Abstract. As progressive improvement <strong>of</strong> science <strong>and</strong> technology, the urban development <strong>and</strong> l<strong>and</strong> use activities<br />

become increasingly complex therefore the features <strong>of</strong> planning tools extended to three-dimension dem<strong>and</strong> <strong>and</strong><br />

flexibility obviously. Since 2005, the T.D.R. system has been adopted in Taichung City. It forced the l<strong>and</strong> development<br />

right toward to tradable <strong>and</strong> severable. Meantime, also created negative impacts <strong>of</strong> transaction cost, security <strong>and</strong><br />

environmental externalities, eventually resulted in complexity <strong>of</strong> urban growth control quotas <strong>and</strong> management policies.<br />

As above background, this article combines method <strong>of</strong> content analysis <strong>and</strong> focus-group interview with aims to discuss<br />

how to construct the practical G.I.S. <strong>and</strong> the computer-aided urban planning system. It includes not only provision <strong>of</strong><br />

sufficient market information, but also dynamic guidance to the l<strong>and</strong> development. Final attempt to achieve three main<br />

goals: The efficiency <strong>of</strong> l<strong>and</strong> use, service quality <strong>of</strong> public facility <strong>and</strong> quality <strong>of</strong> living environment.<br />

Keywords: Geographic Information System (G.I.S.), Computer-aided System, Urban Planning.<br />

1. Introduction<br />

Faces the rapid scientific <strong>and</strong> technological improvement <strong>and</strong> changes in l<strong>and</strong> development, government<br />

departments need to update planning control system in aspect <strong>of</strong> supply, management <strong>and</strong> planning techniques as to<br />

meet institutional dem<strong>and</strong>. Since progressive improvement <strong>of</strong> construction techniques <strong>and</strong> technology, the urban<br />

development <strong>and</strong> l<strong>and</strong> use activities become increasingly complex therefore the planning controls is required to three<br />

dimensions <strong>and</strong> flexibility obviously. In consideration <strong>of</strong> various complexity <strong>of</strong> dem<strong>and</strong> <strong>and</strong> supply, a flexible l<strong>and</strong>-use<br />

planning needs to be conducted based on comparatively-loose individual network <strong>and</strong> to be integrated to an open,<br />

flexible <strong>and</strong> reasonable model [1, 2].<br />

Taichung city, located in heart <strong>of</strong> central Taiwan, benefited from the direct air links between Taiwan <strong>and</strong> China,<br />

accessibility <strong>of</strong> high speed railway <strong>and</strong> the upgrade <strong>of</strong> municipal city that led to further rise <strong>of</strong> real estate development<br />

activities. In response to above policies <strong>and</strong> development needs, Transferable Development Rights (T.D.R.) was<br />

implemented since 2005 as to enhance severability <strong>and</strong> tradability <strong>of</strong> l<strong>and</strong> development rights. Meantime it also<br />

impacted to transaction security, environmental externalities <strong>and</strong> investment location, even became more complicated<br />

such as the policies <strong>of</strong> urban growth control quotas <strong>and</strong> management [1]. This article focuses on implementation <strong>of</strong><br />

T.D.R. in Taichung City, especially how to provide adequate information systems in both supply <strong>and</strong> dem<strong>and</strong>, thereby<br />

to construct dynamic planning patterns <strong>and</strong> control <strong>of</strong> three dimensional l<strong>and</strong> development for timely response <strong>and</strong><br />

adjustment.<br />

2. Materials <strong>and</strong> Methods<br />

This article reviews actual mechanism implementation <strong>of</strong> T.D.R. in Taichung City during 2005-2010. The location<br />

& quantity <strong>of</strong> T.D.R. received areas in Taichung City Shown in Fig. 1 is an uneven spatial distribution patterns. The<br />

content analysis <strong>and</strong> focus group interview are adopted as to a further discussion <strong>of</strong> how to achieve urban planning<br />

objectives particularly the balance between efficiency <strong>of</strong> l<strong>and</strong> use, service quality <strong>of</strong> public facilities <strong>and</strong> quality<br />

st<strong>and</strong>ard <strong>of</strong> living environment. This article attempts to conduct appropriate framework through urban geographic<br />

information system <strong>and</strong> the computer-aided planning system. With hope <strong>of</strong> the future enhancement <strong>of</strong> these systems that<br />

to assist public sector can fully grasp information through mentioned dynamical integration platform. To provide<br />

inquiry service <strong>of</strong> market information, it can be appropriate guidance for l<strong>and</strong> developers <strong>and</strong> to make market<br />

information to public <strong>and</strong> symmetry. Also the adoption <strong>of</strong> dynamic planning model to enhance the effectiveness <strong>and</strong><br />

rationality <strong>of</strong> urban planning system particularly a timely response <strong>and</strong> adjustment for l<strong>and</strong> control.<br />

The focus group interview is a brainstorming method, through the interaction process from groups <strong>of</strong> industry<br />

operators, <strong>of</strong>ficials <strong>and</strong> academics. The creation <strong>of</strong> chain interaction such as the B<strong>and</strong>wagon Effect with specialized,<br />

synergism <strong>and</strong> spontaneity, to provide a comprehensive perspective <strong>of</strong> the theme [3] . For size <strong>of</strong> focus group interview,<br />

this article refers to Richey <strong>and</strong> relevant studies, the case <strong>of</strong> a single or group topics for study, the small groups (such as<br />

8 to 15 persons) is the effective size to reach consensus [4]. Best also proposed more comprehensive view that public<br />

consensus generated from five or more participants, it could be better than the individual [5]. The market structure <strong>of</strong><br />

T.D.R. in Taichung City is shown in Fig. 2. As above, 8 experts are invited to the forum, including 3 <strong>of</strong>ficers (Taichung<br />

City Government, Urban Plan Committee & Urban Design Committee), 2 scholars (Expert Advisory Group) <strong>and</strong> 3<br />

members from industry (The L<strong>and</strong> Broker, Builder <strong>and</strong> Architects Association).<br />

3. The Framework <strong>of</strong> UGIS-based Database<br />

According to the Act, Taichung City Government needs to check all private reservations for public facilities, then to<br />

draw the atlas <strong>of</strong> transferable sent sites. It includes: (1) The type, nature <strong>and</strong> size <strong>of</strong> public facility reservations. (2) The<br />

overlays <strong>of</strong> transferable sent sites located in the urban planning <strong>and</strong> cadastral map. (3) Relevant stipulations under the<br />

Act. First <strong>of</strong> all, through focus group interview to reach consensus, also the query <strong>and</strong> M.I.S. is necessary to combine<br />

with G.I.S. <strong>and</strong> l<strong>and</strong> administration systems (consist <strong>of</strong> the cadastral map, l<strong>and</strong> management <strong>and</strong> l<strong>and</strong> registration<br />

database). Above data should be exclusively integrated into institutional structure as key element <strong>of</strong> the framework <strong>of</strong><br />

UGIS-based database. The system function could be exp<strong>and</strong>ed with input from institution characteristics, market<br />

transactions <strong>and</strong> actual dem<strong>and</strong>s. The concluded consensus <strong>and</strong> ideas through focus groups interview as shown in Fig.<br />

In addition to basic functions, the management departments can further apply the advanced query function <strong>of</strong><br />

database, to share potential information <strong>of</strong> dem<strong>and</strong> <strong>and</strong> supply, afterwards the administrative departments can<br />

continuously provide the necessary services <strong>of</strong> information, co-ordination <strong>and</strong> advisory to potential traders. Then the<br />

suppliers <strong>and</strong> dem<strong>and</strong>ers can complete transactions through negotiation <strong>of</strong> size <strong>and</strong> price on their own. This system is<br />

exp<strong>and</strong>able through the integration <strong>of</strong> related data, calculations. It can help potential traders particularly who have<br />

expression <strong>of</strong> intent to move into transferable zone with conditions. After information screening through conversion <strong>of</strong><br />

existed formula, it can preliminary select the possible transaction object.<br />

4. The Framework <strong>of</strong> Computer-aided Urban Planning System<br />

In response to foregoing impacts <strong>and</strong> issues <strong>of</strong> T.D.R., through this focus group interview to reach consensus, <strong>and</strong><br />

the M.I.S. for T.D.R. which must be combined with dynamic planning model then feedback to the urban growth control<br />

quotas <strong>and</strong> management policies. This M.I.S. can contribute assistance to local government when estimating the<br />

potential T.D.R. receiving areas for instance <strong>of</strong> controlling changes to the st<strong>and</strong>ard <strong>of</strong> living environment <strong>and</strong> carrying<br />

capacity <strong>of</strong> public facilities. On this basis, the R&D departments will be able to develop further computer-aided urban<br />

planning system then support the planning departments to improve the structural negative impacts during discussion in<br />

this forum, such as “The disorder between overall urban development quotas <strong>and</strong> growth management”, “The lack <strong>of</strong><br />

provisions <strong>of</strong> market incentive in guiding suitable location for development”, “The lack <strong>of</strong> information circulation &<br />

compensation mechanism <strong>of</strong> T.D.R. receiving area” <strong>and</strong> “Necessity <strong>of</strong> polices integration for guiding to a reasonable<br />

pattern <strong>of</strong> the urban spatial structure”.<br />

This article integrates the results <strong>of</strong> focus group interviews in topics <strong>of</strong> policies, systems <strong>and</strong> operations <strong>of</strong> urban<br />

planning. The practical concept <strong>of</strong> development planning framework <strong>and</strong> the support system is shown in Fig. 4.<br />

Further consideration in long-term scale, the T.D.R. receiving areas may be extended to new dem<strong>and</strong> for public<br />

facilities. It needs full evaluation <strong>of</strong> dem<strong>and</strong> <strong>and</strong> overcrowding problem through further review, assessment <strong>and</strong> plan<br />

beforeh<strong>and</strong>. The government <strong>and</strong> developer should mutually bear the burden <strong>of</strong> construction costs in proper proportion<br />

basis mutually. Furthermore, after tendency preview <strong>of</strong> demographic, social, economic <strong>and</strong> spatial changes in Taiwan,<br />

the planners need to guide a continuous <strong>and</strong> compact management model for urban spatial development. Therefore, the<br />

system can be further advanced such as urban regeneration, urban design <strong>and</strong> other institutions; To towards a more<br />

extensively-integrated databases <strong>and</strong> platforms, it requires a closely-connected multidimensional tool as to setup<br />

supporting measures; To conduct proper guidance for l<strong>and</strong> developers, <strong>and</strong> the co-creation <strong>of</strong> effectiveness <strong>and</strong><br />

sustainability for urban development.<br />

5. Conclusions<br />

T.D.R. is the important beginning to promote flexibility <strong>of</strong> l<strong>and</strong> development control in three-dimension basis in<br />

Taiwan. It also creates the negative impacts <strong>of</strong> transaction cost <strong>and</strong> security. However, current institution lacks <strong>of</strong> clear<br />

rules to appropriately designate the received area. Recent tendency <strong>of</strong> urban l<strong>and</strong> use, the market-led strength that<br />

towards to more concentrated locations. It has worsened the problems for instance <strong>of</strong> service quality <strong>of</strong> transportations,<br />

l<strong>and</strong> uses <strong>and</strong> public facilities in some popular areas. This article takes Taichung City as most representative case <strong>of</strong><br />

Taiwan. Firstly starts with focus group interviews <strong>of</strong> industrial, <strong>of</strong>ficial <strong>and</strong> academic groups. All forum members have<br />

widely discussion <strong>of</strong> how to provide sufficient information to market in basis <strong>of</strong> open, adequate <strong>and</strong> symmetric, <strong>and</strong><br />

then to build the framework <strong>of</strong> computer-aided urban planning system.<br />

Timing <strong>and</strong> reason <strong>of</strong> such critical institutional changes in Taiwan, the planners <strong>and</strong> managers need better solutions<br />

based on rational <strong>and</strong> traditional planning concept <strong>of</strong> blueprint model. In early stages <strong>of</strong> T.D.R., the local governments<br />

must proceed to integrate <strong>and</strong> exp<strong>and</strong> the urban geographic information system <strong>and</strong> other resources, consecutively build<br />

the UGIS-based database. Furthermore, local governments may focus on the application <strong>of</strong> relevant techniques <strong>and</strong> the<br />

development <strong>of</strong> computer-aided urban planning system in order to mitigate the impact <strong>of</strong> urban l<strong>and</strong> development<br />

conflict <strong>and</strong> externalities. This article has proposed the basic requirements <strong>and</strong> framework <strong>of</strong> aforementioned database<br />

<strong>and</strong> system, this study will also continue the exploration in subsequent rounds <strong>of</strong> discussion in relation to application <strong>of</strong><br />

more specific modules <strong>and</strong> technologies.<br />
