abstract = {The COVID-19 pandemic has flooded open databases with population-level data. However, individual-level structured data, such as the course of disease and contact tracing information, is almost non-existent in open databases. Publish a structured and cleaned COVID-19 dataset with the course of disease and contact tracing information for easy benchmarking of COVID-19 models. We gathered data from Taiwanese open databases and daily news reports. The outcome is a structured quantitative dataset encompassing the course of the disease of Taiwanese individuals, alongside their contact tracing information. Our dataset comprises 579 confirmed cases covering the period from January 21, to November 9, 2020, when the original SARS-CoV-2 virus was most prevalent in Taiwan. The data include features such as travel history, age, gender, symptoms, contact types between cases, date of symptoms onset, confirmed, critically ill, recovered, and dead. We also include the daily summary data at population-level from January 21, 2020, to May 23, 2022. Our data can help enhance epidemiological modelling.},

abstract = {The aim of this paper is to explore successful paths and potential obstacles for introducing circular buildings to a region new to the strategy of Circular Economy (CE). For this, the process of circular buildings development in Taiwan is analysed. In 2016, the government of Taiwan passed an act that put a focus on CE. Taiwan entered this field with nearly no prior experience. This paper analyses three cases: The Holland Pavilion for the World Flora Expo Taichung; the TaiSugar Circular Village Tainan; and the CE Social Housing Taipei. Interestingly, Taiwan choose the Netherlands as a country for guidance on best practices and the path to implementation. Our analysis focuses on barriers and opportunities found in the initiation, commissioning, and the ongoing development process of these projects. Data is collected through interviews with 30 stakeholders, from government, industries and academia who are involved in the projects. International collaboration is shown to have speeded up the CE building innovation process in Taiwan.},
