Shu-Wei Huang, Hsing-Fu Kuo, Hsiu-I Hsieh, and Ting-Hsuan Chen
Abstract—In recent years, tourism has become the industry
which lots of local governments promoted actively in Taiwan.
Taiwan belongs to the island so that it has the abundant coastal
natural resources that coastal tourism has become a major
tourism development. However, coastal areas are mostly within
environmentally sensitive areas, when investment and
promotion of the tourism development will impact the natural
environment, so it is an important topic to discuss.
This study attempts to research the extent of the environmental benefits of promoting tourism development actively through data envelopment analysis (Data Envelopment Analysis, DEA) by the view of land development and landscape ecology.
Index Terms—Coastal tourism, environmental efficiency, data envelopment analysis.
