Taiwan exhibits plentiful wetlands, which serve as crucial habitats for animals and plants and play a key role in maintaining biodiversity and protecting the gene database of many species. Recently, conflicts and coopetition between environmental conservation and land development surrounding wetlands have arisen. This study explored the problems encountered in the road construction in Jiading Wetlands and solutions thereof before and after the enactment of Wetland Conservation Act, thereby revealing the opportunities and predicaments surrounding the wetland conservation efforts in Taiwan. First, changes in the use of Jiading Wetlands were reviewed. Second, public information such as meeting and review records, documents of announcement, and decisions by the high administrative court was collected| the speeches by key personnel in this information were analyzed to confirm and organize an importance matrix of stakeholders. The matrix was employed to analyze, verify, and discuss the conflict, complementation, cooperation, and relative importance and influence between the stakeholders, thereby clarifying the primary stakeholders and how they exercise their power. The analysis results revealed that the conversion of a high-intensity land use zone to a 127-hectare wetland park was the first and most crucial example of the wetland preservation, restoration, and education in Taiwan, achieved through the coordination and compromises between stakeholders as well as the changes in urban planning. The records on the case were analyzed to clarify the primary stakeholders and their exercising of powers, providing a crucial reference for effective coordination between wetland conservation and urban development in Taiwan. |
