Planning for adaptation through policy intervention will speed up the implementation of climate risk management. Taiwan is situated in a region in which 73% of the population living in more than three natural disaster impact zones. How to cope with climate varieties more locally and increase national adaptive capacity becomes an important issue for public and private sectors and actors. To incorporate the concept of risk management into the supportive legislation, plan making, and procedures at different spatial levels across a range of time scales is the adaptation approach in spatial planning system. This paper uses a framework to elaborate how and what types of intervention in planning institution has been adopted or adjusted with case study in Taiwan. Two barriers in the stages of planned adaptation are multilevel governance and land use management. These barriers arise from the existed problems in spatial planning system and affect the effectiveness, efficiency, equity and legitimacy embedded in adaptation decision-making.EnglishopenAccessconferenceObject3129-3142
