The Data
1. The data used in this paper are based on statistics available in September 2000.Much of this data has been published in Yearbook of Environmental Protection Statistics, Taiwan Area, the Republic of china. Supplementary data have been taken from other sources as well as from selected national reports and yearbooks.
2. We remove out some issues due to the difficulties in obtaining data.

Normalization
Since most of the units of environmental indicators are different, the values of these indicators are transformed into between zero and one by shifting and scaling.
