Abstract
EIA (Environmental Impact Assessment) is a systematic process that examines the environmental consequences of developmental actions. At the end of 1970s , the Taiwanese government installed the Environmental Impact Evaluation Act (EIEA). However, the effectiveness of EIEA has been under constant criticism. It became clear that an objective evaluation system for EIA itself is needed. To understand the performance of ecological assessment in EIA in Taiwan, we want to clarify 2 questions: 1) What is the performance of ecological assessments in EIA over the last 2 decades in Taiwan? 2) What are the problems in EIA in Taiwan? I used the Delphi expert technique and case study to study the 2 questions. The results of Delphi questionnaire survey showed that the experts’ agree upon most score items. I established, and indicated that 227 of 258 score items were important for environmental survey. Therefore, most of regulations about ecological survey in the EIA are important. Because the characteristics of different taxon group differ, all regulations are not equally essential for each organism. The results of scoring for EIA reports showed a significant increase of quality after the installment and modification of law regarding EIA.
