| description | The purpose of this study is to analyze whether the ecological footprint (EF) of Taipei residents differs between districts. In this study, EFs of residents of 12 districts in Taipei were calculated from the bottom-up approach using 445 questionnaires. The EF consists of six categories, and this study focuses only on the carbon footprint and the footprint of the built-up lands. The personal carbon footprint for Taipei residents is 0.0458 gha. The top five districts with the highest personal daily water footprint are Nangang, Wanhua, Neihu, Beitou and Xinyi. The top five districts with the highest daily carbon footprint are Xinyi, Wanhua, Beitou, Nangang and Shilin. The five districts with the highest daily EF are Xinyi, Wanhua, Beitou, Shilin and Nangang. The socioeconomic background of the respondents does not relate to the size of the water footprint and ecological footprint. Moreover, there is no statistical correlation between the individual’s daily water footprint and daily EF. The socio-economic background of the respondents does not exhibit correlations with the size of the EFs. |
