Digital land-use maps and satellite imagery for 1982, 1988, 1994, and 2002 were used to extract aquaculture areas. A geographic information system was used to derive changes in aquaculture areas and to compute the spatial clustering statistics over time. A survey of eighty-seven farmers was conducted to obtain their views and concerns about aquaculture. The results show a rapid expansion in aquaculture during the 1980s, driven mainly by exports to Japan, and a continuous decline since the mid-1990s because of economic, environmental, and demographic factors. © Copyright 2006 by Association of American Geographers.application/pdf1282149 bytesapplication/pdfen-USAquaculture; GIS; Questionnaire survey; Spatial analysis; Taiwan[SDGs]SDG15aquaculture; Asia; Eurasia; Far East; Taiwanjournal article10.1111/j.1467-9272.2006.00523.x2-s2.0-33645690721WOS:000236672900005http://ntur.lib.ntu.edu.tw/bitstream/246246/173546/1/11.pdf
