The Assessment on Stream Leisure Potential of Whitewater Canoeing and Kayaking / 溪河發展輕艇活動遊憩潛力評估之研究

碩士 / 中華大學 / 營建管理研究所 / 97 / Taiwan is an island full of mountains and rivers. The rivers originate in tall mountains, meander through the forest and enter the plain. The rivers themselves and the riverside environment have continued to provide diversified leisure and recreational functions. Nowadays, canoeing and kayaking are gaining in popularity among all of the leisure activities, and are affecting the development and promotion of local economies. This study attempts to analyze and evaluate the potential of developing canoe/kayak activities, based on the evaluation model developed by Huang et al. (2008)[1], which provided an index for evaluating the development of canoeing/kayaking sites on Taiwan rivers. The methods of linear summation and grey relational analysis were used. The aim is to define future operational planning for these activities, and provide a legitimate basis for leisure site development.
Five renowned canoeing/kayaking rivers in Taiwan were used for status investigation, in order to explore their respective leisure value and potential: Wulai-Nanshi Creek, Nantou-Shuili Creek, Kaohsiung- Laonong Creek, Kaohsiung-Zhuokou Creek, and Hualien-Siouguluan River. The results showed that: (1) Of the special site conditions under the four major aspects proposed by Huang et al. (2008)[2], “water quality” and “water temperature” indicated no discriminant validity, and hence were deleted; (2) In terms of the linear summation, overall evaluation indicated that different survey points demonstrated different environmental properties, as well as different potential and values; (3) Based on the analysis, the leisure potential of the five rivers, ranked in descending order, were: Siouguluan River > Zhuokou Creek > Nanshi Creek > Laonong Creek > Shuili Creek.
