碩士 / 康寧大學 / 資產管理與城市規劃研究所 / 99 / With ongoing developments and constructions, the ecological environment has been damaged by humans. It has severely threatened the lives of humans and other living beings. Nowadays, mankind needs to deal with challenges and crises in our environment, and it is urgent to establish an ethical relationship between humans and the natural environment. Meanwhile, the ecological environment can be preserved through National Trust as well. This study aims to discover the difference and relationship between the following issues, the New Ecological Paradigm, cognition of sitting petrochemical industry on tidal land and of the national trust, as well as the environmental actions among Kaohsiung citizens.
The findings reveal that the environmental ethics of Kaohsiung citizens has a strong inclination for eco-centrism with partial belief in Dominant Social Paradigm. The scores on the New Ecological Paradigm scale show significant differences between various levels of income, age, and educational background. When the score gets higher, the willingness to participate in environmental action goes higher, too. The public are more approvable to heavily tax high-pollution industries and more agreeable to limit developments of the petrochemical industry as the score gets higher. Those who prefer the Democratic Progressive Party are more acceptable for the idea that natural assets should be protected and less supportive for developments of nuclear power. As to the political inclination, those who show “no party preference” are more active in the environmental action of “economic consumption” and “citizen participation.” This indicates that environmental action in Taiwan has gone beyond political influences.
Although the public highly approve that natural assets should be protected, the number of people drops when it comes to using National Trust to complete the mission. The researcher speculates that people may consider it is the government’s responsibilities to protect natural assets. Or, they just don’t understand the concept of National Trust.
More than half of the respondents never hear of the case of “Charitable Trust of Loh Tsui Kweh Outfall.” However, if the price is lowered, the majority of people respond that they are willing to subscribe it. That implies environmental action in Taiwan has stepped forward to National Trust. Thus, this study suggests the government should set up a National Trust system to offer protection which natural assets deserve.
