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,
adversely impacting all facets of society, including
education, labor force and resource allocation.
Therefore, this work describes 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%.

A special committee of academics is 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 are then
compared by using a self-adaptive hybrid genetic algorithm
(SAHGA), non-adaptive hybrid genetic algorithm (NAHGA),
and simple genetic algorithm (SGA).
Analysis results indicate that, by incorporating the use of
SAHGA, NAHGA, and SGA, the proposed optimal model
provides 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.

associations lack adequate management skills to remain
competent in the modern era. Consequently, the scope of
the civil engineers daily tasks is increasingly diminished,
with less than 5% of all occupations belonging to civil
engineering, explaining why the prestige and value of the
civil engineering profession is on the decline.
Therefore, this work presents a strategic model to enhance
the goal management competency of civil engineers.
A goal management committee is established. The means
by which board members are elected is then improved.
Next, progress is made regarding opinions on the election.
Additionally, opinions regarding goal management are
discussed freely.

Moreover, forecasted goals are debated. Furthermore,
annual goals are established. Also, the feasibility of
how goals are executed is examined. Member
satisfaction is assessed as well. Finally, effectiveness
of the proposed strategic model is evaluated.
Simulation results indicate that the proposed
strategic model can help civil engineers to establish
goal management skills, further
advancing the civil engineering profession.
