Due to scarcity of land in Taiwan, Hong Kong and other countries in Southeast Asia, many developments are being limited by the surrounding hillsides to flatlands, which are causing great loss of life and properties during raining and typhoon season. However, with improved technology in dealing with stability and erosion, slopeland developments are now possible. MAA has devoted great efforts in carrying out hundreds of project with slope development and soil & water conservation problems. One of the most successful cases is the Great Taipei City in suburban Taipei, which is a 500 hectares residential development area. Recently, MAA assisted the Taiwan government to establish the geological hazard information including debris flows, rock falls, landslides, erosions, abandoned mines and cavities, etc. into a GIS system as part of national hazard mitigation program.
