“…Because there are increasingly more utilities and users, marine spaces and resources have more competition, which leads to further pressure upon traditional ocean users and potential conflicts (Maes, 2008;Harte et al, 2010;Alexander et al, 2013). Additionally, many recent studies have emphasized stakeholders' attitudes and perceptions in the decision-making process in Taiwanese marine resource management, such as in protected areas planning (Yang et al, 2011;Chang et al, 2012Chang et al, , 2013Yang et al, 2013), marine special planning (Liu et al, 2011), coastal management (Liu, 2013), and offshore and coastal energy facilities (Liu et al, 2007;Wen et al, 2013). Moreover, several researchers have conducted to analyze public and stakeholders' attitude toward marine renewable power, further to find out the critical factors for marine renewable power development (Haggett, 2011;Alexander et al, 2013).…”

“…Furthermore, it also provides a "benchmark" against which to consider policy development and any planned or "determined" zoning scheme that might be developed. The government should set up reasonable time and spatial arrangement for sea use to integrate developments of different sectors [26], thereby bringing ecological, environmental, economic, and social advantages [10]. In doing so, Borger et al [27] propose the application of ecosystem service valuation to MSP so that marine planners, managers and decision makers will have interest in, and confidence in using economic information that is provided to support their MSP efforts.…”

Due to population growth, rapid economic development and inadequate marine control, the use of ocean and coastal regions in Taiwan has become more frequent and intense in recent years. However, the lack of comprehensive marine and coastal planning in this island nation has led to many conflicts over space and resources and limited its ability to prepare for and respond to environmental hazards, thus threatening national security as well as the safety and property of its citizens. This study proposes a marine zoning scheme for southern Taiwan. The results show that many important habitats in the southern sea areas have not been properly protected due to the extremely small size of the marine protected area. Furthermore, the majority of the conflicts derive from the exclusive fishing right vs. other uses such as marine conservation. Therefore, it is crucial to establish the marine spatial planning (MSP) for the Southern Taiwan to deal with the conflicts of use seas and uncertainties associated with complex, heterogeneous, and dynamic marine system.

“…The progressive adaptive approaches and actions can be documented and contribute to the understanding of climate impact as well as facilitating the visualization of the changes and the space adaptation in a real-time simulation. That is, the visualization model functions by incorporating people, place, and policy into the decision-making process, which can help improve, implement, and resolve conflicts between stakeholders [64,65]. Eventually, the residents are anticipated to be able to investigate and execute adaptation strategies [66].…”

With predictions of extreme precipitation and sea-level rise under climate change that may induce morphological changes of estuaries, increased estuarine flood risk needs to be considered. The aim of this case study was to contemplate sustainability from the perspective of flood resilience that focuses on environmental problems and solutions. The study provided insights into retailers' resilience thinking regarding the flood-prone Shetzu Peninsula in Taipei City. It is of concern that the retailers strategically identified potential flood risks and have developed adaptive knowledge, skills, and networks. The Location Quotient (LQ) analysis was conducted to verify that the retail sector of Shetzu Peninsula was considered a basic industry. Further assessments, an interactive visualization model and a consumption intensity map, were provided as supportive data. Based on the results, semi-structured interviews were conducted to explore 15 key retailers' resilience thinking on how to adapt to floods in terms of risk communication under climate change. This approach is vital to meet the adaptation challenge in the Shetzu Peninsula. As a result, the study indicated that retailers have strategically identified potential weather-related risks and have implemented adaptation plans for each store functions. The study discussed that, in the face of climate change, maladaptation, interactive visualization models for communicating flood risks, and place attachment are key issues to increase flood resilience under climate change. The introduction of adaptation interventions in terms of urban resilience as a part of a comprehensive strategy helps to manage the impacts of climate change towards urban sustainability.
