無尾港野生動物保護區經營管理效能評估RAPPAM的引進與適用

Abstract

本研究應用世界自然基?會的保護區經營管?快速評估與設定優先法(WWF RAPPAM methodology)，並結合訪談、?與觀察、焦點團體與文獻回顧等質性研究方法，以宜?縣無尾港野生動物保護區?對象，進?保護區經營管?效能評估的研究。本研究評估結果顯示，無尾港野生動物保護區在經營管?上的優點包括清楚的經營管?目標、?好的溝通與資訊、基礎設施、及適當的經營管?決策過程。而保護區位置的設計與規劃、財務及經營管?計畫則明顯呈現弱項。本研究結果發現WWF RAPPAM methodology能夠呈現整體保護區的經營管?成效，然其評估工作坊需要權益關係人積極?與，?需要管?機關的支持與投入。依據評估結果，我們建議加強基礎資?收集，並強化保育計畫書的架構與格式，以提升該保護區的經營管?效能。

This paper reports on an application of the Rapid Assessment and Prioritization of Protected Area Management (RAPPAM) methodology of the WWF, to assess the effectiveness of the Wu-Wei-Kang Wildlife Refuge management in Taiwan. This study, carried out from 2005 to 2007, in conjunction with qualitative methods including interviews, participant observation, focus groups, and literature review. The results show that the Wu-Wei-Kang Wildlife Refuge has operational and management advantages which are clear management targets, good communication and information, good infrastructure, and appropriate decision-making processes. The weaknesses include improper site design and planning, and lacks of sound financial management process and management planning. Our study shows that the WWF's RAPPAM methodology generally offers an overall management effectiveness of this protected area. We suggest that stakeholders' active participation in workshops and local authorities' supports and inputs are important. We also believe that there should be baseline data collections, and we should pay more attention on the management plan in terms of format and content for this refuge.
