Summary: | 碩士 === 中華大學 === 土木工程學系碩士班 === 103 === In previous years, the pursuit of economic development resulted in the inappropriate utilization and over-development of natural resources, which seriously affected the environment and natural habitats. Therefore, the United Nations held “The Conference of Human Environment” in 1972, engaging government officials to give attention to the fact that human activities were destructing natural environments, hoping that the government and international institutes would work together to make improvements. In 1980, the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) first introduced “Sustainable Development,” calling for attention that the planet is in crisis for the depletion of its resources. The United Nations further formed “The United Nations Commission on Sustainable Development” in 1993, to supervise and assist its countries to implement the concept of sustainable development. Complying with this trend, Taiwan’s Executive Yuan established the “Committee of National Council for Sustainable Development” in 1997. In line with the policy of Executive Yuan, the Ministry of Education actively promoted the “Sustainable Campus Promotion Project,” to renovate the environment and ecological conditions of traditional campuses. The project includes building ecological ponds for educational purposes as entries for applying for award programs on sustainable development, in order to encourage schools to build ecological ponds in their campuses. However, these ecological ponds do not meet the criteria of eco-design, not to mention being able to achieve the goal of sustainable development. Thus, this study examines the ecological pond in Shi-Hsing Elementary School as case study, and applies the 40 principles of invention, technical contradictions, physical contradictions and substance-field analysis in “Systematic Inventive Theory” in improving the pond. This includes increasing its water flow and adding a filtering system to reduce the rate of eutrophication, and improving the hardware architecture to create more ecological biodiversity. Moreover, the study also systematically examines and analyzes the problems of the management and maintenance of the pond, then further summarizes a feasible strategy for improving the pond, so that the pond can meet the criteria of being a condensed natural environment and the concept of sustainable campus, to bring the educational purpose of the pond to its full play.
