Sketch of Public Policy Communion, September 2019
2019年9月份國政聯誼會縮影 ![]() 本會於2019年9月22日假台北晶華酒店三樓宴會B廳舉行「祐生國政聯誼會」。在主持人黃晉英秘書長宣布後揭開當日活動序幕,在輕鬆、活潑的節目過後,隨即由主持人帶來重要訊息:「祐生已於9月3日正式遷址「長‧安樓」,期望在全新的場域,建立更高的次序、提升效率。另外,外在環境不斷在改變,例如印尼災難級的霾害,隨著季風的吹拂,衝擊東南亞鄰近國家,台灣面臨生態變化導致蔥價暴漲,中美貿易戰也持續進行,這些都顯見末代四騎士已然降臨,而台灣因「八一七」公報但書須確保台灣防禦能力能保持相對於中國的水準,使得台灣在不穩定的局勢中取得平衡,也請在座各位共同努力,讓我們走出自己的道路,通過惡劣環境的試煉。」 The September Archilife Public Policy Communion of 2019 was held on September 22, 2019. After a series of relaxing and fun activities, Secretary General Huang Chin-ying made the following announcement, "Archilife was officially relocated to "Chang‧An Building" on September 3rd, hoping that the new site may help establish a higher order and enhance efficiency. Additionally, due to constant changes in the external environment, such as the disaster-grade haze in Indonesia blowing with the monsoon that impacts neighboring Southeast Asian countries. Taiwan, in the face of ecological changes, has been subject to shallot price hikes. Moreover, with the ongoing Sino-US trade war, the so-called last four cavaliers have arrived. For Taiwan, the August 17th communique proviso ensures Taiwan’s defense capabilities that match up those of China and enables Taiwan to achieve balance in an unstable situation. For those who are present here today, let us work together, take our path, and withstand the harsh environment." ![]() Next on the schedule was the keynote speech. First, Ms. Cheng Wei-ning, presented a speech on the "2019 Archilife Living Special Team Meeting Implementation Report". The presenter first said that the focus in the present stage lies in Archilife Sub-Shield Center’s hygiene and health plans, epidemic development forecast, and proper countermeasure responses. First, based on the abnormal climate trend analysis, the long-term high temperature and drought trend have been validated, which will impact public health in Taiwan. Therefore, a prewarning system should be set up to reduce risks. In terms of personal hygiene and education training, the regional climatic environment and ecological conditions should be properly monitored in order to strengthen stationing personnel’s physical health and psychological status. Additionally, special attention should be given to environmental hygiene management and infectious disease control, efficient medical system support setup, personnel rescue skill training, and the selection of garments made of suitable materials, and the improvement of the Energy Food Supply Operation Manual. In the future, changes in various factors will continue to be observed to conduct more in-depth relevant research. ![]() Next, Ms. Sun Ruei-suei spoke on "Local Creation and Art Festival: Focused on Land Art Season". The presenter first said the rise of cultural tourism contributed to local transformation and development. Take Japan for instance; its “local creation” policy is a “national” plan whose focus lies in: 1. Seeking and directing global capital investment in infrastructure through Tokyo Olympic Games; 2. Upgrading the local communities for future cultural tourism; 3. Preparing for social welfare with fund shortages. In the era of globalization, locality creation involves interaction and association with mass tourism to form cultural interaction and reproduction, and design the localities to be recognized by the world and for future generations to recall who they are. Hence, the vision and aesthetics of locality creation are issues of great importance. Finally, the presenter said the local creation capabilities to be upgraded include: planning, curation, and design. It is expected that Taiwan’s true strength in aesthetics, culture, and art imagination can be brought into full play through local transformation. ![]() Next, Mr. Tsai Kun-hsien spoke on "Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) and Global Vector Control Strategies". The presenter first mentioned the SDGs comprise 17 items, and members can work on the items based on their field of expertise. The presenter mainly conducted research on insect-borne diseases, including not only malaria and dengue fever but also flee control. Vector control requires inter-ministerial cooperation at home and abroad, community health education participation promotion, vector monitoring, intervention, and control, and integration and optimization of national strategies. The presenter further said that one can only understand by doing. Therefore, he led students to engage in internship in Africa, hoping that the students could learn to value university social responsibility. Over the past half a year, beach flea control was carried out in Kenya, Africa, sequentially setting up beach flea epidemic prevention systems, organic farms, and clean drinking water systems on campuses, thereby helping the locals improve the situation of infectious disease invasion. ![]() After the speech, Secretary General Huang Chin-ying presented a gift to the speakers on behalf of the foundation. Then, attendees expressed and exchanged their opinions and views during the piggy hour. The September Archilife Public Policy Communion ended smoothly. |
