Ecology, Living, and Economy of Taoyuan Coast – Facilitating the Sustainable Development of Taoyuan’s Coastal Environment and Culture

NCU is committed to the University’s development based on the tenet of sustainable development. In practicing its social responsibility, NCU has spared no effort in safeguarding the homeland security, national disaster monitoring and prevention, and has even made cross-border assistance to help Southeast Asian countries in responding to the disaster risks engendered by climate change.　　NCU uses the results of scientific and empirical studies (coastal environment monitoring data) to form the basis of dialogue for environmental protection versus development, including issues concerning natural environment, community development, and preservation of local culture. Local culture is protected, while development of the coastal communities is promoted by means of advocating social enterprises. Cooperation with local residents is established to work on the sustainable development of coastal communities by monitoring coastal environment, taking conservation actions, offering environmental education, and promoting social enterprises, etc., in order to re-present the charm of Taoyuan’s coast.
