Description
Summary:碩士 === 東海大學 === 景觀學系 === 93 === In recent years, conception of sustainable development and contemplation of environmental ethics have brought up notice of ecological and educational issues of campus planning. Fostering ecological campus, green school, and sustainable campus has become the significant policy and task. Because of measuring executing results of plans and projects related to sustainable development in campus surroundings. Constructing the indicators of evaluating condition and quality of environmental ecology becomes prioritizing consideration. Otherwise, due to the boom of domestic higher education, the scale of university campus has increased growing into vital landscape resources of urban environment and essential pieces of developing biodiversity in urban area. Consequently, if the ideas of ecological planning could exactly execute and reflect on university campus, there will come out certain benefits to maintain the stability of the whole urban ecosystem. Therefore, the research targets campus environment of the university. After researching potentialities and limitations of composing environment of Biodiversity, these data can assist to build the ecological evaluation Indicator system so that the research has the basement to do an empirical Study. By using workflow of constructing index and relative research method, the research builds an evaluation indicator system, consisting of three layers. The target layer is “Improving ecological servicing function of nature environment of university campus”. The first layer includes “reservation of the environment resources“, “protection of the ecological basement“, “construction of the ecological network“, and “maintaining harmony of the surroundings“. The second layer includes “water retention capacity“, “plant species diversity “, “area “, “land use pattern of surroundings “, and so forth. (Totally 20 items) According to evaluating results of the empirical study, the level of achievement on four aspects in Tunghai University in order are “reservation of the environment resources“, “protection of the ecological basement“, “construction of the ecological network“, and “maintaining harmony of the surroundings“. In addition, reflecting each comprehensive weighted level of achievement on the target, the level of achievement approaches to 70%. The result explains that Tunghai University makes some influences on improving and sustaining quality of service in ecosystem. The result also points out potentialities and limitations on constructing environment wit biodiversity of the study site. Aspects of potentiality are: (1) having functions of becoming habitats, source and sink. (2) the significant part of constructing urban ecological network. Aspects of limitation and improvement are: (1) vegetation lacks technique of ecologicl green construction. (2) lack of hydrological habitats. (3) emergency of developing artificial facilities. (4) land use of adjacent surroundings is mainly residential areas and industrial zones, in addition, completed area of development is gradually expanding. By operating empirical study and discussing related results from evaluations, the research can further confirm possibility of the indicator system. The result of research indicates the main points of improving are: (1) reducing the difficulty of writing questionnaires and rate of abandoned questionnaires. (2) avoiding subjective judgments of dividing evaluation criteria and evaluating method. Moreover, suggestions are: (1) integrating indices, such as educational, humanistic, social, and economic aspects, to strength completeness and preciseness of indices. (2) enlarging application of ANP to campus’s decision making related to projects of construction.
