碩士 / 開南大學 / 觀光與餐飲旅館學系 / 101 / Our terrestrial survey had been done at six different kinds of vegetation types at North Coast from 2010 to 2011. At the end of the study, a total of 767 species in 160 families of plants including 18 endemic species in 13 families, were discovered and most of them were in Shitou Mountain Park. We also accumulated 113 different species of butterflies in the major 5 families and the largest amount of butterflies can be seen in Shitou Mountain Park and Laomei, particularly in spring and fall.Furthermore, 231 species in 63 families of birds were recorded during the study years, and seasonal migratory ones took over 60% of them from March to May and from August to October. For bird-watching, Jinshan and CingShui study areas are highly recommended because of the most abundant numbers and species of birds. Moreover, Sanzhi is the most important night roosting site for the 2nd-level conservation subspecies Crested Myna, Acridotheres cristatellus, with the maximum number, 660, the largest population known in Taiwan.
After analysis of 189 eco-tours collected from websites or Facebook of National Parks, National Scenic Areas, National Forest Recreation Areas, and nonprofit organizations in 2011 to 2012, we found that wildlife-watching tours took 78%. The other important information of those tours were most of them held in mountainous and coastal areas, 61.9% one-day trip, 54% self-driving, 56% interpretation guiding held by nonprofit organizations, 60% of them with the carry-capacity limitation , and over 90% with tour guides.
On the basis of the natural resources surveyed and eco-tours analyzed, we designed 3 types of one-day trips. They are Theme eco-tours, Seasonal eco-tours, and Combined eco-tours. The first Theme ones are based on natural resources, such as birds, butterfly, and plants. Secondly, Seasonal eco-tours will be adjusted to seasonal changes of weather, environment difference, and timing of animal movements. The last one, Combined eco-tour, which people can operate in coordination with traditional cultural festivals, and leisure activities. Our results and designs may provide references of sustainable ecotourism development for the governments, nonprofit organizations and ecotourism agents.
