Summary:碩士 === 國立花蓮師範學院 === 生態與環境教育研究所 === 93 === Ecotourism has been increasingly implemented and welcomed in recent two decades. People expect that ecotourism can be a win-win solution to tourism development, livelihood improvement and environmental conservation. Case studies on ecotourism based on community involvement are also increasing. One of the main goals of community-based ecotourism is that local communities can lead their own way and access more opportunities of participation in their local affairs. Besides, the economic benefits for ecotourism development can be a reward to the local community. In recent years, the Fataan Eco-Park in Kuang-Fu, Hualien County has been transferred from traditional agriculture to recreational agriculture and become well-known. However, for the lack of proper mechanism of community participation, many ecological, social-culture and economic problems have been emerged. The goal of the study is to employ SWOT analysis as a framework to investigate the potentials ( interior strength and outer opportunities ) and problems (interior weakness and outer threat ) of the Fataan Eco-Park. Some suggestions based on the findings are made to a more sustainable future of the Fataan Eco-Park.
