This study aims to explore how historical attractions in old urban areas effectively contribute to tourism development. In particular, the accessibility and convenience of transport are analyzed using Spatial Syntax. Previous collaborative projects with local community colleges were assessed to obtain recognized spatial boundaries of old districts. The historic buildings and their points of interest were determined by the Hsinchu City Council. Modern cities’ grid patterns and straight roads connect various scenic spots. Using the spots, spatial syntactic analyses were conducted in this study. The impact of spatial features on the assessment was found indirect and dependent on the road network of the Old Town. A social responsibility program was also developed to investigate the rise and fall of cities in the development process.

This study aims to compute the display of indoor lighting and compare the performance of different lighting simulations. Students of the two-year vocational training program participated in this study to improve the quality of lighting design and understand lighting simulation programs. The participants learned how to construct 3D models for lighting analysis to acquire the necessary vocational skills. The teaching outcomes of four years were summarized to identify barriers in technical communication. Challenges that teachers face when teaching interior design were determined through discussion to communicate professional skills that were mismatched in teaching and learning. Suggestions were made on how to improve the effectiveness of learning and the quality of teaching in vocational education in online classes.
