Samples were generally taken monthly at the fixed sampling points from these lagoons. Consequently, the following matters have been mainly clarified: (1) ~D value of water samples in Sakata was generally larger than that in Toyanogata similarly to the case of ~180, though remarkable large difference among samples was not found; (2) the pH value of lagoon water samples is almost 6.5-8.5 (which is generally larger than that of river water), and pH at the spot of SI (downstream point of Lower Lagoon (Shitakata)) is remarkably high (9.0-9.5); (3) Lagoon water has the chemical characteristics contrasting to groundwater with a focus on river water from the viewpoint of pH (acidity or alkalinity) and DO. These matters can be closely related to the biological activity such as photosynthesis due to aquatic plant and phytoplankton and the activity of Crustacea plankton etc. in lagoon.展开更多

This study was implemented between May and July of 2011 to understand the local community perception of new residents living in five rural areas, and one city of Penghu, and to understand the community perceptions of these new residents. This includes: the new residents' feelings about the community, the new residents' feelings about interaction with the locals, multicultural acceptance of the community, and the new residents' feelings about participation in local activities. According to the parameters of this research, quantitative research methodology was adopted. After questionnaire studies and data analysis, the key findings are thus: New residents living areas have significant impact on the community perceptions of them, especially in two areas: the new resident's feeling relating to the community environment and their perception of interaction with the locals.展开更多
