Summary: | 碩士 === 國立臺灣大學 === 建築與城鄉研究所 === 103 === Recently, performance management has been applied by public administration for operation evaluation, national parks are not exception. Since 2000, in order to monitor the implementation status of mid-range national park development plan, key performance indicators for national park evaluation system have adopted by the National Development Council. However, due to the difference of policy objectives, key performance indicators are unable to reflect the gap between goals and actual performance. Furthermore, there are data-collection and operating difficulties needed to be solved.
To improve the effectiveness of key performance indicators, this study takes Yangmingshan National Park as the target area for the identification of appropriate indictors. Firstly, this study establishes an evaluation framework to examine the operating problems. And coping with the Law of National Park, related studies of evaluation on protected area are referred.
By means of Focus Group Interview, Depth Interview and the Analytic Hierarchy Process, the restrictions and relative importance are identified. As a result, this study deletes five existing indicators and adds one goal “academic research”. Besides, it also adds five new policy objectives and fifteen performance indicators. Finally, the new evaluation system contains five goals, fourteen policy objectives and thirty performance indicators.
According to survey, it shows that “Environment Protection and Biodiversity “is the most important goal. On the contrary, the least important one is “Recreation and environmental education”. Besides, it is also found that the “Residents friendship “is more important than “Physical environment” management. Finally, it shows that Yangmingshan National Park has achieved pretty good performance in general, however, community involvement and local empowerment are critically needed. In addition, establishing a monitoring system for biodiversity is also needed.
