- NCKU Disaster Prevention Center - Disaster Preservation Plan Information Service Network
The Disaster Prevention Center of NCKU assisted in formulating the "National Development Strategy for Flood and Drought Adaptation Technology" and establishing the "Disaster Preservation Plan Information Service Network". Through cooperation with governments at all levels and the Water Resources Agency of the Ministry of Economic Affairs, in addition to developing an early warning system and an integrated disaster prevention information system at the county and city level, which provides real-time warning information and reference for emergency decision-making, it also establishes a service network to publicize the Potential Flooding Map and the Flood Protection Plan of all counties and cities in Taiwan starting from 2019, providing credible and reliable research and reference materials for official and private institutions.

- Taiwan-Japan Cross-Border Co-Operative Planning on Sediment Disaster Management and Evacuation Systems
NCKU’s Disaster Prevention Research Center collaborated with Taiwan’s Agency of Rural Development and Soil and Water Conservation (Ministry of Agriculture) and Japan’s Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism (MLIT) to conduct the 2025 Taiwan-Japan Sediment Disaster Management Exchange. Convening government disaster officials and technical researchers, the team executed field investigations across high-risk landslide zones in Hualien (including Chongde slopes and the Hongye River). The bilateral collaboration directly focused on climate-driven slope risk modeling, resilient watershed management, and early warning evacuation protocols, reinforcing international co-operative disaster planning and population displacement mechanisms.

- Industry, Government, Academia, Research, and Communities Convene at NCKU to Redefine Landslide Dam Risk Management: From Monitoring and Early Warning to Reconstruction
In response to the compound disaster of a barrier lake breach triggered by Typhoon Gaemi, NCKU's Disaster Prevention Education Center and Disaster Prevention Research Center convened an intersectoral conference uniting government agencies, researchers, and local Indigenous community representatives. Addressing heightened landslide and flood risks driven by climate change, the team evaluated real-time monitoring and evacuation protocols. The initiative delivered six institutional recommendations integrating watershed management with Indigenous knowledge to establish collaborative, community-based disaster displacement and response mechanisms.

- The 29th National Spatial Planning Forum: Supporting Government Policy on Resilient Urban-Rural Governance and Net-Zero Transition
NCKU’s Department of Urban Planning and the NCKU Research and Development Foundation institutionalize policy support for government agencies through the annual National Spatial Planning Forum, convening its 29th edition in 2025. Serving as a continuous advisory platform, the forum convenes leadership from the National Science and Technology Council, municipal government executives, and urban resilience experts. Discussions and academic paper presentations focus on deploying smart technologies, achieving net-zero transitions, and integrating climate-resilient spatial governance. Through this institutional mechanism, NCKU delivers evidence-based policy recommendations to central and local authorities, supporting government strategic planning to address territorial environmental risks and enhance systemic climate resilience.
