生態博物館的概念強調環境、居民、與遊客,與生態旅遊的概念相似,本研究嘗試以七股地區台十七線以西爲例,以生態博物館的概念將七股地區規劃爲生態博物館,規劃重點在於整合現有環境資源以達成生態博物館理念,並善用原有資源、減少新的開發,捨棄傳統生態博物館以人工建築物爲核心館的方式,而以七股地區的潟湖作爲意象核心,並依據七股地區的環境特性,區分「生態」、「產業」與「人文資源」面向,各規劃一適合之衛星館,以分攤缺少核心館而缺乏的硬體功能。再依據研究區之生態、產業、與人文資源,規劃三條套裝的生態旅遊遊程路線,藉以讓遊客得以有所依循,可在有限的參訪時間內,參考此三條套裝路線深化其旅遊體驗,並得以引導遊客保護七股當地環境,減少旅遊發展帶來的環境衝擊。
Concepts of ecomuseum emphasized on environments, communities, and visitors are similar with concepts of Ecotourism. In this study, we attempted to plan the Chi-Gu Area as an ecomuseum using ecomuseum concepts. The environmental resources were integrated in this planning to improve resource efficiency and reduce tourism development within the Chi-Gu Area. Lagoons are famous natural resources in Chi-Gu area. Therefore, lagoons which substituted for a traditional core museum were planned a core image in the Chi-Gu ecomuseum. Furthermore, three tour packages based on ecotourism concepts were planned to introduce the local characteristics of Chi-Gu ecomuseum for visitors. The tour packages can deepen visitor experiences and protect local environments in a limited travel time of visitors.
