There are some problems in non-urban planned area of Taiwan, for example, there are no plans to guide land use activity. There are many applications for land use change and government haven’t efficiently to controlled the illegal use of land. Climate change has become more and more serious in recent years and it makes non-urban planned area more and more sensitive and vulnerable. The rainfall of extreme weather events could be 2000~3000mm in two or three days and then bring about floods, mudflows and landslides. How do we adapt to the impact of climate change in the non-urban planned area? According to literature, resource management problems in the past and the concomitant increase of extreme weather events has exposed the inability of current regimes to deal with present and future challenges. They defend that the resource management has to change to resource governance- not only the management of top down, but also the negotiation of horizontal and vertical network. The resource governance should include the government, the public and the NGO organization. The case study area is Kao-Ping River Basin was the most worst effected area of Morakot typhoon in 2009. This study generalizes the problems and positions of non-urban planned area by overlapping maps of zoning, landslides area, controlled area of government organizations, etc. in geographical information system. To understand the problems of planned and controlled network of resource governance and how to adapt the impact of climate change in non-urban planned area by interviewing government, public and NGO organizations. The result of this study shows that there are no resource governance in non-urban planned area of Taiwan because they don’t have the same goal and discussion, the public seldom participates in public affairs, the NGO organizations have no power in making policy and the governments do not negotiate well with each other. In the end, there are three ways to adapt the climate change: make plans of central government, make laws and intergrade organizations. In the end, this study is illustrates how the government could adapt to climate change by achieving resource governance.
