Abstract

Coast Guard Administration (CGA), an agency intermingles jurisdiction over both coastal and oceanic affairs, was established on February 1, 2000. CGA is in charge of harbor security check, resolving fishery conflict, investigating smuggling, and illegal immigration or emigration on various outlying islands, including Kinmen, Mazu, Penghu, Pengjiayu, Guishandao, Xiaoliuqiu, Ludao and Lanyu. To supply livelihood materials, including drinking water, rice, and oil, for those officers station on different outlying islands, becomes a critical issue. This research is to explore and assess the model of supply of livelihood material to those outlying islands via Integer Linear Programming, a sub-kind of linear programming. By calculating and fitting an optimally supplying model, this research expects that such supplying model can decrease the budget or cost of supply and improve the quality of livelihood materials for the stationing officers on outlying islands.
