More and more development projects have been seen in the corridor area next to Red and Orange Line of Kaohsiung MRT project after commence of operation of the project. Construction of basement of the said development projects is often delivered close to MRT structures and may affect safety of MRT system in operation. Therefore, authorities and operation organization of Kaohsiung MRT, have to carry out necessary review, supervision and management procedures accompanied with required regulations of protection and safety of MRT. In this study, through case study of Kaohsiung MRT and questionnaire survey, the analysis is delivered to evaluate acceptance of public for current regulations of protection and safety of MRT and also to explore whether any further improvement has to be done. Considering outcome from this study, it is concluded that (1) in general, current regulations are accepted by public; (2) the public still holds doubts in the units’ capability of crisis management once accident happens in construction activities delivered adjacent to MRT facilities; (3) the public acknowledged the necessity of implementing restrictions on the MRT construction and believe that current related regulations are reasonable. However, there are still rooms for further discussion on the legally required control for the metamorphic values; (4) a risk distribution scheme should be enacted to assess on the appropriateness of insurance purchased for construction cases proximity to MRT, such as deductible, legal cap on liability, insured period…etc.. It is suggested that the relative case of other countries shall be referred for further discussion; (5) when the contractors occasionally have difficulties in submitting monitoring report on time, the awareness to the clues of warning may be waned and delayed, resulting in the failure of seizing opportunities in advance and ensuing in the occurrences of the damages to MRT facilities. The solution lies in the exact enforcement and on-time delivering of the reports. It is strongly recommended that the related clauses should be amended to increase the penalties of violations so that the official authorities can enforce the regulation procedures on the construction units more directly and efficiently; (6) in Europe, Japan, Hong Kong or Singapore, the third impartial party is hired to ensure that the facilities will not be influenced by the adjacent construction. Their job is to independently examine the product of the prototypes and to guarantee that the construction will proceed under thoroughly investigation or censorship. Moreover, an impartial advisor could be hired for the enhancement of the quality and safety of construction.
