碩士 === 朝陽科技大學 === 環境工程與管理系碩士班 === 100 === This study applied Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) to review the importance of criteria for the promotion of wind energy policies based on the feedback from scholars, government agencies, environmental groups and the general public. Through a two-stage questionnaire survey and analysis, this study aimed to find the most important and share perspectives. The findings could provide a reference to the government in the promotion of wind energy policies. A list of relevant assessment factors were established on the basis of literature reviews. A questionnaire was designed with Likert 5-point scale, and the data were analyzed. Finally, this study established a total of 16 key issues with the highest means as the key criteria, and formulated the hierarchy of the wind energy policies accordingly. It also produced a questionnaire based on the relative weights derived with AHP. After retrieving expert questionnaires, this study conducted consistency test to screen the valid questionnaires in order to control the reliability of the results. Pairwise comparison of hierarchical analysis was conducted to obtain the relative weights among the criteria, for constructing the weight system and providing effective information for related units. The analytical findings of this study are shown below: 1. At the level of evaluation, the overall priority sequence suggested by experts is: “economic incentives”, “technical research and development”, “policies aspect” and “educational promotion”. 2. At the level of “economic incentives”, the overall priority sequence suggested by experts is: “the government’s favorable purchase of wind power”, “tax breaks or preferences for wind power industry”, “to study the innovative service model of wind turbines and create business opportunities” and “expansion of international market”. 3. At the level of “technical research and development”, the overall priority sequence suggested by experts is: “prior implementation of items with mature techniques and economic benefits”, “R&D of off-shore wind power technique”, “improvement of wind power saving technique”, “patents for wind power products”. 4. At the level of “policies aspect ”, the overall priority sequence suggested by experts is: “the government’s active development of green energy industry”, “low-carbon and low-pollution energy supply and consumption”, “increase of the wind power percentage in total power supply” and “reduction of the dependency on fossil energy and imported energy”. 5. At the level of “educational promotion”, the overall priority sequence suggested by experts is: “to provide complete wind power education information and resources”, “to construct energy education plans according to local characteristics”, “implementation of international exchange and cooperation of wind power education”, “wind power educational promotion and activities”. 6. The criteria with the top five weights are “the government’s favorable purchase of wind power”, “tax breaks or preferences for wind power industry”, “the government’s active development of green energy industry”, “prior implementation of items with mature techniques and economic benefits” and “R&D of off-shore wind power technique”.
