The primary objective of this study is to investigate the carbon footprint, resilience levels, and optimal landscape area ratios of various parks. Additionally, it explores the relationships between landscape element proportions (LEP), the normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI), resilience indicators (RI), and the carbon reduction benefits associated with carbon neutrality (CN). Six parks were assessed for resilience, NDVI, LEP, and CN values, with Pearson correlation analysis conducted. The results revealed that parks with or without waterbodies exhibited ideal LEP area ratios of 6.5:2:1.5 (Softscape:Waterbody:Hardscape) and 8.3:1.7 (Softscape:Hardscape), respectively. Enhanced Softscape and reduced Hardscape proportions in parks correlated with increased NDVI and CN. NDVI exhibited a positive correlation with Softscape percentage and a negative correlation with Hardscape percentage. Conversely, CN demonstrated a negative correlation with Hardscape percentage and a positive correlation with Softscape percentage. Suggesting Softscape should constitute over 65%, and Hardscape should be under 15% in parks with water bodies. Waterless parks are advised to maintain a Softscape ratio exceeding 83% and a Hardscape ratio below 17%. Finally, the study extended to assess the LEP of 22 additional parks, validating the suitability of the ideal LEP area ratio.

This article examines the effectiveness, challenges, and reflections on developing and delivering online courses during the COVID-19 pandemic in Taiwan. It utilized a questionnaire survey to collect data, employing Likert-type scales to gauge various aspects. The survey findings are as follows: (1) Both educators and students view online course quality positively, but 44.8% believe they cannot match in-person classes' learning experience. (2) There's a neutral stance on online class learning objectives, yet 45.5% find them lacking in interactivity. (3) Google Meet and Microsoft Teams are widely used for online instruction, with over 60% satisfaction. (4) Common challenges include unstable internet, communication issues, and limited interaction opportunities. (5) Feedback satisfaction is low, with disparities between teachers and students on learning outcomes and course feedback. Enhancing online teaching tools' foundational features is vital for better interaction and improved learning outcomes. Features like recording and playback aid learning, requiring infrastructure enhancements and system optimization. Offering diverse feedback channels, such as typing or voice options, and utilizing multimedia resources cater to varied learning styles. Drawing from survey results and literature, this study proposes instructional strategies to guide landscape design courses' remote teaching design and implementation.

This research is based on the theory of geographic location and uses a combination of Fuzzy Delphi Method (FDM) and Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) to establish an evaluation framework for the site selection of Healing Parks. The research applies geographic information system (GIS) and conducts empirical research in Nantun District, Taichung City. The research examines the site selection indicators from three dimensions: environmental, socio-economic, and policy. The quantitative results of AHP weight values show that park accessibility (0.41), surrounding age structure (0.19), park area (0.13), and distance to public transportation (0.11) are the top four important evaluation indicators. Taking the existing parks in Nantun District as an example, the research calculates the priority order of Healing Parks site selection as Nanyuan Park (3.94) > Fengle Sculpture Park (3.72) > Wenxin Forest Park (3.56). Although there is room for improvement in the evaluation indicator system, this research provides decision-makers with decision-making references, enhances social welfare, promotes the development of healing, and enriches the research content and methods of related disciplines.

In the wave of the information technology era and in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, online meeting discussions have become popular and many new social media tools have been widely used by the public. Online meeting discussions have many advantages over traditional physical meeting communication methods. This study used a SWOT analysis to compare the differences between physical and online meetings, and a comparative empirical study of the implementing consensus on visual signage systems was conducted to examine the implementation benefits between physical and online meetings for reference in subsequent studies.
