Summary: | 碩士 === 立德管理學院 === 地區發展管理研究所 === 93 === Chiku Township, Tainan County boasts the exceptionally gifted wetland in Taiwan. However, the proposed development with the priority on Binnan Industrial Park in 1989 caused a great controversy. Due to the experience of development of industrial parks in Taiwan, conservation groups were highly concerned whether, after completion of Binnan Industrial Park, the natural ecology and cultivation environment along the sea can be preserved. Moreover, the development of Chiku manifests the conflicts between ecological conservation and the rights of survival and work of local residents. In the economic downturn conditions of rising unemployment and outward moving of industries, with the anthropocentric thinking model of mainstream values, economic development is still the emphasized unlimitedly. However, individual environmental behavior in Chiku is important to local developments. Therefore, it is important to discuss the individual influences on the development of Chiku from environmental cognition and environmental attitudes.
Chiku residents are the research target in this thesis. From the survey of natural environmental behavioral intents and intents of Chiku individual environmental behavior, genders do not display statistically significant differences on environmental attitudes and hehavrioal intents; participation in environmentalist organizations or groups does; ages, educational attainment, and household incomes make influences on attitudes toward natural environment, environmental attitudes on Chiku, environmental intents on Chiku and general environmental attitudes but not on natural environmental intents.
Regarding the environmental behavioral intents, three environmental attitudes of equality of all things on earth, limited resources and anthropocentrism affect consumption subjectivity in natural behavioral intents. In the Chiku behavioral intent model, it is found that two environmental attitudes of wetland conservation and natural crisis affect political actions while economic development and anthropocentrism affect ecological conservation perspectives.
