The land use data of catchment collected in this study before and after Typhoon Morakot was analyzed against the man-made changes to the agricultural land, building material and road through the cross-reference and comparison via ArcGIS GeoProcessing Tool of Model Builder. They are validated against the regulations pertaining to the use of zoning and restricted land development to discuss the rigidity of the land use within Tseng Wen Reservoir catchment after Typhoon Morakot came.
