Summary:碩士 === 台灣首府大學 === 休閒管理學系碩士班 === 101 === The aim of this research is to apply an Analytic Hierarchy Process to help senior high schools in order to develop a model of selecting the suitable leisure farm as the outdoor place for environmental education. First, literature reviews are adopted in this research to find out the suitable evaluative criteria of environmental education to design the first questionnaire. The first questionnaires are filled in and screened by the experts in accordance with a five point Likert Scale. Next, the second questionnaire is designed according to the results from the first questionnaire survey. The research model applies the “Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP)” to determine the relative weights of evaluative criteria, then ranks the alternatives and selects the suitable leisure farm for outdoor environmental education. Additionally, a national vocational senior high school in Tainan City is taken as the model example in this research, and the third questionnaires are filled out by the decision makers of the school to prove how a suitable leisure farm for outdoor environmental education is selected by applying this model. The results indicates that experts think highly of the four major indicators in order are environmental behavior, environmental attitude, environmental awareness, and environmental knowledge. As for the evaluative criteria, the top three major indicators in order are responsibilities for environment, educational action, and relationship between environment and individual mental and physical health. Hopefully, these results will provide a research reference for the decision makers of schools who will be able to apply the model in accordance with distinct environmental aims to select the suitable leisure farm as the outdoor place for environmental education, and some references for other researches.
