The Two day-off weekend created an obvious increase in the rate of local tourist which expands the development of the Taiwanese tourism market. Most of the different type of activities in tourism will have an impact of affecting the environment, with most of the activities resulting in irreversible damage to the environment. Therefore managing the need to satisfy the need of the tourist situation is a great challenge, yet at the same it is also necessary to maintain the perfectness of the environmental state and tourism resource. The main goal of this study is to use the environmental information collected from the Sichong river hot spring area as the foundation for the investigation. First we use time sequence pattern to estimate the future tourist growth rate of Sihchong river hot spring area. At the same time we have to estimate the local ecological capacity in order to estimate the most suitable tourist rate of Sihchong river hot spring area in the future follow by drawing up a method for improvement. This research indicates continuous increase in the future tourist rate by using Seasonal-Auto-Regressive Integrated Moving Average Model. Based on the research targeting the Sichong river hot spring area relating to the estimation of the carrying capacity, the maximum burden of activity is 100,000 people per day. The maximum transportation capacity for the number of tourist is 55,000 people. The maximum amount of hot spring water can provide for 6,700 people and the daily hot spring spa capacity is 12,000 people. The limitation factor for the development of Sichong river hot spring area lies in the allowable water usage rate, thus making this area bearable for carrying capacity.
