibility in conducting an annual satisfaction survey as reference for the overall planning and cooperation of the scheme for the next year.
1、Assistance and upgrade of local effort in disaster prevention under climate change
In phase II of the scheme, training courses on topics of resilient community and voluntary prevention of disasters will the advocated in Yisheng Li and Baling Church of Fuxing District, as this local community has an understanding and the capacity in voluntary prevention of disasters. The topics of extreme weather and net zero carbon emission have attracted increasing attention over the years. Further to the planning of voluntary prevention in the strategy of rescue in disasters, the government should also map out the disaster prevention policy under special conditions in responding to the geographic environment of the local community and the disasters frequently occurred, and study on the emerging topics of climate change and disasters so as to strengthen the capacity in responding to disasters.
2、Horizontal integration of advocating disaster prevention education
Further to the advocacy of voluntary disaster prevention at the local community in joint effort, this task force will work in cooperation with Yi Sheng Primary School in the advocacy of disaster prevention education in Phase II of the scheme. We will let the school pupils to familiarize their local environment through the making of land model on topics of disaster prevention and introduction of the disaster prevention monitoring learning equipment and interface. Yet, disaster prevention education requires the joint effort of all local units for better result. For this purpose, we integrated all the local administrative units, primary schools, local churches or associations in the advocacy of voluntary disaster prevention, and proceeded with the horizontal advocacy and cooperation of the local community in the prevention of disaster.
3、Application of technology to disaster prevention and joint action
In Phase II of the scheme, voluntary disaster prevention and resilient community will be advocated at all the basic administrative units of Fuxing Community and introduce the application of related technologies for disaster prevention. It will facilitate the vertical conveyance and sharing of disaster prevention technologies. The cooperation among the local administrative units in the advocacy of joint action in voluntary disaster prevention and capacity in response to rescue in disasters can be strengthened through the application of disaster prevention technologies and the creation of an information web in the community on disaster prevention.
4、Refinement of disaster information management
The collection of the GNSS data in Fuxing District will be continued in Phase II of the scheme with the attempt at analysis and management. It will also be combined with the advocacy of the application of disaster prevention technologies and joint action in disaster prevention for the convergence of information on disaster prevention in the community. The information will be served as reference for the governments and schools in the community in the education of voluntary disaster prevention and disaster prevention education. In addition, the data from environmental monitoring from other items of this scheme will be posted on the “Fuxing District Sustainable Environment Learning Web”.
5、Application and evaluation of conservation at bamboo forest
A discussion on soil and water conservation at bamboo forest was held recently at the Water Conservation Bureau. Fuxing District is an important plantation zone of Makino Bamboo in Taiwan. The use of the local bamboo forest in responding to the threat of climate change and improvement of soil and water conservation in the mountainous zone will be one of the material topics in the development of local industries. This task force will attempt to discuss with the experts and scholars of the Water Conservation Bureau and Forestry and Conservation Administration to learn the method for evaluation of soil and water conservation in bamboo forests and apply the skill to the bamboo forest in the district as a reference for the local residents.
1、Assessment of turning waste bamboo into energy
Fuxing District of Taiwan is a vital plantation zone of bamboo. Yet, the lumbering and thinning of bamboo will generate tons of bamboo waste. If the traditional incineration method is used to handle the wastes, it will emit air pollutants in the course of combustion. In this scheme, we assess and design the topics on the reuse of bamboo waste, and search the possibility of using bamboo waste, such as biological carbon, organic fertilizer, and power generation. This will help mitigate pollution to the environment and promote the regeneration of solid waste into energy. Adjustment has also been made in line with the bamboo industry policy. Bamboo production volume is not high under the influence of the policy. With a lesser amount of bamboo waste, a trial run was conducted through the demonstrative system to prepare for the development in the future.
2、Micro meteorological station and micro power grid system evaluation and planning
The data collected from the micro meteorological station helps to understand the potential of power generation in different areas. Evaluation of the capacity of the energy storage system of the area could be conducted for extending to the planning of a community micro power grid or district micro power grid. In case of failure of the power grid or power failure caused by natural disaster, the energy stored and generated from the micro power grid could back up power supply to the district in emergency. If the micro power grid could be coupled with the line of Taiwan Power Corporation, the purchase of energy saving could be achieved, as the power supply of the grid is generated from solar energy and storage system. The “Fuxing District Sustainable Environment Learning Website” was planned with weather information in all districts displayed on the web in real-time for easy access of the residents to information that help to understand the weather condition in their area of residence.
3、Evaluation of carbon reduction
The topic of carbon net zero emission worldwide made carbon reduction the point of attention. Fuxing District is located at the mountainous zone. This district is at high altitude and contains rich natural and renewable energy for supply. In this scheme, we will evaluate the renewable energy and carbon reduction in this district, and combine with the practical work of the fellow students at NCU. Through the professional knowledge from learning and carbon footprint calculation, students could obtain experience from the practical work of carbon net zero emission and renewable energy.
4、Advocacy of energy education and micro power grid at the community
In this scheme, we will assist the promotion of energy and carbon reduction related topics at Fuxing District. The target is the promotion of carbon reduction, energy, micro power grid and power transmission management. Related knowledge of smart power grid and power transmission and power management will be included in this phase. We assist the local residents to practice energy saving and understand power grid better in their daily lives. The idea of environmental friendly green energy and carbon reduction from renewable energy at Fuxing District will also be advocated so as to enrich local residents with the professional knowledge of renewable energy, energy saving and carbon reduction, and smarg power grid, and make it rooted in the education and development of talents in schools of all levels in the district.

1、Promotion of environmental education in the community
Fuxing District is the most important jurisdiction of the city in the water collection zone of Shimen Reservoir. Even though the water consumed by local residents is not from Shimen Reservoir, but they have to face topics related to water resources. The development of the idea of water sfor school children at a en at very young age will be necessary for the advocacy of water resources education. With the completion of the water resources center at Luo Foo and Yi Sheng, the education of prevention of water pollution could be launched. In addition, the quality of the water in the collection zone could also be assured. In continuation with the aquaponics system experience and the joint planning of the aquaponics farm at Youxiayun, the topics of food and agricultural education could be launched.
2、Monitoring and quality control of water resources from rivers
The issue of plastic particulates has emerged as a material topic of environment of the world. Yet, Taiwan does not have any monitoring and control and study on plastic particulates in the reservoir. As such, the scheme will continue the plastic particulate analysis techniques established in the previous phase to conduct survey and monitor the dispersion of plastic particulates in Shimen Reservoir and the 4 rivers running into the reservoir. In addition, the local residents used spring water from the mountain, which may not be properly collected and treated. For assuring the safety of using water at the tribes, we will install online water quality monitor at the collection tower of the tribe under this scheme to allow the resident to keep abreast of the information on water quality, and provide water quality safety education at the same time.
3、Air quality monitoring and control
The public tends to hold that Fuxing District is located at the mountain and the air quality is good. But the reverse is true, particularly in Winter. This district is exposed to the influence of air pollutants from Zhongli industrial zone and offshore regions. Air containing highly concentrated PM2.5 will enter Fuxing District. In Summer, the north part is at the downwind position and the organic pollutants and NOx will accumulate, and form ozone under sunlight, which will affect local residents. In this scheme, air quality will be monitored by air box or linking with the National Monitoring Station to alert the residents of air pollution.
4、Reuse of bamboo waste
Fuxing District is an important plantation zone of Gui bamboo. Bamboo waste will be generated in large quantity from lumbering of thinning. If traditional incineration is used for cleaning up the waste, air pollutants will be generated in the combustion process. If the waste is dumped in the mountain, it will also be a problem for the environment and disorder. In this scheme, topics on the assessment and evaluation of the reuse of bamboo waste were addressed in order to find out possible ways of reuse, such as grinding the materials into powder form and blended with plastic to make plastic-wood products.
1、Bamboo industry upgrading
The findings from the survey from the previous phase led us to know about the problems of the bamboo industry in the aspects of the industry itself, environment, and policy. We will continue to assist Fuxing District in the upgrading of the bamboo industry in Fuxing District under this scheme, and search for the methods for cutting down the cost of production of bamboo with proper trial, and also probe for new market. We will also advocate for a revision of the policy and take another step forward to create a rural economy, sustainable mountain and forest, and the development of the tribes for the common good, which in turn could help to develop talents in the community.
2、Pushing for the development of peripheral business
For assisting industrial upgrading of the community and the development of the bamboo industry, we will continue to work in collaboration with the local bamboo industry team under this scheme to sort out the options for the industry. We will also review local resources and survey the field and worked with the local youth groups in joint effort to advocate the management of forest resources, launch for the joint management of resources in mountain and forest under the notion of sustainable development, and take the lead in the development of the business peripheral to bamboo industry.
3、Sustainable mountain and forest
Fuxing District is located at a mountainous zone and covers vast area of Gui bamboo forest. The livelihood and daily lives of the inhabitants are closely associated with this mountainous zone. For the advocacy of sustainable mountain and forest, we will continue to visit related joint venture partners of bamboo industry in the industry, government, schools, and research units under this scheme so as to understand the development trend of the bamboo industry at home and abroad. We will also seek understanding of the outcome from the pursuit of the policy and advocacy of operation and management of friendly bamboo forest, and go for sustainable development of the environment.
4、Concerted effort
We will continue the cooperation with the “Social Participation Credit Program” of NCU under this scheme, and lead the students to sort out the topics on the district with the teachers in Fuxing District and give solutions. This will help to motivate creative thinking and ability to pursue, and propose to apply with Sinyi Real Estate for the national community building action plan to form the model of social participation and learning. We also seek related resources to match with interesting topics of the district in development, and advocate for the development of these topics in joint effort with the community.
