 Applications on Slope Lands Management through GIS Technology Track: Environmental Management Author(s): Hsiu-Yi Ko, Jo-Yu Liu, Tai-Chung Hsiao, Ying-Hui Chang, Tian-Ying Chou Land resources in Taiwan are limited, and two thirds of the territory is the mountainous and hilly areas that can't be highly developed. Due to the population explosion, people gather in urban areas. The slope lands predominate three fourths of Taiwan Island becomes the target of urban sprawling. The limited land resources are getting less, worse, and beyond its tolerance under the circumstances of over-development. Improper development causes damages to natural environment easily because of the complicated and special natural environment. Damages caused by natural disasters in recent years can approve the counterattacks of mother nature. Otherwise, insufficient human resource and heavy workload in supervising slope land developing behaviors lead to occurrence of frequently illegal development that is a threat to conservation and homeland security. Hence, RS, GPS, and GIS technologies are integrated and used to assist the monitorship on slope land development and to hold back the illegal behaviors.
