STUDY ON STRENGTHENING AND COGNITION OF EARTHQUAKE RESISTANT FOR OLD BUILDINGS :A CASE OF YUTIAN COMMUNITY IN YUJING DIST
Taiwan is located in the Pacific Rim earthquake zone with occurrence of earthquakes frequently. In the past two decades, several huge earthquakes occurred such as 1999 Chi-Chi earthquake, the 2016 Meinong earthquake, and the 2018 Hualien earthquake. How to strengthen the seismic retrofit for older buildings becomes an important issue currently. According to the statistics of the Real Estate Information Platform of the Ministry of the Interior, there areapproximately4.1 millionhouseholds of buildings built over 30 years and reinforcement is needed as soon as possible.What the most urgent thing is how to promote diagnosing with old buildings over 30-year old and to raise willing of seismic retrofit of old buildings for the residents.Not only the collapse of the WeiguanJinlong Building but also some older buildings damaged in other areas duringMeinong Earthquake in TainanCity in 2016.For instance, some old townhouses impacted and damaged in Yutian community inYujing District. This study tried to focus on damages in Yutian community in Yujing District in Tainan City. The areas were investigated from the west to the east including Zhongshan Road, Zhonghua Road, Heping Street and Renai Street. 304 questionnaires were distributed to the households of townhouses. The ratio ofquestionnaire collection is 83%. The methods applied in the study include descriptive statistics, t-test and crossover analysis. The results from this study point out that the willing for seismic retrofit from residents showed significant with level of worrying earthquake and real seismic performance. Besides, the residents living in older buildings had higher satisfying with post-earthquake respondent from the public sectors.We hope that the findings from the research could be useful to the strategy of seismic reinforcement for the residents in the future.

THE IMPORTANCE OF THE PARTNERSHIP BETWEEN THE PUBLIC AND PRIVATE SECTIONS FOR DISASTER RELIEF AND RISK MANAGEMENT. ~ THE EXPERIENCE OF TZU CHI'S GLOBAL EMERGENCY RESPONSE AND RECOVERY PROGRAMS.
In the event of natural and human-made disasters, the partnership model between the public and private sections is crucial to complete a comprehensive pre-intro and post-disaster recovery work. Therefore, the international humanitarian sector must respond fast to the needs of the world's most vulnerable people. For the past 20 years, the number of casualties and losses are escalating especially earthquake, causing the devastating situation. Hence, the enhancement of co-partnerships is worthy to be discussed and leaving no one behind. Since the 1990s, Tzu Chi Foundation has experienced more than hundreds of global humanitarian assistance projects, including emergency relief, mid-term resettlement, long-term reconstruction. With such, Tzu Chi began to launch disaster prevention and reduction projects, and strengthen resilience for the locals. In addition to Tzu Chi's efforts, we work to improve humanitarian standards, as partners in development, and response to disasters.Tzu Chi's grassroots, community-based solutions not only offer mitigation action on a personal level but also, and more importantly, raises awareness of the issue through corporate involvement. In order to improve the global disaster and risk management, including disaster prevention and reduction strategies, post-disaster relief and reconstruction in the disaster area, we would like to share Tzu Chi's disaster relief experiences of cooperation with public departments after the earthquakes happened in the world. Through the report, we would like to look for better risk management and future.
