Abstract
In 1983, the Taipei City Government has initiated the so-called “Comprehensive Design System” through the law-making of “Taipei City Zoning Regulation”. However, due to the social dispute about the openness of the bonus “open space”, “residential zone” was excluded from the application list in 1999. In addition to the potential negative impacts on the environmental quality due to the building height and bonus floor area, the main reason was the management quality of open space. Theoretically, the policy’s objective is to encourage more flexibility in the environmental design in order to get rid of single object in maximizing the floor area.
According to the experience of Taipei City, it is interesting that the original idea for “comprehensive design system” is to improve the area environmental quality, but it is cancelled for the conflict with “inadequate openness” of the application areas. This study will focus on the cases of residential areas with the application of “comprehensive design” in Taipei City. Through comparing to neighbor ordinary buildings, user’s experiences will be surveyed to analyze and evaluate the policy’s effects.
The result of our survey shows that people are most satisfied with the visibility effects among different dimensions. It is also found that most people are satisfied with the quality of “pedestrian space” among all items of evaluation. Additionally, through the cross analysis, it is found that respondents’ attribute “the type of building” is the most important factor affecting the environmental quality evaluation. Overall, most respondents are more satisfied with the environmental quality in areas with “comprehensive design” than those areas without “comprehensive design”.
Therefore, this study concludes that the implantation of “comprehensive design system” is helpful in the improvement of area environmental quality. It’s a pity that the qualification of housing area was concealed simply because of the privacy issue to the residents in the first floor. It is argued that for the needs of residential behaviors, the goals of the policy should be revised. Regarding the provision of incentives, the items should be flexibly adjusted according to the contribution of different case so that the overall environmental quality can be improved.
