| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立中興大學 === 園藝學系 === 84 === ABSTRACTA Study on the Assessing Model of Selecting Forest-Based
Sites forEcotourismby。hin-Liang Chao In consideration of
rising development of ecotourism in Taiwan andenhancing the
inherence of natural resource system in forest-based sites of
Taiwan, the purpose of this study attempted to establish an
assessing model of "Selecting Forest-Based Sites for
Ecotourism". It was expected that the model would be applied to
develop ecotourism in various naturalrecreation sites in the
future, especially forest-based sites. Analytic Hierarchy
Process(AHP) was adopted as the major method in establishing the
evaluation factors and evaluation indictors of the two-hierarchy
assessment model in this study. The study first reviewed
research papers to choose the suitable evaluation factors. By
analyzing, organizing and considering frequency distribution,
31 evaluation factors about seleting a site for ecotourism were
obtained. Then, a questianneire survey was conducted. After
using factor analysis, six evaluation factors were extracted and
they were the components of the first hierarchy in the
assessment model. Depending on the relationship between
hierarchies and AHP''''''''s requirement, 20 evaluation indictors were
chosen as the secondary hierarchy. Besides, in order to meet
AHP''''''''s requirement, professionals of related fields were invited
to measure the relative weights of the model''''''''s hierarchy factors
and indictors by filling out the questionnaire of pairwise
comparison matrix. Based on the findings, three major
conclusions were drawn as follows：1.The assessment model of
selecting forest-based sites for ecotourism included six
factors, management mechanism, physical environment mechanism,
natural resource potential, cultural resource potential,
fundamental facility and tourism benefit.2.The importance of
the six evaluation factors in sequence was natural resource
potential, management mechanism, physical environment
mechanism, cultural resource potential, tourism benefit and
fundamental facility.3.The result of T-Test showed that there
were very few differences of indicators'''''''' weights between
scholars and government officials. It seemed that they had a
similar attitude toward the selection of forest-based sites for
ecotourism.
