Abstract
The study area of this research is located in the Yilan coastal area. Based on the literature review and experts' consultation, some suitable indicators of sustainable development are selected. The Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) is applied to calculate the indicator weights through the experts' questionnaires. In addition, the local residents' questionnaires are conducted in order to evaluate the situations of sustainable development and to provide strategic planning in the study area. Results show that the weighted value of ecological conservation is highest (0.414) based on experts' questionnaire, and social culture (0.238), management (0.228) and economic industry (0.121) are following. Moreover, after the comprehensive evaluation by local residents' questionnaire, the outcome of social culture dimension (6.37) is highest, and the ecological conservation dimension (6.24), management dimension (5.97) and economic industry dimension (5.37) are following. Finally, we provide the strategic planning for the sustainable development in the study area, including three strategies: (1) implementing ecological conservation and developing tourism industry; (2) continuing community development and creating cultural economics; and (3) collaborating sustainable governance and strengthening public participation.
