政府為保育溫泉資源，將溫泉產業導向合法及永續經營，訂定溫泉法並從94年7月施行，政府確保溫泉資源之有效開發利用，統一分配水源，將溫泉產業納入溫泉法管理。本研究依據溫泉法規所規定溫泉取供事業之規範，再加以蒐集台灣已成立溫泉取供事業之地區相關因子條件，以因子尺度評估法評估谷關溫泉區成立溫泉取供事業之可行性。經由溫泉資源開發條件、土地利用條件及實質環境條件三個面向考量，進而選出七項因子進行評估，包括「地質條件」、「構造特性」、「溫泉露頭(井)水溫水量」、「環境敏感度」、「交通便利性」、「取供系統設施可開發腹地」與「開發程度」等，以利於進行評估。本研究將谷關溫泉區進行七項因子評估後顯示，該溫泉區總得分為25分，再進行比對台南市與苗栗縣成立溫泉取供事業之七項因子，顯示谷關溫泉區較具優勢為取供周邊使用腹地、交通便利性與開發程度等三因子，其餘則略差於兩縣市條件，但仍屬成立溫泉取供事業之高可行性範圍。最後經由本研究結果顯示，將溫泉區進行溫泉取供事業之條件評估，進而成立溫泉取供事業可有利於該溫泉區溫泉水源之保育與觀光事業發展之效益。 To protect spring recourse, the government leads spring industry to become a sustainable development and designate the Hot Spring Law since July 2005. To make sure spring recourse is developed and used effective, the government distribute the source of water and manage in accordance with the Law of Spring.In this study, based on norms of hot spring supply utilities to integrate Taiwan's case has been established. Use factor-scale method to assessment building the supply utilities in KuKuan hot spring area. Considerations hot spring resource development conditions, land use conditions and environmental conditions for supply utilities. Seven factors evaluated, including "geological conditions", "structural features", "hot spring outcrop (well) water temperature", "environmental sensitivity", convenient transportation", "supply system facilities can be developed hinterland" and "level of development". This study evaluated the results show the Kukuan hot spring area score of 25 points, compared to Tainan City and Miaoli County of the supply utilities. The Kukuan hot spring area better conditions include the "Supply surrounding the use of the hinterland", "transportation convenience." and "degree of development". The first four geological conditions are slightly worse than the two counties, but it is still feasible to establish a high range of spa supply undertakings.
