碩士 / 國立體育大學 / 休閒產業經營學系 / 107 / The objective of this study was to understand the current and future development of kayaking on the east coast of Taiwan, the scope of this study is focused on Dong-ao Bay, Yilan County. By studying the development of kayaking in this area we are able to explore factors that affected the development of the sport in the past and affect it at present. To achieve the aforementioned objective, we used literature analysis and semi-structured in-depth interviews, the interview subjects are seven legal kayaking operators from a list provided by the Yilan County Government and one government management personnel.
The study results show as following:
(1) Dong-ao Bay’s kayaking development can be divided into three stages, the budding period, the development period, and the rapid development period. Very few people were involved with the sport during the budding period (1976-2011) and kayaking mainly took the form of individuals or small groups, the scale of kayaking development during the budding period was not large; The development period (2011-2016) showed a larger sport development scale, comprehensive sport procedure and content was developed during this period; The third rapid development stage (2016 to now) shows a large development scale and took on a commercial form, commercialization and competition have intensified, thereby driving growth in the industry.
(2) Factors that affect the development of kayaking on the east coast of Taiwan can be discussed in two parts, the external social power and internal development factors. External social power is composed of three affecting factors, government, economics, and culture; Analysis shows that internal development factors include personnel training, organization management, legality, and industry competition.
(3) Future kayaking development strategy on the east coast of Taiwan requires both external and internal improvement strategies.
We suggest the following recommendations based on the aforementioned study results:
(1) When setting laws and policies, government agencies must consider whether the laws and policies are appropriate, whether these laws and policies are based on long-term development, whether the management agency has professional competence, and whether recommendations from professionals have been considered.
(2) In a competitive market, kayak promotion groups must provide better services, quality, and professional skills, standardized conventions and handling measures must be set up between groups for group members to follow; a certification system for legal operators and coaches must be established to maintain the development of kayaking.
(3) Follow-up research can explore recent overall developments in Taiwan’s kayaking, comparing Taiwan’s kayaking development to that of kayaking in other countries, and the benefits/feasibility of integrating kayaking into local education, studies such as these can further the development of kayaking in Taiwan.

Key Words: Eastern coast of Taiwan, Yilan Dong-ao Bay, Kayaking sport, The development of sport, Ocean sport.
