Started from 1993, the Environmental Impact Assessment Act was implemented in Taiwan. Each urban development project is required to pass environmental impact assessment. The purpose of this study is to evaluate current situation of urban development. 21 urban planning areas at Taoyuan County were chosen for this study. Urban Environmental Entropy (UEE) was used as environmental indicator for model assessing. Data analyzed include air and river monitor data from 2007~2009, statistics data achieved from the Department of Accounting and Statistics, Taoyuan County Government. Selected indicators include Pollutant Standard Index (PSI), River Pollutant Index (RPI), heavy metals, total phosphorus and cleared garbage volume per person per day. In addition, standard deviation weighting (SDW) was used for the calculation of each environmental indicator. 21 urban planning areas of Touyuan County include 8 coastal urban areas and 13 city areas were selected for this study. The results show that UEE values for most of the urban areas are negative which implied the improving environmental quality. For coastal urban areas, UEE values in Tsao-Ta and Da-Yuan are the lowest which illustrate the most improved environmental quality. However, Da-Ju exhibits a close to positive UEE value, which can be attributed to agriculture actives and pollutant emission. As for city areas, the lowest UEE value is in Jhong-Li, probably because of the remediation plan of Old-street River and strict inspection of factory emission. On the other hand, Gue-Shan exhibits a positive UEE value which indicates more serious pollution than other cities. The UEE model can be applied to assess other urban planning in the future.
