碩士 === 國立臺灣海洋大學 === 河海工程學系 === 99 === Abstract The purpose of this study is to establish an overall landscape of high riverbank waterfronts, by improving the overall quality of sustainable and ecological leisure and recreational environments. Improvement measures involve implementing public facilities, attractive waterplay areas, and leisure activities promoting knowledge, wellness, safety, and carbon reduction. This study panoramically foresees future development to enhance the usage of riverside parks along the Keelung River in Taipei City. Through collecting data, reviewing related plans and historical documents, conducting a field survey of existing facility usage, observing user behaviors, and administering a user satisfaction questionnaire, this study considers user needs and opinions regarding riverside parks, the levels of appeal for leisure facilities, and service quality satisfaction. This study recommends improving public dissatisfaction with riverside parks and attracting diverse types of leisure groups by proposing six planned theme attractions to shape the characteristics of each riverside park: 1. Meiti Waterplay Bay; 2. Flora Expo Plaza in Dajia Riverside Park; 3. Rainbow Bridge area in Chengmei Riverside Park; 4. Large-scale flower bed in Caihong Riverside Park; 5. Plant sculpture area in Guanshan Riverside Park; and 6. Adventure area in Heshuang No.21 Riverside Park. For the overall planning of waterfront environments, this study considers relevant factors, such as waterfront facilities, traffic routes, economic systems, typhoon evacuation plans, and subsequent maintenance costs. For combining waterfront landscape and recreational activities, constructive measures are proposed, such as altering embankment skylines, connecting traffic routes, clearing directory systems, promoting leisure tours, upgrading educational characteristics, advancing waterplay activities, improving serviceability, and introducing cultural performances.
