加拿大海岸地區管理之經驗及其在台灣之應用
Canada's Experience in Coastal Zone Management and it's Application to Taiwan
並列摘要
The objective of coastal zone management (CZM) is to balance and optimize environmental protection, public used and socioeconomic development. Today, the coastal areas in Taiwan are under a heavy pressure of rapid development and incompatible or competing uses. Therefore, foreign experiences in CZM might shed some light on Taiwan’s practices for maintaining the quality of marine environment and conserving its marine resources. Since Canada is heavily dependent on its coastal resources for sustainable development, Canadian CZM experience is believed to be helpful to Taiwan. The purpose of this paper is, thus, to compare the CZM institutions between Canada and Taiwan. Several institutional elements and performance criteria are applied in this comparative study. Based on the limited information and the interviews of a two-week’s visiting mission, the results of comparison demonstrate that both Canada and Taiwan are still in the process of formulating their own CZM system. While Taiwan is still lacking national initiatives in establishing its CZM regime, Canada shows her ambition of playing a leading role in oceans and coastal resource management in the world. However, an integrated and coordinated approach in CZM regime on the national level deserves both nations’ attention in development of their initiatives.
