Mountain road quality improvement

For regulated mountain roads, the City conducts general maintenance and disaster rescue measures such as improvements to road surfaces and slopes as well as the maintenance and landscaping of relevant facilities. The City also made plans to improve the landscaping environment of mountain roads, integrating elements of local culture into road designs to enhance the overall recreational quality of mountain roads.

Urban development with integrated use of city-owned buildings and properties (EOD)

The City's short-term plans include taking inventory of existing city-owned buildings and land, accessing local needs for public service facilities functions, and converting idle or underutilized spaces into the facilities that each region needs. In the mid- to long-term, the City will integrate surrounding public facilities and regional needs when reconstructing old public buildings, adopting composite utilization of the spaces. The land vacated by old public buildings will be utilized to satisfy local needs for public facilities and functions that result from an aged population and low birth rates.

Cultural heritage protection

To protect tangible cultural heritage sites, the City set up a dedicated management authority to oversee the restoration, reuse, and operation of cultural heritage sites. The City actively promotes the Old Houses Cultural Movement Plan and, through counseling, subsidies, and assistance provided by relevant cultural heritage authorities, helps various managing departments submit management and maintenance plans or restoration and re-utilization plans for review. The goal is to not only resolve the problem of unused cultural heritage sites becoming filthy and hotbeds of crime, but also highlight the value of these cultural heritage sites.

Low-income assistance

As of the end of 2020, the City had 21,495 registered low-income households with 45,052 people (1.73% of the City's population). In accordance with the Social Assistance Act, the City provides low-income families with multi-faceted support such as living allowances, transportation subsidies for children in junior high schools and above, maternity subsidies, pregnancy nutrition subsidies, and three-festival benefits. The City also utilizes education, health, housing, and other resources to provide schooling, medical treatment, employment assistance, and nursing care for low-income individuals to help underprivileged families maintain basic living functions and safeguard their dignity.

Intelligent management of transportation data

The City promotes the development of the “Intelligent Transportation System (ITS)” and incorporates smart bus stops to send real-time bus information to an open data platform for private industry applications, allowing citizens to obtain an estimated time of arrival. As of the end of 2020, 2,135 smart bus stops had been installed throughout the City with a coverage rate of 63.86%.

Source reduction and management of waste

The City implements various source reduction policies and tools, including Per-Bag Garbage Collection Fee, banning on single-use plastics, and the promotion of waste reduction strategies such as furniture recycling and repair to encourage citizens to reduce the amount of waste generated and increase resource recycling for reuse.

Affordable housing construction project

The City takes inventory of potential locations for social housing and works to increase the supply of social housing and affordable housing resources through multiple channels. The City also scheduled long-term construction and financing plans to build sustainable, smart, energy-saving, earthquake-resistant, and accessible high-quality housing. The City expects to build over 19,000 units and maintain a social housing occupancy rate of over 95%. Currently, the City provides diversified assistance such as public housing for rent, diversified public housing, rental subsidies, and rental escrow that have benefited over 44,294 households.

Furthermore, to protect the housing rights of vulnerable citizens, the City established through a pioneering citizen review method in 2016 that 35% of the City's social housing will be reserved for special-status residents, of which 10% will be allocated to low-income households (economically disadvantaged) through a lottery. With the Social Housing Comment System, 20% of the social housing will be allocated to groups that may have a hard time renting housing (socially disadvantaged), notably the elderly, the disabled, single parents, victims of domestic violence, and inter-generation families. The other 5% will be allocated to indigenous people through a lottery on account of their special historical status. This system was first put into practice in the Dalongdong social housing complex in 2017 and was subsequently implemented in all social housing throughout the City to implement housing justice. Going forward, the City will continue to increase the coverage of social housing for disadvantaged groups and develop diversified housing types to give citizens a safe living environment.
