On the ecological environment aspect, inhabitants suspect tourism policy mostly caused the difficulties to book flights. In addition, dissatisfactions toward garbage disposal, environmental protection, and Build–operate–transfer (BOT) in Kinmen County are controversially accelerating inhabitants’ severe doubt among living conditions. On the other hand, residents regard living safety, social welfare, and convenient public transportation system as the most satisfied factors on social security aspect.
