Abstract
Kenting National Park is the only national park in Taiwan related to the ocean. There are abundant marine resources, such as diverse coral species, which attracted many kinds of fishes. This coral reef ecosystem is well-known to it¡¦s high productivity, and high recreational value. It attracts millions of tourists every year. For the goal of sustainable development, the coast zone of Nanwan should be managed based on integrated perspectives.
System dynamics is an approach that is used to describe, explore and analyze the procedure, information and the boundary of organizations in complex systems. Through the process of quantitative model simulation and analysis, we could understand the structure and behavior of a system. Such model is good for solving dynamic complex problems with non-linearity, causal circulation, information feedback and time-delay. The coastal zone management in Nanwan involves four intricate components, including the tourism, environment, ecosystem and the management, the complexity of the system has made it suitable to be solved by a system dynamic model. The model was built as a decision support system. According to the nature of the problem, the SD model was divided into four subsystems: social-economic subsystem, environment subsystem, biologic subsystem and management subsystem. To function as a decision support system, a user-interface was built, to allow user interact with the model, alter parameters and run simulates. The result of the simulation can provide good supporting imformation for decision makers.
Four vital variables regarding the management scenarios, in cluding land development, wastewater treatment, fishing restriction, and surcharge fare, are presented to users in the user-interface. Users can adjust those variables and run a simulation to evaluate the impact under different configuration. Based on the current research, some preliminary results were found, such as this area is not suitable for heavy land development, meanwhile, adding wastewater treatment facility, restricting fishing activities, and implementing tourist charge, are useful to mitigate the human impact. As for design and enforcement of management policies it would rely on the experience and ability of the decision maker.
