| dc.description.abstract | As a result of the many construction projects that have led to the economic development of Taiwan, there has come convenience but also environmental pollution. The construction work has caused great harm to the ecosystem. It has forced governments everywhere to continually strengthen their laws to defend and protect against air pollution and aggressively seek out ways to prevent global warming in order to build a common awareness of the proper attitude towards environmental responsibility.
With this in mind, we should ask if the environmental policy decision making and resource distribution of governments is reasonable. Also, is the protection of the environment effective when their decisions are carried out? It is worthwhile to investigate these questions. The construction industry’s traditional understanding lacks self-motivation for concern over environmental ethics. So we need to search more diligently for ways to increase their self-motivation and encourage the government and construction industry engaged in residential and business construction to begin to take more responsibility for the care of the environment.
This paper is based on the environmental justice point of view, using self-motivation construction reflection to expand environmental human rights to the environment rights. And it also promotes an active self-inspection system for pollution prevention rather than a passive one.
Recently in Taiwan there has been serious corruption and pollution which has accompanied major construction projects. The society has had to pay a heavy cost over them. They also involve the business ethics and decision making. This paper will formulate an effective model for environmental ethics decision making by researching actual cases to help the government and business play an active role in controlling the problems of environmental pollution.
In the end, I will use the example that Taipei City promotes the construction projects which follow the self-inspection pollution best as a model. I will also refer to the Global Views Monthly magazine which awarded the businesses that took the most social responsibility in June, 2005 as a model, too. Hopefully, the government can give green environment medals and tax deductions to the members of the construction industry which best fulfill the standards of pollution prevention. Besides the traditional environmental pollution and ecosystems, the government also needs to encourage the construction industry to extend protection to other economic and social development fields such as other industry developments, construction projects in cities, the establishment of communities, the maintenance of social justice, and the production, consumption, protection and usage of the resources. I look forward to the government being able to establish a long-lasting model for air pollution control for the construction industry in the future. | en_US |
