• Basic data about Dadu Plateau (wikipedia):

  The Dadu Plateau (Chinese: 大肚台地), also known as Dadu Mountain or Dadushan (Chinese: 大肚山; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: Tōa-tō͘-soaⁿ), stretches across Taichung City in central-western Taiwan. It faces the Taichung Basin on the east and the seacoast of Taichung on the west, and lies between the Dajia River and Dadu River. The plateau is long and narrow, has a length of about 20 km, and a width of about 5 to 7 km. It average height is about 151 m, with a highest peak which has a height of 310 m.

• 30 M Taiwanese Dollar, 3 Years Project to do a throughout scientific investigation on Dadu Plateau

Biological / Ecological Monitor

• Led by NCHU Biologist Professor Hsing-Juh Lin
• Ecological monitor times and frequency
  • Water area survey
    • 2016 Nanshi River (南勢溪) drainage survey 11 times
  • Terrestrial survey
    • In 2016, the team had completed 2 times, 7 sample stations, total 1950 cage-visit
    • In 2017, the team had completed 2 times, 6 sample stations, total 900 cage-visit
    • In 2018 (till September), total 4 month and 5 sample stations.

• Preservation strategies based on hard evidence and survey results

Archeological Historical Investigation

• Led by NCKU Archeologist and Archeology department director Professor Yi-Chang Liu
• Field exploration and determine culture assets, active ethnic groups, and their acitivities' geographical boundaries of pre-historical, proto-historical and historical era

• Establish an integrated perspective connecting human activities and natural resources (and its limitation)

Industrial Survey

• Led by Tamkang University graduate institute of China studies Professor Jiann-jong Guo
• From tourism, engineering to agriculture, all industries interview
• Field survey and statistical data cross examination
• Representing contemporary spatial land use survey and clarify its practical meaning

Aerial Photography and Video Production

• Led by Director of Changhwa Environmental Protection Union Dr. Chia-Yang Tsai

• Still Image Example: 牛罵頭 heritage site still photos
  

• Paranorma Photo Example: 牛罵頭 heritage site paranorma picture

• Video Example: 大楊油庫 1954 Sino-American Mutual Defense Treaty signed, Viet Nam war started and Taichung Ching Chuan Kang Airport (清泉崗機場), turned into US air carrier logistic base. The oil tank facility now turned into heritage architecture.

Mutual Enrichment and Interaction

• Integrated Understanding Toward Dadu Plateau
  • Engaging the municipal government in multiple ways
  • Legal, technical and administrative
• LOD and local culture memory
  • Ministry of Culture's "National Culture Memory Project"
  • Aerial image as cultural memory object
  • LOD infrastructure to accerlate the exchange
  • Citizen science dimension: old photo, new narrative
• Tools and Content Exchange: the Communal Practices
  • Culture technology disseminated
  • Open Science / Research
  • Political Dimension: Open Governmental Data in conflict and Empowerment
