| Popis: | The hundred-year prosperity of the mining industry in Jinguashi, Taiwan, introduced the development of new industrial equipment and factory operation models to the settlements of Jinguashi and Shuinandong, and also established a modernized living and social framework. However, changes in global industrial and cultural structures brought on the progression of urbanization, which in turn caused the disuse of abandoned land previously used by the production industry. In the Shuinandong area, the operation of a smeltery polluted the land, damaged the ecology, produced waste and caused the content of heavy metals in the ocean to rise. This environmental destruction continued to impact the natural environment and ecology of the area even after the smeltery closed. Today, with the rise of environmental awareness, people, environmental protection groups and government agencies have begun to pay attention to the impact of “brownfields” around them. In the Shuinandong area, brownfields are mostly used as space for tourism, and not much has been done to restore the environment through ecological methods. Therefore, this study is aimed towards environmental sustainability, and looks at how to preserve the Remains of the Thirteen Levels in Shuinandong while rehabilitating the polluted natural environment and landscapes in the area. This study also establishes ecological restoration assessment indicators that will allow the Shuinandong area to contribute its value for sustainability. |
