Section 11.1Briefly describe the community and its historical development

Located in the northern part of Taiwan, the Jinshan District of New Taipei City is close to the Pacific Ocean and the Taiwan Strait. The area is 79.21 square kilometers and the old name was "Jinbaoli" (transliteration from the Pingpu Tribe). As Datun Mountain located in the area, rich in sulfur, Jinshan was called "the land of sulfur mining" in ancient books.In 1920, Jinbaoli was renamed "Jinshan Village", later renamed "Jinshan Township, Taipei County". On December 25, 2010, the administrative level was upgraded to "Jinshan District, New Taipei City", divided into 15 boroughs with population about 22,200.Jinshan plain is composed of Datun hillside and Northern Sulfur creek alluvial plain. Agriculture and fishery are the main industries. In recent years, due to the popularity of sightseeing and leisure culture, Jinshan Scenic Area and Hot Springs attract a large number of tourists, promoting the tourism industry and business development. In particular, there are two nuclear power plants near Jinshan District, although not in the area, influencing the industries and safety herein.With the heavy traffic and economic activities, safety issues are concerned. The superintendent of the only local hospital, National Taiwan University Hospital Jinshan Branch, recommended the safe community concept to the mayor of district office, gaining the agreement to launch Jinshan safe community program in 2012.

health problem in Jinshan. Although the nation-wide and city-wide safety measures and policies are put into practice, not covering the special needs of the local community.Agreeing with the suggestions of the superintendent of National Taiwan University Hospital Jinshan Branch, the Jinshan Mayor organized the safe community promotion committee, including public and private units, schools, neighborhoods, community development associations, and NGOs. The committee is aimed to create a safe and happy Jinshan community. The initial goal is to reduce injury, and the ultimate goal to establish the safety culture, implemented in daily lives.According the injury death statistics of Jinshan, the top 3 death numbers were caused by transportation, suicide and fall. So the working groups of traffic, home safety promotion and intentional injury prevention were set up. In addition, there are 5 schools in Jinshan, the school safety working group joined. In view of two nuclear power plants near Jinshan District and 2011 Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster, a working group of natural & nuclear disasters management founded. Considering the prosperous tourism, the tourism & leisure safety working group was formed.The Jinshan safe community program involves the prevention on unintentional and intentional injury, including 6 safety issues: home safety, school safety, traffic safety, tourism & leisure safety, natural & nuclear disasters management, and intentional injury prevention.

Section 5Indicator 3Programs that target high-risk groups and environments, and programs that promote safety for vulnerable groups;5.1 Identify all high risk groups and describe what is being done to

increase their safety. Groups at risk are often:1. Indigenous people

The indigenous people in Jinshan District is very few (about 100), not yet to promote safety project

2. Low-income groupsThe rate of low-income households in Jinshan District is very low (about 1.98%), not yet to promote safety project

3. Minority groups within the community, including workplacesThere were about 500 immigrants in Jinshan District. They have become the high-risk target because of the linguistic and cultural barriers that make them more risky in adapting to local life.We have planned a care project for foreign spouses—trained volunteers visit their home for safety check and provide life


adaption assistance. We also conduct community activities, inviting families to participate in every year.

4. Those at risk for intentional injuries, including victims of crime and self-harm

According to the statistics of reported domestic violence cases between January 2013 and April 2014, there were 14 cases in Jinshan District. 5 of them were immigrant resident cases (36%); much higher than the proportion of population (2.4%). According to the statistics collected, female immigrant residents caught in domestic violence requires our immediate attention. We develop the safety project for them, such as Group Gathering for Immigrant Residents--to provide domestic violence prevention information and community assistance.

5. Abused women, men and childrenAnti-bullying and domestic violence prevention are important education advocacy at schools. In addition to providing mutual respect and gender equality education, the schools set up the counseling mechanism and advocate "113 Protection Line".

6. People with mental illness, developmental delays or other disabilities

For mental illness and suicide reported cases in Jinshan, the Intentional Injury Prevention Working Group members, Jinshan Branch, National Taiwan University Hospital and Jinshan District Health Center, provide case management and referral service, while developmental delays or disabilities get treatment in the Hospital and will be included in safety promotion projects in the future.

9. People at risk for injuries from natural disastersIn Jinshan District, there are threats from landslide and typhoon. The Nuclear and Natural Disasters Management Working Group

has action projects to arrange the disaster relief propaganda and regular disaster prevention drills.

10. People living or working near highrisk environments (for example, a particular road or intersection, a water hazard etc.

The residents living within the landslide-prone area in Jinshan District has got the safety promotion project, as mentioned above.

11. People at risk due to religion, ethnicity or sexual preferences

There were about 500 immigrants in Jinshan District. They have become the high-risk target because of the linguistic and cultural barriers that make them more risky in adapting to local life.We have planned a care project for foreign spouses—trained volunteers visit their home for safety check and provide life adaption assistance. We also conduct community activities, inviting families to participate in every year.

5.2 Give examples of high risk environments1. Describe how risk environments in the community are identified2. Describe prioritized groups and/or Environments3. Are there specific programs for safe environment in the community4. Describe the timetable of the work

Traffic is the main injury type in Jinshan, and the accident-prone road (intersection) is the high-risk environment in this area. Reviewing the A1 traffic accident, A2 traffic accident and the report from the borough leaders and residents, we carried out 21 improvements from 2014.Another high-risk environment for Jinshan District is the Old Street Shopping Area. There is a sizeable amount of tourists in the old street during weekends and holidays. In case of emergency, vendors occupy the roadsides or the rain shelters might block the entrance for ambulances to enter. The Traffic Safety Working Group worked with the Old Street Shopping Area Development Association and vendors to develop the fire safety promotion project. See Annex- P.28-30 for details.


Section 6Indicator 4Programs that are based on the available evidence;

6.1 Describe the evidence-based strategies/programs that have been implemented for different age- groups and environments.Traffic injury prevention is an important part of Jinshan SC Program. The Traffic Safety Working Group takes the actions, including education advocacy, environment improvement and enforcement to carry out various projects.Through the ER injury analysis, we found that the traffic injury cases slightly decreased (2014: 143 cases to 2015: 115 cases). The Top 1 accident-prone intersection (Zhongshan-Zhongxing intersection) in 2014 became the 10th rank in 2015; the traffic incidents decreased from 6 cases to 1 case.


6.2 Has any contacts been established with the ISCSC (International Safe Community Support Centres), WHO CCCSP, other scientific institutions, or knowledgeable organizations about the development and/or implementation of evidence-based strategies? Which ones? What has been the extent of their counsel?Notice! WHO links to evidence- based interventions are found at the end of form A!The development of Jinshan SC Program is based on the 7 indicators of ISCs. We attend the education trainings and conferences held by Taiwanese Community Safety Promotion Center (TCSPC) to know how to promote safety and prevent injury. TCSPC is also served as the consulting unit to support Jinshan SC Program.In addition, we participate in International Safe Communities Network activities and present the results of Jinshan SC Program:˙ 2013--21st ISC Conference (Mexico)˙ 2014--7th Asian ISC Conference (South Korea)˙ 2015--22nd ISC Conference (Thailand)˙ 2017—8th Asian ISC Conference (Iran)


Section 7Indicator 5Programs that document the frequency and causes of injuries;7.1 What local data is used to determine the injury prevention strategies?

For example, registering injuries can be done at hospitals, health Are the descriptions sufficient?

centers, dentists, schools, care of the elderly organizations and the local police.Household surveys can also be used for collection of data about injuries and risk environments and risk situations.Which methods are used in the community?Jinshan District has been collecting the following statistics to analyze and monitor injury issues; the data sources are:1. Public sector information: death statistics (Ministry of Health and

Welfare), traffic accident records (police department), emergency medical service record (fire department), campus injury record (schools), demographics (Jinshan District Household Office).

2. Hospital emergency room injury records.3. Household visit records to collect information on home safety.4. Questionnaire survey: melancholy scale screening, domestic

violence risk, sidewalk use survey.The above information is compiled and analyzed for program implementation.

¤ yes¤ no If no! What is missing:

7.2 Describe how data are presented in order to promote safety and prevent injuries in the community.The Injury Monitoring Team compiles the collected information, and reports to the working groups through regular meetings. According to the injury analysis, we plan, execute and assess the IP/SP projects. The implementations of Jinshan SC Program are posted on the district office website and the borough bulletin boards; the annual injury analysis report will be sent to Health Department, too.


7.3 Describe how the community documents and uses knowledge about causes of injuries, groups at risk and risky environments. How does the community document progress over time?The Injury Surveillance Team regularly analyzes the frequency of injury types and the distribution by gender and age. This helps us set the priority of the injury issues and the target groups; the anti-fall project for the elderly is an example. Finding out the injury locations and causes helps us design programs that effectively


improve high-risk environments and situations, such as improvements in accident-prone intersections.For a short-term project, we take records for the implementation before and after to assess the effectiveness. For a long-term project, the effectiveness and trend depend on the year-based comparison.

Section 8Indicator 6Evaluation measures to assess their programs, processes and the effects of change;8.1 How does your community analyze results from the injury data to

track trends and results from the programs? What is working well and has given you good results. What are the plans to continue? What needs to be changed?We regularly collect and analyze injury data (including the injury records from ER of the hospital, the traffic injury report of police, the household office information, the death statistics from government and the community's questionnaire, etc.). The analysis report is presented on the regular plenary meeting for the working groups as a reference to promote the program. The analysis report includes the type of injury cases, the number of victims, the increase or decrease of the same time and trends.We found that the most effective is the reduction of dog bite injury. The other injuries did not fall significantly, perhaps due to the small population and injury cases in the area. Some changes in the accident-prone intersections for traffic safety demonstrated our efforts. The elderly have improved the muscle strength and balance after participating in anti-fall training classes.Therefore, the continuous projects are traffic safety advocacy, safe way to school, suicide prevention, water safety, public bathhouse safety, anti-fall for the elderly, children's home safety and natural and nuclear disasters education and drill.The projects need to work harder:˙ A safer traffic route for Jinshan High School--because the

community has not reached a consensus yet.˙ Zhongshan pedestrian sidewalk: Seek solutions to persude
