科學與政策互動的社會生態系統研究
推動社會生態系統韌性研究,促進社會生態系統治理
在全球氣候變遷影響下,全球均面臨日益嚴重的環境、社會、和經濟問題挑戰。國立東華大學環境曁海洋學院於2020年1月,成立了生態及永續科學跨領域研究中心(CIRES),目標即為藉由嚴謹的科學方法,進行社會生態系統韌性研究,以於國家政策擬定及執行時提出適切的建議。本中心主要任務如下:
1. 以跨領域研究解決複雜的社會生態系統議題
永續議題的複雜性遠超越單一學門的知識範疇與解決能力。唯有綜整各方觀點、借助不同研究學門專業知識和方法論,始能解決今日所面臨的社會與生態系統挑戰。本中心是國內少數結合生態學及社會科學的研究中心之一。透過大型跨領域整合研究計畫,本中心聚焦於環境變遷、長期社會生態系統監測、與永續發展等研究方向,針對其中的重要議題,提出從知識到行動的跨領域解決方案。
2. 建立科學交流與合作研究的學術環境,促進國內及國際的合作研究
基於社會生態系統韌性議題的跨尺度特性,本中心將建構友善的學術交流環境,以利國內跨區域及國際合作的推動。
Center History and Development:
January 2020 Establishment of CIRES
CIRES was established in January 2020, with Professor Yi-fang Sun serving as the center director.
March 2021 TSH@CIRES Inauguration Ceremony and Forum
Taiwan Sustainable Hub (TSH) established a branch at CIRES. TSH aims to shape a new form of public governance thinking and innovative economy in Taiwan through sustainable pathways, transforming societal sustainability culture. Click [here] to visit Taiwan Sustainable Hub.
August 2022 Implementation of Landscape-Scale Ecosystem Services Assessment for Ground-Mounted Photovoltaic Development Social-Ecological Integration Governance Project
Starting from August 2022, a three-year project funded by the National Science Council has been initiated. Taking a landscape perspective, the project explores potential changes in land use caused by ground-mounted solar photovoltaic fields, assessing the impact of solar photovoltaic fields on the ecological services and residents' lives in the region.
October 2022 Hualien MegaBank Solar Photovoltaic Field Environmental Ecology Monitoring Project
Environmental monitoring of the solar photovoltaic field began in October 2022, spanning at least three years. The goal is to confirm areas within the photovoltaic project site with "ecological conservation value" and provide appropriate operational management recommendations to create a win-win situation with green energy development.
November 2022 Official Launch of CIRES Space
The meeting rooms, offices, and laboratories located on the 3rd floor of the College of Environmental Studies and Oceanography are now officially in use. We extend our sincere gratitude to Dong Hwa University for its strong support in various aspects, including funding and hardware.
June 2023 Establishment of LTSER Hualien Station
CIRES established the Long-term Social-Ecological Research (LTSER) Hualien Station in the Guangfu Township and Fenglin Township of Hualien County. Click [here] to enter the LTSER Hualien Station.
August 2023 Passing the Torch - Change in Center Director
With the completion of Professor I-Fang Sun's term as the center director, Professor Shih-Chieh Chang Chtakes over as the new center director.
