碩士 / 國立澎湖科技大學 / 服務業經營管理研究所碩士在職專班 / 101 / As a response to the Army’s planning of all-volunteer military system and maintaining of their combat capability for national defense, it is a very important and pressing need to evaluate the influences and effects of the optimal transportation mode on the front-line combat zone on the offshore lands of Taiwan. This study utilizes the qualitative and then the quantitative research designs from related literature, explores the evaluation factors and criteria of offshore island transportation, selects the regional transportation service officers and relevant staff in the transportation plan, carries out the qualitative research by the modified Delphi Technique, and constructs the measuring dimensions and evaluative criteria. The front-line offshore islands (Kinmen, Matzu, Penghu) guarding the Taiwan Strait is the main scope of the research, and the quantitative survey by AHP (Analytic Hierarchy Process) questionnaire is conducted for the basic operational units, with consideration of the difference between the national defense decision-making need and the basic level logistics and transportation demand for ocean shipping.
This study finds that based on the evaluation plan and the results of AHP questionnaire, the transportation by the Army’s warships takes priority because the self-reliant transportation provides a good offshore island shipping service in a short transit time, on reliable schedule and by the professionals of the armed forces. In respect of the measuring dimensions, related literature, expert groups and offshore island military units give priority to the timing for the reason that the timing is the key to either the civilian commercial economy or the military transportation. Moreover, this article also finds that related literature, experts and basic level military units have different perspectives on the evaluative criteria owing to their different views of economy (strategic planning), resources (military budget), hierarchies (managers, planners, demanders) and port facilities (military investments).
