Abstract
Up to Nov.30th of 2007 when the term paper is due, each and every task listed on the contract is achieved as scheduled.
On quantified targets:
The project up to Nov. 30th when the term report is due, a total of 15,870 scooters have been stopped and inspected on the road, an achieving rate of 105.8%. A total of 1,758 cars was stopped and inspected on the road, an achieving rate of 175.8%. On inspection and appraisal done in the station conducting regular inspections, regular inspections every two months on 89 stations throughout the whole county, 5 stations per time, the achieving rate is 100%. On carrying out ir-regular inspections ( including on holidays ), 55 stations were inspected. Gas inspections were carried out at 57 stations. Actual car inspection practice was done at 24 stations. With the company of experts and scholars, inspections were carried out at stations reporting abnormal rate of vehicles inspected but failed to meet the standard and with constant faults. The inspection and appraisal results were submitted to the Environmental Protection Bureau for rewared/penalty decision and for announcing to the public. On promotion efforts, free-of-charge inspection was carred out on 1,013 scooters, an achieving rate of 101.3%. This service was also performed in universities /colleges and organizations/agents. Of them, 1,038 scooters received the free-of-charge inspection, an achieving rate of 103.8%. On cars without receiving regular inspections, a total of 70,620 letters were sent to the car owners from the local government up to end of November 2007. And, of them 41,472 cars came back to receive inspections. On the regular-inspection notices sent through postcards, 465,128 postcards were delivered as scheduled. Data on postcards returned is established and presented to the Environmental Protection Department to revoke registration on vehicles which are deemed invalid.
On the rate of vehicles receiving inspections proclaimed by the Environmental Protection Department, the announced November controlling rate of scooters in use in Pingtung County is 48.68%, an achieving rate of 69.54% ( without deducting the invalid vehicle registrations ). It is estimated that by end of 2007 the rate of vehicle receiving inspections will reach 59.4% while invalid registration is deducted. Compared with 55.6% of 2006, an improvement of at least 3.8% is expected. In that case, when the project comes to a close the achieving rate will reach 84.8%. Scoring is expected to be 1.27. From the scoring standard by way of the achieving rate, 1% improvement will add a score of 0.1. Then, this year has at least a 3% improvement higher than 2006. Therefore, the controlling rate of scooters in use of this project will receive a full score. Data checking of each quarter this year is also completed 100%.
On non-quantified targets:
Up to end of November 2007, the total number of cases informed by the public is 112 ( 91 on scooters and 21 on cars ). After verifying, the case to treat is 112 cases. 109 cases are to notify of the inspection. ( 3 vehicles are repeated. ) 112 cases are answered, so the efficiency is 100% on all informed cases. Treatment results to all informed cases are answered to the informers by official letters. On pollution reduction, based on the calculation principle of SIP performance appraisal on air pollution emission reduction, 370,508 cars have been fine-tuned and met the requirement up to end of November 2007. After calculation, the total reduction on pollution is THC: 131.6 tons; NMHC: 118.4 tons; CO: 897.4 tons.
On statistical analysis:
Of all measures taken, the measure of stopping and inspecting vehicles on the road has created the best rate of vehicles coming back for inspections. If the driver receives the inspection notice on site, the chance that he/she takes the motor vehicle back for inspection is as high as 70% and above. If by placing the inspection notice on the motor vehicle, the chance the driver of the vehicle takes his/her vehicle back for inspection is as low as less than 40%. On both practices, if 2nd notice service is added ( such as through registered mail attached with photo ), the chance that the driver takes his/her vehicle back for inspection can be upped to 80% and more. This data analyzed show that the public in the county are weak in abiding law. Monitoring and auditing efforts should be enforced or employing car identification system to get evident proofs. So that vehicles receiving regular inspections are increased and contentions are lessened.
On the rate of vehicles coming back for inspections due to the receipt of the government letter, the average rate in terms of the measure of stopping and inspecting vehicles on the road is 76.85% ; the average rate in terms of the measure of monitoring and inspecting the vehicle on the road is 67.72%; the average rate of vehicles coming back for inspections on the receipt of the letter is 58.73%. Reasons that explain why the rate of vehicles coming back for inspections is low might be that the vehicle registration notice may have failed to reach the notified party, vehicles on the move and the general public’s poor perception of the regular inspection system.
In terms of vehicles that have received regular inspections but failed to be deemed meeting the standard, the rate of scooters inspected but not meeting the standard is comparatively low. That rate is lower than 15% in Linlo Township, Pingtung City, Shangtsi Township, Chaochou Township, Wandan Township and Jiourue Township. Rate higher than 20% is found in Tsuengzi Township, Manchou Township, Laiyi Township, Fongshan Township, Checherng Township, Wutai Township, Lion’s Township, Taiwu Township and Mudan Township. The rate difference shows that the general public living in urbanized cities and towns care more about vehicle maintenance. This indicates the implementation of regular inspections is very important. On the contrary, residents living in remote areas show less concern on vehicle regular maintenance.
Towns where stations conducting regular inspections are distributed such as Hengchuan Township, Kaoshu Township, Liuchou Township and Fangliao Township, the rate of their vehicles not meeting the standard is 18% which is higher than other towns where stations conducting regular inspections are also distributed. This could be that the vehicles in those townships do not receive inspections and maintenance as they are supposed to. Therefore, it is necessary to enforce the measure of stopping and inspecting the vehicles on the road in places where the rate of not meeting the standard is higher and the traffic is heavier so that the purpose of stopping and inspecting the vehicles on the road is served.
The rate of vehicles not meeting the standard found out through the measure of stopping and inspecting the vehicle on the road is the highest which amounts to 19.74%. This could be that that measure is conducted at the main traffic site of every town and city and the public there pay little attention to regular inspections and maintenance for their vehicles. They may have failed to have their vehicles receive regular inspections as required. So the rate of vehicles not meeting the standard is higher. Comparatively, the rate of vehicles not meeting the standard through the measure of regular inspections notice is evidently lower than the rate through the measure of stopping and inspecting the vehicle on the road. The rate difference could be that the places where the two measures are conducted are different. The place where regular inspections are conducted is mostly located in urbanized towns and cities, or in the campus of colleges/universities. And the regular inspections are constantly done and completed. The acceptance rate of the public and the students towards regular inspections is higher. Their concern on vehicle maintenance is more as well. Therefore, their vehicles not meeting the standard have a lower rate than other places where the measure of stopping and inspecting the vehicle on the road is conducted. This result also shows the implementation of stopping and inspecting the vehicle on the road is very important.
On the age of vehicles receiving regular inspections:
Most vehicles receiving annual regular inspections are aged between 4 and 10 years. The rates of these vehicles receiving inspections are higher than 57%. When the vehicles are more than 11 years of age, they receive less attention and evidently fewer inspections. By statistics, vehicles aged less than 10 have a rate of 64.9% in receiving regular inspections; vehicles aged more than 11 receive have at a rate of 31.1% in receiving regular inspections. This shows that the general public are more willing to give their new vehicles more attention and maintenance which leads to conducting regular inspections. On the contrary, they show less willingness to aged vehicles when it comes to regular inspections. It could also be that they are afraid of their aged vehicles failing to pass the inspections so they choose to avoid receiving the inspections in order not to be fined.
By analyzing the age distribution of scooters receiving regular inspections and their rate of not meeting the standard, scooters not meeting the standard emit higher concentrations of pollution with their higher ages. Totally, vehicles aged more than 10 has a rate going beyond 16.29% of failing to pass the inspection. This figure is already above 15.46% which is the average rate of vehicles failing to pass the regular inspection throughout the whole Pingtung county. This result shows the importance of reinforcing regular inspections and maintenance on aged vehicles. Therefore, the future work should either focus on reinforcing the implementation of regular inspections on aged vehicles and the promotion, or encourage vehicle owners to replace the aged with the new ones. By this way, the rate of vehicles receiving regular inspections can be upped and the emission of pollutants can be reduced as a whole.
