Building destruction type analysis
     

From Oct. 16 2000, Construction and planning administration construction department in midland invited Taiwan professional civil engineer association, Taiwan structure engineer association, Taiwan ground engineer association, Taiwan water-soil maintenance engineer association and Executive Yuan Agricultural development committee water-soil maintenance bureau to send related engineers to perform the inspection of the water-soil maintenance construction in mountainside sloping field residential community. Focus on the communities in disaster areas that applied for the subsidy to do inspection. If any instant danger or an offense against public security, prompt estimation shall be proceeded immediately.

This inspection assignment has been done in 15 places in Nantou County and Taichung County (City). Some communities collapsed in 921 Earthquake have been completely dismantled. Attended experts and engineers advise that those shall be brought into entire community construction and planned together in the future. It will meet the actual needs.
Some community experts think that the supervision shall be transacted again to find out the reason of stratum slide.

In some communities, the construction company returned the public facilities to village government after the construction is finished. It becomes the government-owned land. We have suggested Executive Yuan 921 post-disaster reconstruction committee to offer the subsidy.
Attended engineers and units all offered that the power of nature is limitless. We shall channel this instead of attempt to block and avoid being against the natural rule and ecology.
