生態旅遊是以自然環境為訴求,基於人與自然共存,以生態保育為原則進而追求自然永續發展的活動.而遊憩環境衝擊認知是遊客對經由意識活動而產生對遊憩使用造成環境負面影響之看法,繼而回饋到下一波對遊憩區屬性之認知與選擇,並且遊客對遊憩區內涵的感受將更形確定.溼地的遊憩使用應建立在以自然資源保育為重的原則下進行,而溼地生態區是屬於生態敏感地區,所以對於環境衝擊的監測與管理即顯得格外重要.本研究以高美與福寶溼地生態區為例,以生態旅遊活動認知與溼地生態價值評量為基礎,利用對現地之衝擊認知情形,藉由可接受改變限度（Limits of Acceptable Change,LAC）及遊客衝擊管理模式（Visitor Impact Management,VIM）分析遊客、管理者及計畫者的參與,來探討遊客行為與遊憩衝擊認知,對未來溼地生態區的保護與利用計畫提出建議.
英文摘要
Ecotourism is an activity to pursue sustainable development of natural environment, which is based on coexistence between human and nature, principle of ecological preservation. Visitors’ perceptions of environmental impacts in a recreation setting are via their mental activities to form their viewpoints about the negative impacts which are derived from recreation uses. Consequently, it would feedback to their perceptions of recreation setting attributes and site choices as well. In addition, visitors’ feelings about the contents of a recreation setting are becoming firmer.
