這篇論文係以個案研究的方式探討台灣發展休閒農場之可行性，論文的主要內容在嘗試回答下列四個問題：一、為什麼要發展休閒農場？二、目前發展休閒農場的現況與問題為何？三、發展休閒農場的可行性為何？未來應如何發展休閒農場？本研究的重要研究結果與建議如下： 　　一、發展休閒農業是未來值得繼續嘗試的方向。 　　二、現行發展休閒農場的方式，不僅無法落實發展休閒農場的理念，也難以達到預期的目標，而且投資報酬率低、風險大，顯示其可行性不高。 　　三、問題之癥結，乃在於限制休閒農場面積必須達五十公頃以上不當所致。因此未來應廢除「休閒農業區設置管理辦法」第五條關於休閒農場面積之限制。 　　最後，作者於此提醒讀者於閱讀本文時，請注意以下幾點： 　　一、文中所指的休閒農場係指五十公頃以上的、大型的農場。 　　二、判斷可行性的標準是依本研究第一章的定義。 　　三、部分結論係依個案研究結果。

The aim of the thesis was to introduce the principles of common agriculture policy and the farming processs of ecological farmer on the farm in the Klatovy region. Furthermore I wanted to point to the legal basis of this kind of business and to other options for possible activity diversification of a farmer due to the agriculture tourism. There are suggested three projects in the thesis that the farmer could ask for within the Rural development programme to extend his business. The first project for building own slaughter would support the partnership principle, the farmer will slaughter stock to other farmers in the neighbourhood. The second project deals with the present production enlargement and ensures the quality of stock life, the third project provides the diversificated activity in agriculture that should give support to enterprise revenues.
