Schäfer, Martina, Sabine Hielscher, Willi Haas, Daniel Hausknost, Michaela Leitner, Iris Kunze, and Sylvia Mandl. "Facilitating Low-Carbon Living? A Comparison of Intervention Measures in Different Community-Based Initiatives." MDPI AG, 2018. http://dx.doi.org/10.3390/su10041047.
Full textAbstract:
The challenge of facilitating a shift towards sustainable housing, food and mobility has
been taken up by diverse community-based initiatives ranging from "top-down" approaches in
low-carbon municipalities to "bottom-up" approaches in intentional communities. This paper
compares intervention measures in four case study areas belonging to these two types, focusing
on their potential of re-configuring daily housing, food, and mobility practices. Taking up critics
on dominant intervention framings of diffusing low-carbon technical innovations and changing
individual behavior, we draw on social practice theory for the empirical analysis of four case studies.
Framing interventions in relation to re-configuring daily practices, the paper reveals differences
and weaknesses of current low-carbon measures of community-based initiatives in Germany and
Austria. Low-carbon municipalities mainly focus on introducing technologies and offering additional
infrastructure and information to promote low-carbon practices. They avoid interfering into residents¿
daily lives and do not restrict carbon-intensive practices. In contrast, intentional communities
base their interventions on the collective creation of shared visions, decisions, and rules and thus
provide social and material structures, which foster everyday low-carbon practices and discourage
carbon-intensive ones. The paper discusses the relevance of organizational and governance structures
for implementing different types of low-carbon measures and points to opportunities for broadening
current policy strategies.

Full textAbstract:
Despite claims by academics and policymakers that community may offer a potentially useful context through which to tackle climate change, there is limited empirical evidence to support such an assertion. This thesis sets out to address that gap. Drawing on theories of the governance of environmental change, community, social interaction, and governmentality, it presents a qualitative case-study of the Low Carbon Communities Challenge (LCCC). The LCCC was a United Kingdom government funded policy experiment intended to develop understandings of how to deliver the transition to low carbon living at the community level. The thesis highlights a conflict between the instrumental understanding of community as a delivery-mechanism for government policy on environmental change, and the normative understanding of community based on social relations and identification with place held by residents in the communities studied. Applied instrumentally, community offered participants a largely ineffective mechanism by which to alter the social dynamics and patterns of normal behaviour within their households towards low(er) carbon lifestyles. Viewed narrowly through the stated purpose of the LCCC, it could be interpreted as a failed experiment as a result of the resistance of community members to adopting the carbon-conscious subjectivity imposed on them. However the thesis suggests that from a governmentality perspective, an alternative interpretation is that the LCCC served to reinforce neoliberal rationality which contends that community is not capable of tackling climate change and that the market, which may in turn appropriate community, is the only way forward. The thesis concludes by setting out a number of practical and conceptual implications for future research, and outlines the beginnings of a new, critical research agenda into the role of community in tackling climate change.

Rooted deep in Germany's past is its modern socio-political grounding for environmental respect and sustainability. This translates into individual and collective action and extends equally to the economic and policy realm as it does to educational institutions. This thesis evaluates research conducted in Germany with a view to what best approaches are transferable to the United States liberal arts setting. Furthermore, exemplary American models of institutional sustainability and environmental education are explored and combined with those from abroad to produce a blueprint and action plan fitting for the American college and university.

Le changement climatique est devenu aujourd’hui le fléau environnemental qui préoccupe etmobilise le plus la communauté internationale. L’aboutissement de cette mobilisation générale reste sansdoute la mise en place du régime international de lutte contre le changement climatique dont la Conventioncadredes Nations Unies sur le changement climatique et le Protocole de Kyoto constituent les basesjuridiques. Ce régime innove en ce qu’il fixe des engagements quantifiés de réduction des émissions de gaz àeffet de serre pour les États pollueurs, mais aussi en ce qu’il instaure des mécanismes dits de « flexibilité »dont la mise en oeuvre est assortie d’un contrôle original basé sur un Comité dit de « l’observance ». Mais, endépit de toute cette production normative, il est regrettable de constater aujourd’hui que le régimeinternational du climat est un véritable échec. En effet, si la mobilisation des États ne fait aucun doute, enrevanche, les mêmes États qui ont volontairement accepté de s’engager refusent délibérément d’honorer leursengagements pour des raisons essentiellement politiques, économiques et stratégiques. Ce travail ambitionnedonc de lever le voile sur les causes de cet échec en dressant un bilan mitigé de la première périoded’engagement de Kyoto qui a pris fin en 2012, et propose des perspectives pour un régime juridique duclimat post-Kyoto efficient et efficace, en mesure d’être à la hauteur des enjeuxClimate change has become the scourge environmental concern and mobilizes more theinternational community. The outcome of this mobilization remains probably the implementation ofinternational climate change regime for which the Climate Convention and the Kyoto Protocol are the legalbases. This system is innovative in that it sets quantified emission reduction commitments for greenhouse gasemissions (GHG) for polluters States, but also in that it establishes mechanisms known as of “flexibility”whose implementation is accompanied by a control based on a Committee known as of “compliance”. Butdespite all this normative production, it is regrettable that today the international climate regime is a realfailure. Indeed, if the mobilization of states is no doubt, however, the same states that have voluntarily agreedto engage deliberately refuse to honour their commitments for essentially political, economic and strategicreasons. This work therefore aims to shed light on the causes of this failure by developing a mixed record ofthe first Kyoto commitment ended period in 2012, and offers prospects for a legal regime of the post-Kyotoclimate and efficient, able to be up to the challenges

In recent years, with in technology advances, and increasing resource consumption, pollutants emissions from the manufacturing process into the environment not only leads to environmental degradation, resulting in more greenhouse effect, climate change and other environmental issues; to echoing the sustainable use of resources and the global carbon reduction trend, the Executive Yuan in 2009, "the Third National energy Conference" proposes to construct specific timetables of "low-carbon homes" will be divided into three stages to reach the goal. Expectations based of "low-carbon model community" and combine private resources and forces, progressively development to "low-carbon city" and "low-carbon living area," the vision of low-carbon homes and sustainable society. Low-carbon communities, also called carbon neutral community, which means in a community, the carbon emissions generated in all the activities, can be reduced to a minimum. This research through literature review will be divided low-carbon transformation into six kinds, namely eco-green, low-carbon and energy-efficient buildings, low carbon transport, recycling, renewable energy and low-carbon livin, deduction low-carbon life which can not be quantified calculated, this study model simulations five parts for each carbon reduction, in each part, put forward various carbon reduction initiatives, each has its implementation characteristics, according to a characteristic of the present study, and with the following types of community residents to be considered, the simulation results presented in accordance with community characteristics. Morphology of households in the community, will be separate by each characteristics in Taiwan, including the distribution area of the northern, central or southern; community location is located in the urban or rural communities; and residential patterns of pure residential, with industrial use and with commercial or service use to classify. According to the results of model, the effect of low carbon transport located in the city''s community residents is bigger than communities located in rural, but in the eco-green, effect in rural is bigger than in urban community; in southern area, sun-light in more than north area, also more favorable to development the solar water heaters; based consumption in different households types, also made different effect of energy-saving and low-carbon buildings, this study try to make recommendation of each household types for local governments to promote low-carbon communities policy reference, and incorporate the concept of the total amount of carbon reduction, hoping to influence the density of population and households is reflected in the results.

In recent years, due to people increased demand for recreation, and government supported to develop tourism, and the policy of opening Chinese visitors coming to Taiwan, led to many famous attractions are overcrowded. Community tourism has become a new tourist preferences , through community development projects or in rural communities towards renewable sustainable tourism development. It’s necessary for establishing the indicators of Low-carbon community tourism. The purpose of using systematic scientific research for establishing the indicators of Low-carbon community tourism, it is not only providing a self-assessment tool to low-carbon future intention toward tourism development community, but also as a reference for an environmental protection authorities and local government policies. Modified Delphi expert questionnaires (1-3 rounds), were used as a research method. The first round is semi-open questionnaire to collect indicators of experts and scholars on the ability of the proposed project. First, from literature review to create of low-carbon tourism-related indicators, including the entire community's carbon emissions will appear in the project. The industry, government and other scholar were investigated. The mean, mode, quartile deviation of the indicators were examined with SPSS 20.0 software tools, and finally examined its consistency. The 4th questionnaire is using the network Analytic Hierarchy Process (ANP) to investigate the findings from using Super Decisions software tools to analyze and discussed. Finally developed six dimensions, 24 indicators of community self-assessment questionnaire, and Pinglin District, New Taipei City. It measured by interviewing the community analysis questionnaire, and practically understanding of community self-assessment questionnaire on the implementation each indicator. The results will provide the government and community toward to the Low-carbon tourism development.

This study investigates processes and effects of policy implementation of the Low-Carbon Demonstration Community in Taichung from a policy-implementing perspective. After the implementation of the “Low-Carbon City Project- Establishing a Low-Carbon, Lively Home” was finalized in 2009, demonstration communities have gradually been established in northern, central, southern, and the east of Taiwan. During this process, the formations of the low-carbon demonstration communities have been complicating and full of challenges. Taichung, being the leader of the low-carbon demonstration cities and with its essential role, initiates the move of establishing low-carbon communities in the great central Taiwan. In the past, most research of low-carbon policies focused on quantitative studies of carbon reduction evaluation indexes and ecological-beneficial analyses. However, through literature reviews, this study discovers that the obstacle of policy-making lies in policies and policy implementations of local governments. In the view of this, the study adopted policy implementation theory and evidence-based practices to highlight the importance of implementation in policy process. Not only it investigates factors affecting policy implementations, this study also observes difficulties of policy implementations of local governments. Basing on literature analyses and in-depth interview as well as having the Taichung Low-Carbon Demonstration Community as an example, the study analyzes effects of policy process in five aspects, including perspectives of implementers, willingness of participants, policy resources, organizational partnerships, and environmental factors. The findings of this study are described as follows: 1. The low-carbon policy implementation model of Taiwan is a top-to-bottom decision model, with the central government being the authority of policy-making and resources allocation, linking the effectiveness of projects to perspectives of implementers. In which case, the Environmental Protection Administration of the Executive Yuan decides on policy goals and the Taichung government and relevant divisions comply with resolutions of the central government and are responsible for policy implementations, having not much capabilities of project expansion.. 2. In addition, this study also observes the adequacy of policy resources. During the interviews, community representatives and academic experts raised their concerns of a lack of policy resources, that under the challenges of the fund distributions and the authority allocations , the communities may only achieve superficial low-carbon restructure and may not fulfill the goal of low-carbon restructure that is practical for everyday living.

Taipei County Government is anticipating to reduce the carbon dioxide emission amount and to reach the goal of “ twenty percent’s reduction in twenty years” through the “low carbon society” works in aspects of energy saving, green transportation, low-carbon living and resource recycling works, which will make the Taipei county to be the first low-carbon living city in the nation. However, Taipei county is the most populous administration region with the population of 3.8 millions, and there is a considerable gap between urban and rural areas. Therefore, we suggest planning it in a strategic point of view. The perspective of Bernard Boar (2001) in strategic planning is adopted in this research for analyzing the strategy planning of “low-carbon society” promulgated by Taipei County Hall. The main research methods in this report include literature research and in-depth interviews: Currently, the related literature reviews on “low carbon society” are mainly based on UNFCCC (United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change) and Kyoto Protocol. In addition to the review on related literatures both from local and abroad, we also refer to the attachment one of Kyoto Protocol which provides useful policies and measures to guide the major international countries and cities to overcome the global warming problem on the specific practices. Furthermore, we also interview the local governor, central authority officers who are in charge of the related affairs, chief of agencies and project managers who are in charge of local enforcement of low carbon society policies, and all other operational officers, basic level implementation officer who are in charge of the related affairs and so forth to make sure the research is well considered in every aspects. In this research we find that: 1. It is more effective when local government promote the low carbon society works from “household commercial” and “transportation” department and it is also more productive when promoting with economy incentives. 2. The result of low carbon related policies implementation is depend on the determination of the local governor. 3. Local government should aim to foster people’s low carbon living habit in all activities. The main objective of low carbon policy promotion should lay in reducing the future carbon emissions. We suggest that: 1. The local government should strengthen the communication and interaction with Taipower to reach the win-win situation. 2. Legislation of “low carbon society” works and establishment of both central and local agencies to enforce the “low carbon society” related policies. 3. Economy incentives are the most effective way of promoting low carbon society works. Local government can foster people’s low carbon living habit through providing more economy incentives.

Climate change has become an important international issue. As an island country, Taiwan's implementation of low-carbon lifestyle and construction of low-carbon environment is an important means to cope with climate change. How to withstand natural disasters and adapt to climate change under limited resources has become a pressing issue. Therefore, this study makes an in-depth study on low-carbon lifestyle in island communities. To explore the relationship between community capacity and low-carbon lifestyle, place relationship and quality of life, and to find out the key factors to foster low-carbon lifestyle of community residents, and to improve their quality of life. This study took Magong city of Penghu as the research field and sampled the top ten neighbourhood units of Magong city population as the research object. After the issuance of the questionnaire, 403 valid questionnaires were collected, and the data were analyzed and discussed. Using structural equation model to analyze its behavior structure, the results show that community capacity has a direct impact on low-carbon lifestyle and place relationship, and indirect impact on quality of life through place relationship, which belongs to the complete intermediary; low-carbon lifestyle has a direct impact on place relationship, but also on quality of life through place relationship. The relationship has an indirect effect and is also a complete intermediary; the place relationship has a significant impact on the quality of life. The results show that there is a structural relationship among the four concepts of community capacity evaluation, low-carbon lifestyle, place relationship and quality of life. At the same time, it is found that community capacity and low-carbon lifestyle have no direct impact on the quality of life, and it needs to be through local relations to influence residents'evaluation of their quality of life.

“Low-carbon” issue has been the focus of attention of the world, due to the situation of extreme weather is more and more heavily. The main reason of the global warming is a large emission of greenhouse gas, especially carbon dioxide. Therefore, countries present their carbon dioxide emission limitation. In 2010, the total emission of CO2 in Taiwan is 270.22 million tons, 0.89% of total global emissions; and per capita emission is11.66 tons, the world's No. 19. In response to such a situation, government actively engaged in the promotion and implementation of policies or strategies related to low-carbon. In 2010, Environmental Protection Administration Executive Yuan launched the―The project on low-carbon community promotion. This project expect to select 52 “low-carbon community” in 2011, build 4 “low-carbon city” and 2 “low-carbon island” in 2014, then complete 4 “low-carbon life circle” in northern, central , southern , and eastern in 2020. It’s ongoing and important to promote “low-carbon community”. The past researches of low-carbon focused on the low-carbon community evaluation criteria system establishment, strategic planning and Explore the public perception of a single group. Hence, this paper tried to compare the local residents’ perception, willingness and behavior between general and low-carbon community. The research method of this paper is questionnaire survey. Respondents are residents of two communities in New Taipei City. 519 questionnaires have been issued, 214 have returned with validity in low-carbon community, the validity rate is 70.6% and 178 have returned with validity in general community; the validity rate is 82.4%. Using statistical software of SPSS to do basic statistical and confirm the hypothesis. The results of this study summarized in the following: 1. Low-carbon knowledge and willingness” with a significant correlation between residents. 2. Low-carbon knowledge and environmental behavior” in energy conservation, green transportation, waste reduction, low-carbon buildings and environmental greening are significant. 3. Willingness and environmental behavior” in energy conservation, green transportation, waste reduction, low-carbon buildings and environmental greening are significant. 4. Low-carbon knowledge between general and low-carbon community residents has significant difference. 5. Willingness between general and low-carbon community residents has significant difference. 6. “Environmental behavior” in energy conservation, green transportation, waste reduction and environmental greening between general and low-carbon community residents has significant difference.

Due to the rapid development of urban and rural areas, the low carbon cities and the low carbon communities have become the fastest growing trends and types. Meanwhile, the Global Warming, which has led to a series of environmental impact, such as the climate change and the green house effect, has increased the necessity of and given the impetus to “Energy Conservation and Carbon Reduction” in the community. In recent years, our government urges “Energy Conservation and Carbon Reduction” and expects to reduce the impact on ecological environment, agriculture, and public hygiene, which are caused by the global warming and the green house effect, and also to investigate and plan the low-carbon assessment and development strategy in Taiwan''s rural communities through the comprehensive low-carbon concept. Therefore, hope to implement this concept from urban areas to rural areas and to construct the low-carbon assessment indicator to be the suggestions of the development strategy for low-carbon community in Taiwan’s rural areas. The main purpose of this study is to construct the frame of low-carbon indicator in Taiwan’s rural areas and to evaluate the relative importance of each indicator. And, it also proposes the suggestions to low-carbon development strategy in the future based on “Energy Conservation and Carbon Reduction” in Taiwan’s rural communities. This study is by Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) and through the overall review and discussion by Government-Industry-University experts. It consolidates the consistent opinions from the experts and organizes the study result, which indicates the assessment factors of hierarchy one are, by series, “low-carbon life”(0.185), “energy saving”(0.182), and “green environment”(0.180). The assessment factors of hierarchy two are, by series, “the implementation of low-carbon life”(0.648), “green constructions in rural areas”(0.606), and “transportation mechanism in community”(0.574). The assessment factors of hierarchy three are, by series, “tree green”(0.747), “solar energy system”(0.675), and “the impetus of waste origin reduction”(0.673). In priority relative weight, the assessment factors of hierarchy one are, by series, “energy saving”(0.2256), “green environment”(0.1767), and “low-carbon life”(0.1610). The assessment factors of hierarchy two are, by series, “the facilities for water saving”(0.1033), “the implementation of low-carbon life”(0.0974), and “waste recycling”(0.0902). In addition, the assessment factors of hierarchy three are, by series, “home electricity and air-conditioning saving”(0.0723), “outdoors green landscape”(0.0705), and “the impetus of waste origin reduction”(0.0634). In general priority weight, the first five priority factors’ criteria from experts are, by series,“ tree green”(0.747), “solar energy system”(0.675), “the impetus of waste origin reduction”(0.673), “low-carbon education in community”(0.669), and “bicycle”（0.663）. According to the above hierarchy analysis, it provides the reference to the use of low-carbon indicator in low-carbon community in Taiwan rural areas.

The twentieth century, global population continues to increase, coupled with climate change, many parts of the world of natural disasters, typhoons, floods, droughts, etc., people began to attach importance to environmental and climate issues. As early as 1972, the United Nations in Stockholm, the General Assembly held its first international environmental protection, after the meeting through the "Declaration of the United Nations Conference on Human Environment", starting for the conservation, pollution control, sustainable development issues more seriously. In 1997 the "Kyoto Protocol" or the global climate change conference held in Copenhagen in late 2009, it has shown the importance of climate change and the goal to achieve greenhouse gas reduction agreement targets. At March 4, 2010 the vice premier Chu announced the 2010 will be "saving energy and reducing carbon years ", and established the country''s "master plans for carbon reduction" and Ten Standard Benchmark programs to improve the carbon reduction targets, to make Taiwan become a low carbon society. The central government organs at all levels, and local county and city governments are vigorously promote energy conservation and carbon reduction policies, to develop "low-carbon society, low-carbon city,and low-carbon community." For Pinglin area in New Taipei City, the local growings recession, demand is rapidly declining number of tourists, since the opening of Hsuehshan tunnel in 2006, so Department of Environmental Protection , New Taipei City Government work together with the Pinglin District Office. By building up the "the low-carbon tourism" and using the experience from it, it desire to fabricate Ping-Lin area to low-carbon community. In pursuit of carbon reduction, ecological protection, economic activities, tourism and leisure and the balance between sustainable development. The purpose of this research is to investigate "the low carbon community" develop process and its key factors in Pinglin Area based on the document analysis, in-depth terview method, and stakeholders and sustainable community theory. Finally, it can propose the relevant policy recommendations on the these findings and guide to future research directions.

Resource recycling, energy conservation and carbon reduction are the most important environmental issues at the moment and these also are the ways to reduce the environmental impact. The program "low-carbon and sustainable homeland" has been proposed in Taiwan in 2009. Consul of Agriculture promoted the program of reducing the waste gas that starts from rural communities and the program of composting animal manure from 2014. Ping Tung county government actively applies program in 2015 for “low-carbon in town and township” to promote recycling of resources to solve the problem resulted from agricultural waste. Therefore, this research takes the communities of low-carbon and resource recycling as target to promote the program of agricultural waste compost. The research included: (1) do the background investigation of low-carbon in Xiabei, Wannei, Lunding, Hau village in Wandan township and promote reducing waste resource recycling and the way of compost production. (2) To evaluate the effectiveness of the local action program, by analyzing the chemical property of the soil and the plant in the farm. In addition,to do the community satisfaction survey about the effectiveness of the action localization program. (3) To evaluate the economic benefits of the compost: Compare the economic benefits of the chemical fertilizers, compound fertilizers and organic fertilizers in the market. Following the chemical test report we could realize that the research result shows that all the ingredients of compost meet the fertilizer’s requirements; the community satisfaction survey shows apparent difference in the variable background of age, resident area, and environmental protection activities. It shows the effectiveness of promotion. Regarding to the economic benefits we individually calculate the quantity of production and the value of production of the chemical fertilizers, compound fertilizers and organic fertilizers in the market. The compost could save the economic benefits of NTD 36000 by as a replacement of the chemical fertilizers, save NTD 44000 by as a replacement of the compound fertilizers, and save NTD 28000 by as a replacement of the organic fertilizers. This operation mode and the results of the research can build a mode of community operation of Resource sustainable recycling practice and can offer as a reference to other communities.

Sustainable development is now an issue around the world due to global warming and rapid climate change. People pay more attention to energy saving and carbon reduction for pursuing a better environment. The low-carbon and sustainable homeland project was announced during Taiwan National Energy Conference in 2009. In this project, fifty-two low-carbon communities will be selected as model communities from those developing low-carbon communities and then establish six low-carbon cities and four low-carbon living areas around Taiwan to keep the project moving forward. This study will include the analysis of publication references and in-depth interview and participant observation. We will pick up four communities in Taitung as our samples. There are four aspects of this analysis such as residents’ awareness of low- carbon community, participation and method of extension, thinking of program construction, and future prospect. Results of the study are as followed: 1. The low-carbon community people learn the low-carbon awareness and behavior from the guidelines of national and global policy and the environmental sensitivity. 2. The participation of low-carbon community residents and the method of promotion could be learned from both internal and external factors. We could spread the idea though meetings, markets, and festivals. The method of promotion could go through the broadcasting system, bulletin board, community website and so on. 3. Thinking of low-carbon program construction should focus on the core values of the community residents and driving force. 4. The development of low-carbon community would tend to improve through the integration of information, cooperation of government, industry and academic, cross-sectoral assistance, and rewards. In summary, this study would be considered as a reference for government and other communities to promote low-carbon program and low-carbon life for all citizens moving forward to the goal of low-carbon and sustainable homeland.

The greenhouse effect and global climate change which is not only the impact of the habitat of plants and animals in nature, but also seriously affect human living environment, IPCC assessment report say that the impact of climate change will cause a disaster all over the world, such as ecosystem frequent hazards, food shortages, public health, and the health effects of the lack of water resources, agriculture, forestry industry, extreme climate disasters. In order to achieve the sustainable development of human beings, the United Nations called on countries to develop sustainable human settlements, for this also put forward the vision of a "sustainable society" in the "Agenda 21"; community development is social development of the country microcosm of the concept of low-carbon import community system, condensation community awareness and polymerization of community residents action, so that people can truly exercise the utmost goal less carbon save Earth. This study attempts to understand the Chia-yi County Tai-Ping Community to promote the current status of the community of low-carbon and residents for the relationship between knowledge, attitude and behavior, the methods are summarized and analyzed through questionnaires and interviews; random way to take in the questionnaire after sampling, the issuance of 100 questionnaires were effective samples were 55, 55% recovery, net of invalid questionnaires, the results are as follows: the status of the Tai-Ping Community low-carbon energy saving "green building , green transportation, resource recycling, low-carbon life "as the main impact of the project, which in contrast are less than ideal performance" green building "knowledge, attitude and behavior, while in the low-carbon knowledge differences in the relationship between attitudes and behavior in the low-carbon knowledge will affect the generation of low-carbon attitudes, which showed a significant difference in the "low-carbon transport oriented; low-carbon attitude will affect the generation of low-carbon behavior, which in the" low-carbon transport "and" low-carbon life "facing significant differences; low-carbon knowledge and does not affect the generation of low-carbon behavior. Interview portion, the study found that Tai-Ping community which carbon reduction project to beautify the community green, composting, sharing meals activities, community farm mainly public sector community low-carbon enabler, and power-saving lamps in the low-carbon community, the promotion of electric cars, solar hot water, compared to its energy efficiency is much higher than other projects, so this study suggests that complete energy-saving and carbon reduction equipment, it is recommended that future Tai-Ping community in the replacement of energy-saving lamps and promotion of solar water heaters, energy conservation projects to play, will be able to get excellent energy-saving results; 2. strengthen environmental education community residents in the future to promote community low-carbon advocacy activities, the concept of green building into the Tai-Ping Community, the development of low-carbon communities to provide the public with new knowledge.

Taijiang National Park is the first national part initiated and established by the local government. It not only has the important history of early settlers sailing across the Taiwan Strait to migrate and reclaim land for farming, but also contains unique cultural heritage as part of Taiwan history, even has the world-class wetland and traditional culture of fish-farming. In addition to the three resources of “history”, “nature” and “industry”, it carries the mission to develop national aesthetics, and is the second-generation national park featuring complete coexistence, mutual prosperity and mutual development with local community; its management idea has changed from traditional “ecological conservation” to “the residents’ living community”, in an attempt to establish “Taijiang Park Protection Cycle” as the platform for consensus and communication between the public departments and the surrounding communities, to contribute to the sustainable development of the ecological environment. The study aims to investigate the different perception and attitude towards low-carbon green life in the communities surrounding Taijiang National Park and the public in Tainan city with different backgrounds and its relevant analysis. The six dimensions of “low-carbon green life’ are based on the indicators of low-carbon community evaluation system specifically developed by Environment Protection Administration in 2010, including six main indices such as “ecological afforestation”, “low-carbon building/energy conservation”, “low-carbon traffic”, “resources recycling”, “renewable energy” and “low-carbon life”. In this study, questionnaire survey is used as major research tool and SWOT analysis is performed with secondary data of the communities to compensate for the limitations of questionnaire survey. The results are summarized as follows: 1.The public with different background variable in the communities surrounding Taijiang National Park shows overall perception towards the low-carbon green life” and hierarchical perception towards “ecological afforestation”, “low-carbon building/energy conservation”, “low-carbon traffic”, “resources recycling”, “renewable energy” and “low-carbon life”. Differentiated education is required according to different types of background. 2.The public with different background variable in the communities surrounding Taijiang National Park shows positive overall attitudes towards the low-carbon green life” and positive hierarchical attitude towards “ecological afforestation”, “low-carbon building/energy conservation”, “low-carbon traffic”, “resources recycling”, “renewable energy” and “low-carbon life”. 3.Positive correlation is found between the perception and attitude towards “overall low-carbon green life” of the public with different background variable in the communities surrounding Taijiang National Park, indicating that the better the perception towards low-carbon green life leads to more positive attitude towards low-carbon green life. However, in the hierarchical scale, the scale of attitude towards “ecological afforestation”, “low-carbon traffic”, “resources recycling” show negative or low positive correlations, while the rest all show significant correlation. 4.In the study, SWOT analysis is performed for the current situation of communities surrounding Taijiang National Park to provide its internal strengths, weakness, external opportunities and threats to formulate strategies for future study.

Research Doctorate - Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)Around the world, the climate change debate and environmental disasters have placed more emphasis on renewable energies and low-carbon technologies. Gaining support from the affected communities for the development of such projects has become increasingly important. Public relations professionals are frequently called upon to facilitate organisational community engagement activities, but these practitioners often lack knowledge and training about effective engagement practices as this topic receives little attention in public relations research. This research has applied a sequential mixed methods research design to investigate how Australian organisations have engaged with local communities in their quest to gain support for renewable energy and low carbon-emission technology projects. Using in-depth interviews with fourteen experienced community engagement practitioners, this project provides a detailed examination of their practical experiences with community engagement projects. These included their role as practitioners and what they considered to be good indicators for effective engagement, as well as organisational motivations, communication and listening during community engagement. The interviews were complemented with a content analysis to establish how organisational reporting helps gaining a better understanding of the qualitative findings. The knowledge generated from this mixed-methods enquiry has provided new and more refined insights into the practice of community engagement. The new contributions to knowledge include an added local interpreter role for community engagement practitioners, and the scope of negotiables as a new dimension for shared decision-making. A two-tiered Engagement Communication Model was proposed suggesting that - based on organisational intention, communication mode and listening - organisations are aiming for different types of relationships and levels of social licenses with different audiences. This research also identified that personal attributes of engagement practitioners may contribute to engagement effectiveness and suggested they should be integrated into evaluation frameworks.

Environmental issues such as climate change and global warming have drawn public attention in recent years, resulting in the increased importance of the concept of carbon reduction and sustainability. Solving problems caused by human activities and reducing carbon emissions and dependence of fossil energy usage is the primary objective for international governments to pursue. In order to address environmental issues, there is a common international trend to implement carbon reduction policies, construct low carbon cites, and self-sustainable low carbon communities. Since there are many successful low carbon communities in European countries, their governments promote the policy of low carbon sustainable homelands. This policy is based on “low carbon communities” that extend to “low carbon cities” and “low carbon living areas”. However, given the knowledge regarding the planning of low carbon communities, how to systematize and establish planning and management methods remains a challenge. The process of planning an exploratory, qualitative, and interdisciplinary research for the generation of planning and management methods is the focus of this work. Shuangxi District is located on the periphery of New Taipei City, and therefore has been seldom affected by over development. It is still rich in green resources and maintains the life style of traditional rural communities. Shuangxi District is under development and without governance attention, the lack of work opportunities drive the young generations to bigger cities. However, developing a low carbon community has gaps and barriers related to empowering community self-sustaining energy management by external public and private sectors supports at the initial planning phase. In this context, this study investigates the gaps in low carbon theory when applied to the planning of rural communities, and explores the attitudes of rural community residents concerning low carbon community planning. This study also attempts to integrate environmental education and low carbon community planning to clarify the impacts and benefits of utilizing a low carbon communities approach.

The aim of this study was to discuss the influence of the Taoyuan city's low-carbon community citizens' social capital, community consciousness and self-efficacy to the behavior intention. Simultaneously, analyzed the differences of different demographic variables in all of them mentioned above. The objects were the low-carbon community citizens who are over 20 years old living in Taoyuan City. The study used quota sampling based on the population of citizens in each community. Total 1,052 questionnaires were distributed. And obtained 1,010 valid questionnaires were retrieved with an effective response rate of 96%. The statistic software SPSS 22.0 (Chinese version) was used for data analysis. The statistical methods included descriptive statistic, independent- samples t-test, one-way ANOVA, and regression analysis. The major findings of this study were summarized as follows. The different demographic variables have partial significant differences in social capital, community consciousness, self-efficacy, and behavioral intention. Social capital has significant positive effect on community consciousness. Community consciousness has significant positive effect on self-efficacy. Social capital has significant positive effect on self-efficacy and behavioral intention. Community consciousness has significant positive effect on behavioral intention. Self-efficacy has significant positive effect on behavioral intention. Social capital, community consciousness, and self-efficacy can effectively predict behavioral intention. Meanwhile, the “psychological” dimension of self-efficacy has the best prediction. Regarding mediator effect, community consciousness has partially mediation on the relationships between social capital and self-efficacy. Community consciousness and self-efficacy have partially mediation on the relationships between social capital and behavioral intention. Self-efficacy has partially mediation on the relationships between community consciousness and behavioral intention. The study makes up the gaps of previous studies in using social capital, community consciousness and self-efficacy to predict behavioral intention, and the mediating effects of self-efficacy. Hoping the results of the reaserch will provide other community citizens and the relevant government department as the references for planning the low-carbon community. Key Words:low-carbon community, social capital, community consciousness, self-efficacy, behavioral intention

Energy Conservation and Carbon Reduction has become an very important topic and actively promoted by many developed countries. A low carbon community is the individual carbon reduction behavior on behalf of collective actions. In order to effectively achieve carbon reduction targets, actions to mitigate global climate change must be done. However, due to different national circumstances and different geographical location; the low-carbon community assessment indicators are currently under no uniform standards. Although Taiwan has established the Low-carbon Community Indicators Assessment System (LCIAS) as Taiwan’s low-carbon community assessment model, the full numerous assessment indicators are complex in calculation, therefore, in the implementing stage, there may still be some difficulties. There are still room for improving this evaluation system indicator. This study uses qualitative comparison of studies to propose specific advice for improvement and to instantiate analysis of different indicators results of the assessment differences. Through this qualitative comparative study proposed an alternative low-carbon community assessment indicators, and examples of analysis of different assessment indicators differences. Study concluded that low-carbon community assessment of different methods may yield to different results because of different assessment methods of low-carbon community projects in different rating differences; If the community facilities are factured based on a low-carbon concept, it will be more affective to the assessment indicators comparing to communites own willingness on energy conservation and carbon reduction. In order to encourage communities to become a low carbon community, the minimum standards of the assessment indicator should not be set too high.

Amidst the rapid changes in human lifestyle, in particular since the turn into the 20th century, all countries throughout the world have spared no effort to boost their competitive edge but, piteously, at the price of imbalance of environment which, in turn, untowardly affecting the development of national sustainability. Taoyuan, a key county featuring diversified, comprehensive and multifaceted industries, would inevitably see critical problems in pollution, contamination and heavy consumption of energies. The study aims at Zhongsheng Li of Taoyuan City, Taoyuan County as the subject case with theoretical research programs on enforcement of policies as well as assessment. After executed of the rationale, we conducted on-the-spot participation and observation to look into the current implementation of the energy saving & carbon reduction through the local village/li (communities). We further conducted in-depth interviews with the interested parties with analysis on the status quo and the policies of the energy saving & carbon reduction. Through such efforts, we intend to find out all positive and negative aspects of the enforcement by the Central Government authorities in the policy of “energy saving & carbon reduction” and the countermeasures for rectification. The key findings yielded in the current study include notably: (I) The various customer bases of the policy show varied viewpoints. (II) Whenever the enforcement of policies faces up confrontations, they still maintain the autonomous mode of practice. (III) Where the local community people in the Li show high intellectual level, the actual hands-on participants are confined to those long-timers with very few new participants. (IV) All local people of Zhongsheng Li foster their thrifty concepts.

With the raise of environmental awareness, low-carbon community is imperative, and an importance of building and running a community is raising. To explore the low-carbon culture of eco-tourism community in Pingtung County, the literature reviews, site visits and interview were conducted to collect the direction, strategy and action of low-carbon operations in Pingtung County eco-tourism community. The results of the research adopted content analysis methods and knowledge structure. During July 2016 to April 2017, a total of seven communities were selected. They were Sheding, Lide, Gangkou, Tjavatjavang, Tjukuvulje, Labuwan, Adiri. Among these seven communities, twenty five persons were interviewed to explore their low-carbon concept and the related strategy of low-carbon eco-tourism community operations. 32 interviews were conducted on this survey. Apart from interviewing, participation in observation and focus group were also helpful to obtain information. The survey data were analyzed by content analysis method and knowledge structure constructing. To analyze with ecotourism community low-carbon operation services, this research classified five knowledge concepts: catering, residential, transportation, management, recreational activities. Results show that low-carbon operations of these eco-tourism communities in Pingtung are mostly related to eco-green facets and low-carbon life, and the fewest are green transport and green energy saving. One of the possible reasons leading is the remotely location of the community with no much resource information which would lead to the difficulty of promoting carbon reduction, such as public transportation or low-carbon vehicle. The majority residents don’t know how to define ”low carbon” yet, and this would lead to the sense of alienation (considered not easy to enter, conduct, costing more money, and would dull of mind), or because community life itself has met the needs of low-carbon sustainability already and does not need extra constructions. Finally, researcher believes that whether the operations of low-carbon executing is correspond to the local is more important. After all, low-carbon is not necessarily with the environmental protection and sustainability. Local conditions must be taken into priority account in mapping out the policy, and the ultimate goal is sustainable development.

Abstract After the low-carbon city promotion program was proposed in the National Energy Conference in 2009, the Environmental Protection Administration (EPA), Executive Yuan implemented a 6-year series of related policies and measures. Based on low-carbon communities, the measures were expected to be extended to towns and cities to form a low-carbon living sphere. Accordingly, this study analyzed the related policies and successful community cases. Regarding the methods, foreign and domestic studies were reviewed and compared, and data obtained from the review of Taiwanese government reports and interviews conducted in the communities were analyzed, to understand the characteristics and related topics of the policy of Low Carbon Sustainable Homeland. Community case analysis was also performed to identify the difficulties and opportunities of Taiwan in promoting a low-carbon sustainable homeland. The objectives of this study are as follows: 1. To analyze the policy characteristics of and relevant topics on low-carbon sustainable homeland in Taiwan. 2. Using Ta-Yu low-carbon community as the case for analysis to investigate the difficulties in and opportunities of promoting a low-carbon sustainable homeland in Taiwan. 3. To explore the opportunities of sustainable community development. From 2010 to 2016, the EPA assisted 114 low-carbon sustainable demonstration communities, highlighting the grassroot potential for energy saving and carbon reduction in the effort of lowering energy and resource consumption. The EPA expects that by 2020, four major low-carbon living spheres can be established in northern, central, southern, and eastern Taiwan. However, the current policy implementation has slowed down, with administrative units being downsized and budgets being cut. This indicates that the top–down policy implementation process involved drawbacks, although the policy can be implemented quickly. This study adopted the case study research design, focusing on Ta-Yu community—the only community in Changhua County that received the Silver Award of Low-Carbon Community from the EPA. Qualitative in-depth interviews were conducted on a total of 16 key participants, involving government officials, educators, researchers, bank staff, and community residents. Analogy analysis was then conducted. The results revealed that introducing the idea of community enterprise is beneficial for the successful promotion of a low-carbon sustainable homeland and can enhance community identity and facilitate long-term community development. Currently, the Ta-Yu community in Puyan Township, Changhua County is promoting carbon reduction and related environmental education and economic activities such as organic agriculture through the concept of sustainable management based on the intergenerational collaboration. Thus, this study used the Ta-Yu community as the case to analyze its experience regarding the operation of a localized community enterprise. The analysis results determined the following characteristics and core problems of Ta-Yu community’s promotion of sustainable development: (1) long-term community empowerment was provided to help the residents reach consensus and stimulate their actions; (2) community leaders’ exemplary actions facilitated the community’s sustainable development, (3) the establishment of partnerships between public and private sectors required the investment of human, monetary, and technical resources, (4) the community established its own abilities of sustainable management after governmental resources were withdrawn. 中文關鍵詞：低碳社區、永續能源、社區凝聚力 Keyword：Low Carbon community、Aspects of Energy Conservation and Carbon Reduction
