摘要

台灣地區之礦業開發因受主、客觀因素影響，均明確顯示出台灣地區礦業資源供需政策需長期規劃的重要性。如何積極有效開發、利用礦產資源以符合經濟發展、民生建設之需求，且需顧及環境維護、自然保育與永續經營的需要，已成為當前重要課題。花蓮縣秀林鄉和平地區為最早提出規劃為礦業專業區，同時也是政府為落實產業東移政策及推動「礦山開採技術之改進與環境保護措施」政策下，所規劃之配合經濟發展，水泥需求不斷增加下之水泥主要供應區。
本研究在探討各種資源與環境經濟模型，進而分析資源、環境與經濟體系之互動關係，並說明各種政府相關政策及措施之潛在衝擊，俾探討政府推動之「產業東移政策」及「礦山開採技術之改進與環境保護措施」政策下其利弊得失。
經探討及以環境成本效益評估方法（environmental benefit cost analysis method）中之市場價值評估法(market valuation method)及趨避行為法分析（averting behavior method）和平礦業開發區之資源開發結果，開發區之礦產資源開發以30年估計其淨現值（net present value）大於零，故本區之礦產資源開發應具有環境經濟效益。

Mining development in Taiwan is influenced by political, social-economical, and technical factors. Therefore it is important that to establish a long term mineral resources development policy. The supply and demand of domestic economical development needs maintain the issues that need to be studied include efficient usage of mineral resources, environmental protection, reclamation as well as sustainable management of mining operations. The target area of this study is located at Heping industry mineral mining district which is also the first mining district been established. The marble production of this area is over 60％ of Taiwan’s domestic supply, and is closely related to Taiwan’s cement, steel and aggregate industry.
The main topics of discussed this study include：
1. Discuss resources and environmental economical models.
2. Analyze the interactions between resources, environment and economics.
3. Evaluate potential impacts of government’s policy and its related measures.
4. Evaluate the impact of government’s industry eastward moving policy, improvement of mining operations and environmental protection policy.
Comparative new methodology and approaches are applied in this study, which includes：
1. Market Valuation Method.
2. Averting Behavior Method
The results obtained in this study shows that thirty-year NPV(net present value) of Heping industry mineral mining district is higher than zero, and the mineral resource development in this area can also obtain environmental economic benefits.
