墾丁國家公園自2005年開始輔導各社區推動一連串生態旅遊行程,以求在社區發展、觀光旅遊及生態保育上能夠取得平衡。在這脈絡下,里德社區發展協會運用獨特族群歷史、生態環境資源所形構的地方感加入生態旅遊場域中,其中也蘊含著各式各樣人與非人間的互動模式。不同於過往國家公園生態保育論述中,將人排除在外的自然資源保護方式,生態旅遊的出現確實重新連結了人與非人之間的關係。但在發展過程中也面臨到迎合遊客期待而改變生態地景,或是過多遊客帶來的環境破壞等無可預期的環境衝擊。面對環境衝擊帶來的影響,除了國家在法律規範針對環境停損點的作法外,地方居民也自有一套用以調節人與人、人與環境間關係模式的策略與環境底限,而這也在無形之中建構出一種國家治理下介於人與非人間的公共性。
Since 2005, Staffs of Kenting National Park have started promoting a series of ecotourism to achieve a win-win negotiation to reach the three goals, community development, tourism and ecological conservation. In this context, members of Lide Community Development Association participated in this field of ecotourism by their unique ethnic history and sense of place, which also contains a variety model of interaction between human and non-human. Different from the ecological conservation discourse presented by Kenting National Park which reject human being, the work of ecotourism does re-link the relationship between human and non-human. Therefore, they are facing the unexpected environmental challenge. For example, the change of eco landscape while achieving the expect of tourists and the damage to environment with tourist overload. To Face the impact from environment, besides the environmental stop-loss point by national laws, the residents acknowledge the environment limit and develop their own strategies to coordinate the relationship mode of human-human and human-environment. They then uncounsciously construct the publicity between human and non-human from governance.
