IV. Conclusion
The high-degree economic growth has brought about the industrial and metropolitan development. People have to think of an appropriate outlet for the great numbers of harmless business wastes and construction wastes, lest they will pollute the environment.
The implementation of South Star Plan is the first example of waste disposal by adoption up of a seawall along the coast before filling of wastes. Through the perfect planning, design and the relevant departments' spiritual, material and technical assistance, South Star Plan started its implementation smoothly under the concerns of various fields. The development of South Star Plan can appropriately deal with the Kaohsiung territory's construction wastes derived from rapid economic growth, making the wastes not be discarded in the rural open space or dumped at a corners of the city, and then the city appearance is not affected and no pollution is caused for the second time. The plan also protects the citizens of the old tribes along Talinpu and the teachers and students of Feng Lin Junior High School, who are immune to the threats of sea waves. Besides, the newly derived land can increase the area of the city and can be used for promotion of municipal construction. It can be said that the plan has a lot of functions itself. Therefore, the promotion of South Star Plan should be a typical example for other departments to deal with the wastes.
In addition, apart from getting assistance and help from the relevant departments, the promotion of South Star Plan also receives financial and administrative assistance from the Council for Economic Planning and Development as well as the Department of Environmental Protection, Executive Yuan. It's really grateful upon receipt of their kind offer here!
