Ministry of Interior statistics demonstrate an
annually declining birth rate in Taiwan, from 2.44% in 1979
to 0.96 in 2004.
Despite governmental attempts to address this
issue through various programs, the declining trend has
continued at an accelerated rate.
For instance, the number of annual births
significantly declined by 206,999 - from 1979 to 2004.
A declining population will adversely
impact all facets of society, including education, labor force
and resource allocation.

Based on the above, we should develop an optimal model
based on a self-adaptive hybrid genetic algorithm (SAHGA), non-
adaptive hybrid genetic algorithm (NAHGA), and simple genetic algorithm
(SGA), capable of devising an effective policy aimed at mitigating
declines in population, by maintaining the annual birth rate at above 0.5%.
To do so, a special committee of academics can be
organized, comprising mathematicians, economists, physicians, chemists,
and governmental authorities. The performances of eight different test
functions, including uni-modal, multi-modal, and constrained optimization
problems can then be compared by using a self-adaptive hybrid genetic
algorithm (SAHGA), non-adaptive hybrid genetic algorithm (NAHGA),
and simple genetic algorithm (SGA).

As anticipated, by incorporating the use
of SAHGA, NAHGA, and SGA, the proposed
optimal model can provide a feasible strategy for
mitigating the declining birth rate.
In addition to providing a valuable
reference for population policies, the proposed
method can alleviate concerns over labor shortages
in Taiwan and overseas.

Civil engineering associations lack
adequate management skills to remain competent
in the modern era.
The scope of the civil engineers daily
tasks is increasingly diminished,
with less than 5% of all
occupations belonging to civil engineering.
Consequently, the prestige and
value of the civil engineering profession is on the
decline.

Based on the above, we should develop a strategic
model to enhance the goal management competency of civil
engineers.
To do so, a goal management committee can
be established. The means by which board members are
elected can then be improved. Next, progress can be made
regarding opinions on the election. Additionally, opinions
regarding goal management can be discussed freely. Moreover,
forecasted goals can be debated. Furthermore, annual goals
can be established. Also, the feasibility of how goals are
executed can be examined. Member satisfaction can be
assessed as well. Finally, effectiveness of the proposed
strategic model can be evaluated.

As anticipated, the proposed strategic
model can help civil engineers to establish goal
management skills,
further advancing the civil engineering
profession.
