The issue we are discussing is marked by a series of significant concerns caused by garbage pollution, with a primary focus on plastic pollution. The overabundance of plastic waste in our natural surroundings raises significant alarm as it poses threats to the environment and aesthetics. Moreover, it intensifies the risk of biohazards and potential health consequences due to the persistent presence of plastics in the ecosystem. This complex issue is compounded by the scarcity of available land and funding for effective waste management, further exacerbating the crisis. Importantly, this issue extends beyond the oceans, affecting both marine and terrestrial ecosystems.(BA Walther、A Kunz、CS Hu - 海洋污染公報，2018 - Elsevier)

The increase in tourism, while economically advantageous, exacerbates the challenge, as a higher number of tourists inevitably leads to increased garbage production. This accumulation of waste gives rise to odor problems, negatively impacting the quality of life for both residents and visitors. To underline the gravity of the issue, we must consider key statistics and facts. According to a report from the Ellen MacArthur Foundation, if current trends persist, there will be more plastic than fish in the ocean by 2050, highlighting the imminent threat of ocean pollution. Additionally, the World Bank reports that improper waste disposal and the resulting environmental damage cost low and middle-income countries about $40 billion annually. These statistics underscore the urgency of addressing the multifaceted challenges posed by excessive garbage, biohazards, insufficient resources, ocean pollution, and odor problems.(Xiaoliuqiu residents pick up waste along the coast

While technology advances, it is crucial to simultaneously prioritize environmental concerns. Recent news reports continually highlight the pollution affecting the nearby Gaoping River, prompting our attention. In order to contribute to monitoring water quality and disseminating information via social media, we plan to leverage our scientific knowledge and skills.

During our research, we came across a unique method used in Poland where clams are employed for water quality testing. Inspired by this approach, we aim to utilize a similar method to assess water quality and share the results on social media platforms for the benefit of the community.

In addition to conveying information through social media, we intend to provide relevant knowledge about water quality issues. This approach not only raises awareness about the water quality concerns but also educates the public on our operational methods.

# data[].attributes.body
The Gaoping River Basin experiences distinct wet and dry seasons, with an average annual rainfall of approximately 2,454 millimeters. From May to October each year, the prevalence of the southwestern monsoon and frequent typhoon incursions contribute to about 82% of the total annual precipitation. The spatial distribution of rainfall in the Gaoping River Basin is highly uneven, with larger amounts near the Central Mountain Range and smaller amounts in flatland and coastal areas. Rainfall ranges from 3,042 millimeters near Yushan to 1,906 millimeters along the coastal areas.

Due to the highly uneven temporal and spatial distribution of rainfall, the Gaoping River exhibits significant variations in flow, leading to distinct fluctuations between low and high flow periods. At the Lioude Bridge station in the Gaoping River (yearly average), the daily flow rate is 234 cubic meters per second, with an annual discharge of 7.408 billion cubic meters. The maximum measured sediment transport rates in major tributaries are as follows: Qishan Creek at 24,966 tons/day (Shanlin Bridge (2) station), Laonong Creek at 70,726 tons/day (Liugui station), Zhuokou Creek at 102,155 tons/day (Datsuen Bridge (1) station), Ailiao South Creek at 44,636 tons/day (Sandimen station), and the main stream of the Gaoping River at 95,752 tons/day (Lioude Bridge station).

In the downstream Pingtung Plain, characterized by a favorable climate and abundant water resources, agriculture thrives. Major agricultural products include rice, bananas, soybeans, pineapples, wax apples, watermelons, and mangoes. Besides meeting domestic market demands, these products are also exported worldwide, contributing significantly to foreign exchange earnings.

The industrial sector has rapidly developed, particularly with the establishment of the Lin Yuan and Daliao industrial zones downstream on the right bank. Industries in Kaohsiung City focus predominantly on metal products, followed by basic metals, while Pingtung County excels in food manufacturing, followed by metal products. The coastal areas are well-developed in fisheries, with products being distributed widely.

The Mingyang Factory Fire: A Sad Event On September 22, 2023, a big fire happened at the Pingtung Science and Technology Industrial Park, known as the Mingyang Factory Fire. Many people heard about it. At first, people thought it was a place with chemicals, but it was actually Mingyang International Technology Co., Ltd., which makes golf equipment. The fire started exactly at 5:31 pm and was very serious. Sadly, 10 people lost their lives, including 4 brave firefighters and 6 workers. Many others got hurt, like 4 firefighters, 1 firefighter, and 106 regular people. There were also many explosions, which made it very hard for the firefighters. The firefighters worked non-stop for almost a whole day, and they finally put out the fire at 9:56 pm on September 23. The search for people who might still be alive finished on September 30 when they found the last person. This was a very sad event, and it shows that accidents can happen unexpectedly in workplaces. It also reminds us how important it is to have good plans for emergencies. References: 消防署.

Pingtung is facing a bit of a challenge. The folks there are getting up in years real fast, especially the farmers. Picture this: the old-timers tending to their crops, but their bodies aren't as spry as they used to be. It's like a real-life struggle.

And get this, the young guns aren't exactly jumping at the chance to carry on the farming legacy. They're eyeing the bright lights of the city instead. Who can blame them, right? The urban hustle seems way more appealing.

To add to the drama, the weather's gone all wonky with temperatures on the rise and crazy weather patterns. Traditional farming is taking a hit because of it. But here's the silver lining – the community's rallying together. They're giving a helping hand to the older farmers and bringing in some cool tech solutions.

Surprisingly, the younger crowd is kinda changing their tune. They're starting to see the value in preserving their roots and bringing some life back into agriculture. It's like a little revival of the farming spirit.

Despite all the hurdles, Pingtung is rolling with the punches. They're figuring out ways to keep their farming game strong and make sure it's around for the long haul. It's all about evolving and making sure the fields stay green in more ways than one.

"Pingtung, this little farming town, has been struggling lately. The farms are not as productive as they used to be, and the quality of the crops has taken a hit. To make matters worse, all the young folks have left, and now the remaining workforce is getting older. It's been years, and the agricultural output is just dwindling.

Luckily, the internet is like a treasure trove of information on agriculture, and there's a bunch of cool stuff about using AI in farming. So, here's the plan: first off, let's tap into the pool of young people who are just hanging out. We've got to make farming look attractive again, maybe throw in some perks or benefits.

And then, there's this awesome thing called AI. It's like a high-tech farming sidekick. With AI, we can cut down on the need for a massive workforce. It's like magic – it helps us do more with less. So, the idea is to blend the wisdom of the older generation with the tech-savviness of the younger one. We can tackle the workforce issue and boost our agricultural game at the same time.

It's all about using smarts and science to turn things around in Pingtung. Let's make farming cool again and get the town thriving!"

The vibrant coral reefs in our oceans have transformed in appearance due to the increasing sea temperatures. This change signifies the impact of greenhouse gases from ocean pollution and carbon emissions.

Our focus is to educate individuals about policies addressing climate change (SDG13) and strategies to diminish marine pollution while safeguarding the ocean (SDG14). The project's progress will be tracked through the monitoring of sea temperature, water quality, and the condition of coral.

This initiative is not solely about advocating for these global goals; it's about raising awareness of the challenges we confront. By analyzing our findings, we can comprehend the significance of implementing policies and taking action, motivating participation and support in environmental conservation efforts. Preserving coral is not just vital for maintaining oceanic equilibrium but is also intertwined with the stability of the entire Earth's ecosystem.

Understanding, recognizing, advocating for policies, and vigilantly monitoring progress will contribute to a healthier ocean and a sustainable future.

To address the issue of coral bleaching in Pingtung, Taiwan, we leverage our skills as students of the Department of Applied Physics at NPTU. To explore the severity of coral bleaching pollution in Pingtung

Additionally, we will use remote sensing to monitor daily water quality and temperature.And also using underwater cameras to regularly capture images of a specific coral reef area.

Using wireless monitoring technology to measure water temperature, along with photos captured by an underwater camera, we can determine the current level of coral bleaching in the area and its correlation with water temperature, providing insights into the severity of coral bleaching in the region.

This study highlights the significance of interdisciplinary collaboration and technological advancements in understanding and mitigating the impact of coral bleaching, contributing to the broader global efforts towards sustainable marine resource management.

1.

The suitable water temperature for corals to survive is between 24 and 28°C. If it exceeds 30°C, bleaching will easily occur. Marine heat waves will mainly cause sea water temperatures to rise. If a marine heat wave occurs in tropical seas, it will make the water temperature in tropical seas where the average summer sea temperature is higher. The long-term accumulated heat stress will lead to severe coral bleaching and die.

2.

In summary, stony coral bleaching occurred in every season at both sites. Heat, great or small temperature fluctuation all affected on the bleaching events.

The Green Iguana, scientifically recognized as Iguana iguana, poses significant ecological concerns as a "killer of native species." Upon introduction to non-native environments, it rapidly establishes itself, showcasing remarkable adaptability and a strong capacity for survival and reproduction.

This adaptability makes it a formidable competitor, leading to serious ecological challenges in invaded areas as it competes with and disrupts the native species and environment. (Matthijs P. van den Burg, Steven M. Van Belleghem, Christina N. De Jesús Villanueva,The continuing march of Common Green Iguanas: arrival on mainland Asia,Journal for Nature, Conservation, Volume 57,2020,125888,ISSN1617-1381)

Additionally, the Green Iguana's impact extends beyond ecological consequences, as it has also raised awareness about the need for effective measures in managing the introduction and spread of non-native species to safeguard biodiversity and maintain the delicate balance of ecosystems.(黃鈺婷（2021）。台灣綠鬣蜥飼主飼養概況與其生態風險行為初探〔碩士論文，國立臺灣師範大學〕。)

In order to achieve a healthier and more sustainable future for cities, it is essential to focus on two important goals: Good Health (SDG 3) and Sustainable Cities (SDG 11). First, we need to work on reducing road injuries and deaths as part of Good Health. This means making sure that people are safe when they use the roads. By doing this, we are taking steps to make sure everyone in the city can be healthy and well.

Next, when we talk about Sustainable Cities, we mean making the city a better place to live. This includes improving the roads and making sure that people can walk safely. If we design the roads well and make sure pedestrians have safe spaces, it helps everyone in the city. It not only makes the city more sustainable but also makes it a safer and healthier place for people to live.

So, by focusing on these goals, cities can have a positive impact. It means a future where people can be healthier, and the roads are safer. Improving the road environment and taking care of pedestrian safety are steps toward making our cities better places for everyone.

The improvement and safety measures of roads often impact pedestrians and vehicles passing through. Well-planned road infrastructure can significantly reduce potential risks.

Due to the growth of old trees, the three-meter-wide flood control road has been reduced to 2.8 meters, leading to frequent collisions between vehicles and the old trees. Apart from increasing the risk of injury for pedestrians and drivers, it has also caused extensive damage to the old trees.

Therefore, Pingtung University dismantled the walls and collaborated with the county government, relinquishing a portion of the land to protect the old trees.

The collaboration between official institutions and academic expertise has expanded the road width, eliminating conflicts with trees and creating pocket-sized ecological zones around mature trees. This has become an exemplary model for positive interaction between humans and nature.

Problem Statement: In Pingtung, there is a prevalent issue of poor awareness regarding traffic safety among the residents. One of the significant concerns is the high number of accidents attributed to the negligence of wearing safety helmets and running red lights. This lack of awareness poses a serious threat to both pedestrians and drivers in the region.

A recent incident involving a taxi driver highlights the severity of the problem. The driver, suspected of not paying attention to the intersection light signal change, ran a red light and made a left turn. Consequently, the taxi was struck by a crossing vehicle, resulting in a collision. Such incidents not only endanger the lives of those involved but also contribute to the overall road safety crisis in Pingtung.

Aim: The primary objective of our collaboration is to address and mitigate the issue of poor traffic safety awareness in Pingtung. By co-authoring a comprehensive plan, we intend to raise awareness among the residents, especially regarding the importance of wearing safety helmets and adhering to traffic signals.

Our aim is to develop a multifaceted strategy that includes educational initiatives, community engagement, and collaboration with local authorities to enforce traffic safety regulations. Through this collaborative effort, we hope to reduce the number of accidents caused by the neglect of safety measures such as helmet usage and running red lights.

Furthermore, our plan will emphasize the importance of responsible driving behavior among taxi drivers and other road users. By fostering a culture of awareness and compliance with traffic rules, we aim to create a safer environment for everyone on the roads of Pingtung.

Together, we can contribute to a positive change in the community's mindset and behavior regarding traffic safety, ultimately reducing the frequency and severity of accidents in the region.

As for the reasons for the destruction of coral reef ecology, the most important reason is that the sediment from land development accumulates on the corals, which is like burying them alive. If all kinds of sewage are discharged into the sea without sewage treatment, it will lead to eutrophication of the water and allow algae to multiply, causing Corals cannot absorb light. Events of high temperature causing large scale coral bleaching have been reported worldwide in last several decades. However, the role of low temperature, temperature fluctuation and other environmental factors in relation to coral bleaching is still insufficient. （2013）廖萩燁。 水溫與石珊瑚白化相關性之研究（碩士論文 國立中山大學）

As students in the Applied Physics from NPTU, we use the knowledge we have learned to observe the whereabouts of green iguanas using thermal imaging, electromagnetic fields, ultrasonic intimidation and other means to prevent them from entering certain areas.

We will use thermal imaging technology to observe the whereabouts of green iguanas, identify their habitats or living territories, and then plan how to prevent them from entering our important living ranges.

Design barriers through electromagnetic fields, and use electromagnetic fields to have a deterrent effect on green iguanas and prevent them from entering certain areas.

We use ultrasound, which humans cannot hear, to deter green iguanas. These sounds may disturb or disorient the iguanas, ultimately driving them away from the area we want them to stay away from.

The above is for us to apply the knowledge we have learned to provide solutions to prevent green iguanas and help solve the problem of green iguanas flooding everywhere.

Xiaoliuqiu has become one of the most popular domestic tourist attraction in recent years. And tens of thousands of people visit the island during the weekends. However large numbers of tourists tend to equate with a large amount of waste produced. With tourism on the rise for the area, the marine ecology in turn, has been severely damaged.

Possible impacts on human health are: (1) accidents ; (2) the direct ingestion of microplastic particles via food, mostly seafood, and the possible resulting internal injury

The government has announced that starting next year, at Shanfu Harbor and Yuchengwei, two ecological landscape areas, visitors will have to pay a fee of NT$60, hoping that this may help cut down on the crowd.

Problem Statement:

In Taiwan, many roads are not designed with sidewalks or pedestrian crossings, which has become a serious threat to pedestrian safety

At the intersection, the sidewalks are almost not pushed outward, causing pedestrians to be exposed to the road with more space!

The phenomenon of illegal parking also often occurs, resulting in a high rate of pedestrian and vehicle accidents

In addition, Taiwanese people generally use the car as the heart of the car to drive the vehicle, which also exacerbates the fact that drivers often do not pay attention to the condition of intersections and pedestrian paths, resulting in an increase in the accident rate!

Aim and Objectives:

This project aims to investigate and analyze the correlation between road infrastructure, especially the lack of sidewalks and pedestrian crossings, and pedestrian safety. By creating safer transportation environments for pedestrians, urban development and inclusiveness can be promoted, contributing to SDG 3 (good health and well-being) and SDG 11 (sustainable cities and communities). Our goal is to provide a safe transportation environment for pedestrians through human-centered roadway design. We provide sidewalks and pedestrian crossings at appropriate locations and add automatic sensor light sources around the periphery of these areas to make it easier for drivers to notice pedestrians when driving at night, thus reducing the incidence of accidents.

The Pingtung Science and Technology Industrial Park Fire in September 2023, also known as the Mingyang Factory Fire, broke out at 5:31 pm on September 22, 2023, causing 10 deaths (4 firefighters, 6 employees) and 111 injuries ( 4 firefighters, 1 firefighter, 106 people)

Later, it was pointed out that the location of the fire was not a chemical factory, but Mingyang International Technology Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of Mingan International Enterprise Co., Ltd., a global golf equipment OEM.

During the rescue at the accident site, several explosions occurred, making rescue difficult. According to preliminary reports, the plant is not classified as a toxic chemicals controlled facility.

The fire was put out at 9:56 pm on September 23.

On September 30, the body of the last missing person was found.

# data[].attributes.body
The Mingyang International factory passes the security inspection every year, but data shows that 3,000 kilograms of organic peroxides, which are fire-controlled public safety hazardous materials, are stored in the factory, exceeding the controlled amount by 30 times.

Three special project meetings were held in response to the Mingyang fire. It is understood that the responsibility points to the "Ministry of Economic Affairs"

"Factory safety is coordinated by the Ministry of Economic Affairs, which coordinates the Ministry of the Interior, the Ministry of Labor and the Ministry of Environment to review and propose fundamental solutions and improvement measures."

Directions for future improvement: The current fine for factories that fail to declare truthfully is only 10,000 to 50,000 yuan. The revised law will increase it by 10 times. The declaration of dangerous goods in factories will be increased from once every six months to once every quarter. The random inspection rate of building police declarations will be increased from the current 20 % increased to 40%

Xiaoliuqiu has become one of the most popular tourist attractions in recent years. A lot of tourists often equals a lot of trash. Marine ecology has also been severely damaged.(Xiaoliuqiu residents pick up waste along the coast)

Plastic pollution is a rapidly worsening environmental problem in terrestrial habitats but even more so in oceanic, coastal, and riverine habitats.

Possible impacts on human health.

近百歲雨豆樹生長縮減防汛道路　頻遭車輛擦撞、屏大拆牆「讓路」－民視新聞

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jDXJBLNCsyE

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
殺蛇溪畔這棵近百歲的雨豆樹，早年是在屏東農校的校園內，後來才規劃闢建了防汛道路，由於雨豆樹緊鄰殺蛇溪，隨著樹木成長，路幅僅剩2.8米，造成來往車輛險象環生，樹幹也常被車輛擦撞，導致樹身傷痕累累，秉持愛護老樹，與自然互敬共生的精神，今年春屏東大學與屏東縣政府協力組成「雨豆樹護樹聯盟」，屏東大學拆除60米長圍牆，內縮最多達7米，無償提供約77坪校地，並由屏東縣政府編列400萬元工程，官學合力拓寬路幅，讓人樹衝突不再，並在老樹周圍建構了口袋型生態園區，成為人與大自然良性互動的最佳典範。

今天（21日）屏大、縣府與社區居民，齊聚一堂慶祝雨豆樹重生，出席的包括屏東大學校長陳永森、屏東縣政府秘書長邱黃肇崇、水利處長江國豐、縣議員李世斌、梁育慈、屏東市民代表王芬里等人。屏大音樂系同學以大小提琴演奏多首曲目，在雨豆樹偌大的樹蔭下，悠揚琴音與徐徐涼風吹動樹葉的窸窣聲響，人與自然的和諧互動，十分優美動人。

陳永森校長致詞表示，「屏東事就是屏大的事」，所謂的「共好」不只是從人的角度來看，而是把樹當做環境的一部分，生活的一部分，如今道路拓寬完成，屏東大學將認養雨豆樹和口袋公園，期盼雨豆樹成為地標樹，標示著人與自然和諧共處，也印證屏東市是個宜居的地方，也要感謝雨豆樹爺爺繼續守護屏大與社區。

不少與會人士細數與雨豆樹點點滴滴的回憶與情感連結，縣府邱黃秘書長於民國66年就來當雨豆樹爺爺的鄰居，每天路過雨豆樹下，並使用手機拍下老樹晨昏的萬種風情，張張美拍常令人驚豔；縣議員李世斌則是民國51年出生，就和雨豆樹爺爺認識了，還有多名社區居民及早年在屏東農專服務的教職員，都和這棵氣勢宏偉的雨豆樹，各有不同美麗回憶。

與會人士都高度肯定這項護樹行動，特別是屏東大學願意主動讓路給老樹的做法，更是難能可貴的環境教育典範，眾人更齊心以澆水壺在雨豆樹下澆水，為老樹重生獻上祝福。雨豆樹下目前設有解說牌，是出自屏東大學中文系教授林秀蓉之手，在優美的文字敘述中，讓人在樹下乘涼的同時，也能聆聽老樹動人的故事。

此外，屏東科技大學名譽教授梁文進、森林系教授兼系主任陳建璋也透過先進的應力波、鑽孔阻抗非破壞檢測儀，在現場為老樹進行健康檢查，顯示百歲雨豆樹目前的生長狀況不錯。

屏大社會發展學系主任邱毓斌也在臉書寫道，「這次真心覺得，我屏大，我驕傲」，屏大能夠讓出校地，讓百歲雨豆樹從此得以自由呼吸，不再被狹窄道車道折磨到傷痕累累，真是令人非常開心。他更認為，能夠看到自家腳跟的需求，才可能是一所貢獻社會的大學。屏大跟屏東縣政府這次的合作，很了不起。

近百年前，路邊這棵雨豆樹從南美飄洋過海來此生根落戶，歲歲年年，朝朝暮暮，仰觀日月星辰，俯聽潺潺溪水，有如置身於世外桃源。陶淵明〈飲酒詩〉說：｢結廬在人境，而無車馬喧。問君何能爾？心遠地自偏。｣雨豆樹就像人間隱士般的定靜豁達，看盡歲月的榮枯變化。它自在自信，堅守崗位，以亭亭如蓋的樹冠，為行人低吟消暑庇蔭曲；春光爛漫時節，總是輕唱淡紅花朵綻放歌；而當它果莢閉合下垂，乃貼心預示雨水即將洗禮大地。這一幅生機盎然的溪邊風景，蘊含百年的生命厚重之美，值得細讀品賞。

「屏東事，屏大事」，2023年春屏東大學與屏東縣政府秉持護愛老樹，與自然互敬共生的精神，協力組成｢雨豆樹護樹聯盟｣，屏東大學拆除60米圍牆，內縮最多達7米，無償提供近256平方公尺校地，並由屏縣府編列400萬元工程款，官學攜手拓寬路幅，讓原本僅剩2.8米的防汛道路擴寬成5米路，不僅共同改善了民眾的通行，另建構一個口袋型的生態園區，藉此避免人樹衝突，造成樹身傷痕累累，讓雨豆樹擁有更寬敞的新居，這是人與自然良性互動的最佳典範。

屏東詩人楊政源〈雨豆的記憶〉寫道：「我從南美帶來/萬里鄉愁/落地而根生/豆如雨下//我從明治走過/百年愛恨/如僧廬聽雨/雨如豆下」，傳達雨豆樹家居台灣的歸屬，以及見證歷史嬗變的軌跡。它有如我們的忘年知己，標示扎根鄉土的印記，承載天地溫暖的情意。

Over the past few years, Taiwan has been internationally branded as a pedestrian hell because of its very pedestrian-unfriendly traffic environment. (https://www.chinatimes.com/realtimenews/20230821001629-260405?chdtv)

In recent years, the safety of pedestrians has gradually been emphasized.

Although the government has used many ways to protect the rights of pedestrians, such as enacting laws, increasing sidewalks, and installing pedestrian signs, pedestrian-related accidents continue to occur.

(https://news.ltn.com.tw/news/life/breakingnews/4348360

https://udn.com/news/story/7266/7404902)

Our goal is to give pedestrians a safe transportation environment and to rid Taiwan of the infamous name of Pedestrian Hell.
