碩士 === 國立新竹教育大學 === 環境與文化資源學系碩士班 === 100 === Eco-tourism is one kind of alternative tourism that different as the traditional mass tourism. The purpose of this study is to maintain the unique special natural and humanistic resources, and further to improve local’s quality of life and make the tourism resources can be sustainable used. Taiwan has many natural and humanistic resources that can develop to be the eco-tourism. Most studies of eco-tourism are focused on visitor’s satisfaction, administrative method, environmental impact, and environmental education. However, few studies tried to explore the site selection model of eco-tourism development, but only focus on developing the indicators of the site selection. Lack of the spatial application and analysis, therefore all the indicators can’t to carry out in the map. This study tried to combine the AHP method and GIS software to build one site-selection model of the potential eco-tourism developing area. The New Taipei City in Taiwan was selected to be the empirical study area. First of all, we tried to evaluate the natural and humanistic resources, and then tried to extract the evaluative factor form literature review. Secondly, the factor weights were collected by questionnaire from expert’s evaluation. Thirdly, GIS overlay all the evaluation factors and display the potential eco-tourism developing area in map. The results showed the three areas for eco-tourism potential developing: the ecotone between Tamshui and Bali district, Yehliu area in Wanli district and the Coast in Yanliao. This site-selection model and the results can be the reference to the eco-tourism developing and planning for governmental and recreational sector.
