Some extreme weather and climate events have increased in recent decades. Theeconomic and societal impacts of climate change are affecting Taiwan in far-reaching ways—and are expected to become increasingly disruptive. Since Taiwan lies along the Circum-Pacific seismic belt, many earthquakes and volcanic eruptions occur here. There are two fault lines go through the Hsinchu City, one is called “Hsinchu Fault”, the other is called “Hsincheng fault”. Thismakes Hsinchu City face very high risks of suffering damage at the hands of severe earthquakes. While climate change is making hurricanes even more destructive, producing more intenseprecipitation and exacerbating drought conditions, other negative phenomena, such as, poorlydesigned and ill constructed buildings, unsafe and illegal buildings, high population density, illegal vehicle parking, narrow lane widths ,etc., are making the Historical Downtown Area moresusceptible and vulnerable to the impact of these hazards. The paper reviews hazard mitigation practice, employs a comprehensive analysis method toresearch the studies in this field, extract their findings, and integrate them in order to propose amodel that incorporates factors affecting the success of a resilient urban system. Field work andexpert interviews were carried out to find out the factors contributing to the success/failure of urban resilient design guidelines. Finally, the paper recommends a major resilient cities initiative, including expanding urban resilient system design, education and training, and increasing collaboration among professional groupsinvolved in city building and hazard mitigation, to create resilient cities, that are able to withstand any types of natural threats.
