Overview

Our “Local Community”

Taiwan is narrow and densely populated, and the situation of population concentration in urban areas is increasingly severe, especially in Taipei City. Urban development not only endangers the ecological environment, but also causes environmental pollution. Now is the time for us to reflect on such issues. Urban development should not only be based on human beings, but should also consider environmental protection, ecological conservation, and reduction of the impact on the environment. Only in this way can a harmonious coexistence relationship between man and nature be established. Our research topic is to reflect on the current crises of the earth, human beings and urban development based on sustainable development. Hopefully, through this study project, we can awaken everyone to cherish the earth's resources, care for the environment, implement the concept of sustainable environment, and jointly create a healthy and comfortable living environment for the cities where we live. 

Abstract of Our Research Study Project

Human beings and the earth are an inseparable life community. Unfortunately, in order to meet the needs of life, human beings consume unrestrainedly, excessively exploit resources and develop the economy, etc. In these processes, human beings often ignore the impact of pollution, which makes the pollution problems become increasingly severe, seriously affect the ecological environment, and lead to the crises of the earth. Moreover, due to the rapid population growth, in order to meet the demands, human beings must continue to expand land, exploit raw materials and produce in large quantities, which rapidly consumes most of the resources on the earth. Such large-scale economic development also has a great impact on the ecological environment and human health. In recent years, various countries around the world have begun to attach importance to the issue of "circular economy" and used new technologies to re-manufacture waste, which significantly reduces the consumption of energy and resources and the generation of waste to solve current environmental problems. Hopefully, through the implementation of the “circular economy” development mode, the coexistence of human economic development and the ecological environment can be taken into account. Our research topic is to reflect on the current crises of earth resources, human health and ecological environment based on sustainable development. Hopefully, through this study project, we can awaken everyone to cherish the earth's resources, care for the environment, implement the concept of sustainable environment, and jointly create a healthy and comfortable living environment for the cities where we live.

Our Computer and Internet Access

Our school is equipped with complete information hardware equipment, and every class is equipped with computers. In addition to three computer classrooms and a multimedia classroom, the school also provides local area network (fiber optic backbone and 100M), Internet (external fiber optic 10M) and network hard disk space. Therefore, it is very convenient to collect data, teach software and make web pages at school.

Problems We Had To Overcome

1.Collection and arrangement of data

After determining the research topic, we began to spend a lot of effort to find relevant data from on-site visits, the Internet, and libraries. Due to the huge amount of data collected, we spent a lot of time on the division of labor and cooperation, and each team member had his/her own tasks. After reading, we arranged relevant data, and eventually discussed with the teacher. In terms of data collation, we also made a lot of efforts. We recorded the interview content of each interviewee, arranged, and analyzed it in detail, and then gave it to the interviewees for comparison. We were afraid that there was missing or incomplete interview content. Although it took us some time, we believed that doing so made the entire research project more complete.

2.Professional terms

Since our project is mainly based on circular economy, which involves relevant circular economy theories and relevant professional terms. Therefore, it was very difficult to write research content and interview content. As a result, we had to work hard to read books in advance, ask teachers, and search websites to understand the relevant professional terms one by one, in order to overcome the difficulties encountered in research.

3.Difficulties in making web pages

We had to use a lot of software when making web pages, which was not easy for us beginners who were new to web page making. Therefore, we usually used our spare time to discuss problems with the teacher and engaged in repeated attempts and exercises, which enabled us to gradually overcome the difficulties encountered. In the end, we became increasingly familiar with the concept and operation of software, and gained a lot of confidence in the production and artwork of web pages.

Our Project Sound Bite

In this learning journey, we felt that participating in the research project offered us a lot of valuable experiences and knowledge. In particular, we used the circular economy as the research topic. During the processes of on-site visits and data collection, we had a more in-depth understanding of urban development, ecological issues, environmental protection, energy conservation, and other related topics. At the beginning, from team composition, tacit understanding cultivation, topic selection, data collection and arrangement to web page production, we encountered many difficulties in the research process. However, we tried our best to eliminate any obstacles and achieve our goal step by step. Such a joy was indescribable in words. Of course, during the process of completing our research project, we were assisted by some enthusiastic and kind people along the way, and we have also received a lot of encouragement and support from our teachers.
