Assessment of Climate Change and the Sustainable Refurbishment of the Northern Paiwan Slabstone House in Taiwan

Abstract:

Climate change has increased the vulnerability of physical environments and natural disasters can cause serious loses. Climate change and the plight of the world's indigenous people of Taiwan, the South Island nation and other aboriginal peoples of the world has been a very popular topic and the similarities and differences of both situations are being discussed; it has been suggested that each country should develop its own system to evaluate the disaster risk caused by climate change. Therefore, this study is based on the climate circumstance that drafts evaluation indexes through literature and now saves the most completed existing slabstone houses as the case, review and experts workshop. Furthermore, this study sorts evaluation indexes through the Fussy Delphi method. Finally, the entire evaluation system includes three themes: climate change factor, physical environment condition, and social economic condition. Indictors include: typhoon season, rainy season, summer, geological hazards sensitive area, awaiting migration of the settlements, and slabstone house renovation system.
