| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立臺北科技大學 === 建築與都市設計研究所 === 104 === Global climate change has impacted river basin environments. The relevant issues, therefore, have been incorporated into the process of national spatial planning. On the other hand, wetlands have been improperly used in the past in spite of their significant ecological value. After the promulgation of the Wetland Conservation Act in Taiwan, the government declared that wise use should be the objective of wetlands planning. Wetlands planning is closely related to the theory of “Space continuity of river basins” and requires multifaceted consideration. The objective of this study, therefore, is to explore the relationship between river basin governance and wetlands planning. As for the scope of research, the Tam-sui River Basin has been selected as the subject matter of this study, considering its high level of development and population density. Research has been made, in the meantime, on 11 important wetlands of the Country, aiming to explore the relationship between wetlands conservation and utilization. Literary review has been conducted to understand the theories of climate change, river basin governance and wetlands planning. A case study has been made on issues relating to the Tam-sui River Basin, so as to build up the framework for expert questionnaires. With respect to the research results, the Analytic Hierarchy Process （AHP） has been adopted as an instrument for decision making. Scholars and experts in related disciplines were invited to assist completing the questionnaires and to establish relative weights. The ultimate purpose of the wetlands planning for the Tam-sui River Basin is to achieve wise use of the lands. The top priority, therefore, should be given to habitat maintenance and on the impact of development behaviors on current environmental status. The results of the research suggest that, a reasonable resource allocation should be made between the conservation of wild animals/plants and the wetlands development, so as to achieve a good balance between conservation and utilization. Ecological engineering methods should be adopted to reduce the impact of the development behaviors on wetlands, thereby fulfilling the ultimate purpose of wise use.
