碩士 / 大葉大學 / 工業工程與科技管理學系碩士在職專班 / 98 / Recently, there is a popular style of tour called 'ecotourism' about exploring the natural and low developed ecological environment, e.g. ‘coastal country’, raises in Taiwan. It emphasizes deep experiences about unique nature as well as ambient culture which are quite educational in ecology. In order to understand the influence to coastal country as well as the relevant restoration plans on it induced by improper management of ecotourism, it is necessary to seek the possible factors such as in environmental scenario, ecological scenario, noise scenario, garbage scenario, causing the environmental impacts. The goal of this research is to apply specific questionnaire investigation, e.g. Delphi technique, to probe into impact factors induced by improper designing of the ecotourism in ecotourism. Through the questionnaire applied to residents and tourists the real situation of environmental impacts can be evaluated at Wong-Kong, too. Combined with relevant weights from expert questionnaire the importance-seriousness ranking has been done for each impact factors.
The relevant weight of those impact factors should be analyzed to offer the suggestion for planning and executing ecotourism project in the future and avoiding unnecessary interference to the nature. The results by assessed questionnaire show that experts are more worrying about the population impacts on essential environment of coastal country. In Taiwan the highly density of population within a small area can always induce interference between nature and human spaces. Without proper buffer zone the coastal environments are quite easy to be destroyed by population. Besides, invasion of the alien species, disconnection of habitats and loss of the characteristic of aboriginal town-ship are major impact factors. The evaluation results show that tourists concern mostly about the impacts from garbage pollution and physical landscape influence. Besides, residents concern mostly about other factors. In this study the weight of impact for those factors are evaluated to facilitate the priority consideration for proper planning of ecotourism at Wong-Kong area.
