Selection and Operation of Beach Degradation Indicators--A Case Study of Dingliao village, Yilan / 海灘劣化之評估研究--以宜蘭蘇澳頂寮里海灘為例

碩士 / 國立臺灣師範大學 / 地理學系 / 98 / A Beach offers variety of functions such as buffering the coast, providing habitats for the living things and holding a great place for human recreational and economic activities. As the functions of a beach do not work regularly or the functions have been weakened, this beach and its surrounding area indeed may have been in the process of degradation. In Taiwan, numerous beaches are degraded by natural and artificial factors in different dimensions and degrees of degradation. In order to distinguish whether a beach is degrading and the reasons of how these beaches degrade, different temporal references have to be reviewed to establish beach degradation indicators. The indicators operated in Dingliao Village, Yilan include coastal evolution, artificial constructions and the volume and source of beach litter. Furthermore, beach user perceptions are also investigated in order to find out how beach degradation affects them which include local resident and beach visitors. These indicators are significant for the future assessment of a sustainable beach development.
