Abstract
Overall, there is immaturity in civil society in Taiwan and considerable deficiency in social infrastructure; this project seeks to consolidate civil society with sustainable city planning at the same time. We use Hsinchu City, a center of the computer industry in north Taiwan, as a model for the ―Eco-City smart living technology center‖ developed by National Chiao Tung University to establish an ICT infrastructure with the goal of integrating health needs and city planning. This plan, based upon the idea of group consent as a basis for ethical governance, a framework developed for the Taiwan Bio-bank, implements the concept of participatory governance by first establishing a mutual assistance health promotion database in the community. Following, a database for living activities and cultural affairs is assembled to enrich daily life in the associated communal area. Finally, a large-scale ecological and environmental databank will be established for sustainable regional planning. These databanks with community-based benefit-sharing are a feature of infrastructure for developing a knowledge environment. National Chiao Tung University(NTCU), coordinating with other universities, research institutes, and the industrial science park, will create the knowledge architecture to forge user innovation as a key element for each knowledge cluster in the ICT product design process.
