| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立臺灣師範大學 === 環境教育研究所 === 91 === This study aims to explore the viewpoints of Kinmen Islanders on the issues and visions of sustainable development for the local society by the processes of citizen participation and consensus decision making. The Delphi Technique was applied to help local communities identify important issues and define goals of sustainable development. The members of participants in this process were invited from various stakeholders including government officers, conservation groups, school teachers, business corps, tourism organization, land developers, and some individuals. Three times questionnaires survey were sent to these members, and feedbacks of each survey were merged into the following questionnaire.
As the result, twenty-nine important issues of sustainable development on Kinmen Island were identified. It shows that local concerns are more on environment, economic, and social issues, but less on institutional issues which are one of major aspects on national sustainability indicators. The characters of being small island were also reflected on the choice of local issues. According to theses identified issues, members of local participants in this study further contributed their ideas and vision for future sustainable development. In sum, one hundred and forty-two goals were summarized for local sustainable development on this island. In addition, the results show that there are higher consensus in most aspects of goals in improving environmental quality and public infrastructure, but less in regional cooperation which means more exchange with nearby Mainland. The results also indicate that the final selections of local issues and goals were in some aspects similar to global issues on other island regions, but quite different from issues concerned by national sustainability indicators. Based on these findings, suggestions on local sustainability and future studies were recommended.
