摘要

地球上的水資源有限，在這瞬息萬變的時代，如何解決環境問題是目前國人及政府，甚至是全人類所要面對的嚴肅課題。全球目前所面臨之環境問題例如：水污染、臭氧層破洞、空氣污染、全球暖化、酸雨等問題。本研究以法實證研究及質性研究方式訪談環保稽查人員，從該人員的視野去探究水污染防治法自2015年2月4日修法迄今，事業單位是否會因本法罰則提高，而減少水污染事件發生，另外再從法院判決案例中探討本法修法之必要性，及探討違反水污染環境犯罪之違法態樣等。經由研究中發現受訪者均贊同本法罰則提高，而且也因罰則提高，對於水污染環境犯罪會有嚇阻的效果，從修法迄今雖僅有一年多，透過統計數據顯示，我國目前水污染之裁罰件數確實有明顯下降，惟往後是否也會有持續改善，仍待時間的考驗。隨著立法者的重視及民眾對環境的關注，期盼未來臺灣的環境犯罪將會下降，提升環境生活品質。

The water resource on Earth is limited. In this rapidly changing era, environmental problems are serious issues for our citizens and government, and even all mankind to resolve. The current global environmental problems include: water pollution, the ozone hole, air pollution, global warming, acid rain and other issues. In this study, we use Empirical Legal Studies and qualitative research method to interview the environmental inspectors, and to investigate Water Pollution Control Act from their point of views. The research time window stated from the amending of Water Pollution Control Act on February 4, 2015 to date. We discussed whether the water pollution incidents were reduced because of the increased penalties. Court ruling cases were also studied to determine the necessity of law amending. The result shows that the interviewees agreed with the act of increasing the penalty. And this penalty increasing can effectively suppress water pollution have environmental crimes. Since the amending of the Water Pollution Control Act, statistics data shows that the amount of water pollution penalty cases in our country were significantly decreased. Though, whether there will be continued improvement of this issue in the future is uncertain and awaits to be proved.
