國內因休閒養生之風氣盛行,以及2001年周休二日制的推動,民眾前往溫泉區泡湯來抒壓、養生的休閒活動方式漸趨熱門,雖帶來了經濟收益,卻忽略了溫泉相關產業整體之發展,沒有整體規劃的概念,遂逐漸破壞溫泉區內現有的資源,有鑒於在此現況下,本研究認為必須引進一個新形態的旅遊方式—「生態旅遊」,來改善溫泉區所面臨的窘境。
本研究所建立之溫泉區生態旅遊指標系統,透過德爾菲法,進行專家問卷之穩定度分析及一致性檢定篩選,溫泉區生態旅遊指標系統全數通過篩選,分別為環境、資源、文化、經濟、經營、觀光等6個構面,47個指標。
溫泉區生態旅遊指標之建構,可將溫泉區脆弱且豐富之資源藉由生態旅遊之方式來進行保護,同時亦能將經濟收益回饋給當地溫泉區,不但可維護溫泉區居民的基本生活,防止溫泉區之資源被破壞,更可促進溫泉區生態旅遊之永續發展。 To do SPA in hot spring area is getting popular in Taiwan.
