在政府為創造地方特色及城市意象，並開闢觀光資源以強化經濟發展的前提下，各地方政府紛紛利用本身特色開發獨特的觀光景點，經過這幾年的發展，各地也發展許多具有獨特性的觀光資源，對於地方財政及形象挹注許多。因此，高空纜車便是在這種以發展觀光為主要目的所產生的政策。高雄市政府是否建設跨港高空纜車，其本質上乃一兼顧「促進觀光及經濟發展」與「降低生態、文化及環境影響」之多目標決策問題。本研究以社會判斷理論（Social Judgment Theory, SJT）為理論基礎，應用社會判斷理論，以高雄市興建跨港高空纜車為例，針對以訪談調查所獲得之關鍵決策變數予以實施SJT 問卷，明確檢視各決策參與者間所反應之認知衝突程度，作為提出政府部門面對類似爭議公共事務時，擬定相關政策與應變之參考。研究結果顯示，在安全性方面，各決策群體的重視程度均高；在營運效益方面，環保團體、政府官員及民意代表的重視程度高於一般民眾；在環境保育方面，環保團體稍微高於其他團體。總體而言，安全性的變異係數最低，表示各決策群體對於安全性的歧見最低，而環境保育的變異係數最大，表示各決策群體對於環境保育的歧見較大。 Trigged with the democratic movements, Taiwan’s society had evolved in the past 15 years that citizen had more opportunities to participate in public policy decisions.
