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 examine the feedback and opinions from scholars, government agencies, environmental groups and the public regarding the indicators for sustainable developments in Taiwan. The data gathered from effective questionnaires were entered into a computer, and the statistics were analyzed with Microsoft Excel. This study derived the relative weights of individual factors and criteria, and summarized the list in order to identify the common perspectives. It is hoped that the results can serve as a reference for the government in promoting sustainable developments in Taiwan. This study screened effective questionnaires with consistency tests, so as to control results reliability. A paired comparison as a part of the AHP procedures was conducted to determine the individual relative weights between the criteria. It is hoped that the research findings can serve as a reference to government agencies. The conclusions are as follows: 1. Regarding the assessment factors, all the respondents think that the most important ones are “environments”, “societies” and “economies”. 2. Under the assessment factor “environments”, the key criteria, in order of importance, are “environmental management”, “energy efficiency and carbon reductions”, and “biodiversity”. 3. Under the assessment factor “societies”, the key criteria, in order of importance, are “health”, “life”, “welfare”, and “city/rural culture”. 4. Under the assessment factor “economies”, the key criteria, in order of importance, are “production”,“governance”, “technology”, and “involvement”. 5. Among the 12 criteria, the top five (in terms of weights) are “health”, “environmental management”, “production”, “life”, and “governance”.
