Since the industrial revolution, urbanization has been bringing criticalnegative impacts on water ecology and its functions, resulting in decreasingporous surfaces as well as increasing flood frequencies and urban waterpollution. Rain gardens, also known as bioretention areas, arerecommended as the best method to reducing urban pollution, not only itimprove water quality but also bring decisive results in decreasing surfacerunoff and floods. Thus, this study aimed at Taichung Tunghai University asits research area. Creating a better campus environment through raingardens and connecting the green campus to surrounding river and naturesystems can bring significant impacts. Therefore, the purposes of thisresearch are to (1) gain correlation between different space attributes andthe feasibility of installing rain gardens on the campus of TunghaiUniversity's; (2) gain differentiation of various feasibility factors of installingrain gardens on the campus of Tunghai University. The results of this studyconclude that the dormitory area should be the priority area to install raingardens on the campus of Tunghai University, it not only can reducechemical substances in domestic wastewater before being discharged intothe underground drainage systems but also can highly reduce the impact ofecological pollution of nearby rivers. The second priority is the teachingarea, where an open air design instead of an underground system, can bringeducational means, allowing for students to better understand theconnections between ecological environments, urban hardscapes, andrainwater runoffs. The two areas referred above can be prioritized as demonstrative areas, through observing its construction processes, resultsand benefits, establishing its advantages and feasibility, the system can thenbe further extended to other areas of the campus. |
