Gaps and bridges: The public and professional perspectives on Taiwan's national parks
In recent years, the research relative to protected areas focus on the interaction between people and environment. Scientists and conservators want to attract people's interest to natural environment and encourage them concern ecological problems. This is the basic reason to develop recreation opportunities in the protected areas. However, the protected areas suffer critical pressure resulted from visitors, especially national parks, whose main functions contain recreation.
As the first step to explore the balance of protection and recreation, this is a research to describe how the publics and professions think about national parks.
This researcher expects to collect the public and professional perspectives. Because the environmental ethics and standards have shaped the common sense, it is hard to avoid the bias of interview. Therefore, the research will collect the blog articles and newspaper reports to represent the public viewpoints. It is expected to search 200 blog articles and 200 newspaper articles in recent five years. On the other hand, the experts and scholars' statements in official judgement and discussion meetings will applied to perform the professional viewpoints. Considering the stable truth in academia, the professional meeting records will be looked back for only 2 years, where there are about 20 meetings.

1. This "researcher?" expects to collect the public and professional perspectives...
2. "Because the environmental ethics and standards have shaped the common sense, it is hard to avoid the bias of interview. Therefore, the research will collect the blog articles and newspaper reports to represent the public viewpoints"....what do u mean by this?
3. 200, why 200? maybe u should start to do the work before you know when is enough.
4. What kind of the "experts and scholars' statements in official judgement and discussion meetings"? can give some definitions?
5. Considering the stable truth in academia...what is "stable truth"?, why 2 years is good enough?
其實200這個數字是虛擬的, 因為還不知道做出來會怎樣....其實我應該用"預期本研究會怎樣怎樣"的口氣吧
But, anyway, this is a good topic and good start, just a little "too fast" on your descriptions. My suggestion is get your hands on to start the process, you will get and think more of it.
這是本週(12/9)質性研究方法報告中的一段, 或可稱之為問題意識.
===========================
國家公園成立宗旨在於保護、研究、育樂，這是民國61年立法時所用的詞彙，用現在的語言來說就是保育、研究、遊憩，其中遊憩活動又應寓有環境教育之意。
一手催生台灣國家公園的國內外學者如今都已屆退休之齡，仍屢次在會議或論壇中疾呼國家公園在舉辦大型活動(如馬拉松、音樂節等)和行銷明星物種(如櫻花鈎吻鮭、紫斑蝶、台灣黑熊等)之餘，莫忘國家公園核心價值，要建立物種基因資料庫(species and gene database)和承載量(carrying capacity)；國家公園從業人員孜孜矻矻以實踐保育理念為己任，常因「我們不以爭取遊客量為目的」自豪，卻有意識或無意識地為爭取立委支持而努力、以媒體正面報導和遊客肯定為榮，但若無立委支持、媒體報導，國家公園之經營管理與保育研究將無以為繼，若無遊客，竟無以評估國家公園保育理念之宣導有無成果；遊客提及國家公園，所求乃是極高品質的遊憩體驗，「國家」公園焉可沒有「國家級」的廁所和衛生紙？焉可沒有「國家級」的遊客中心和展售部？焉可沒有「國家級」的親切服務和專業導覽？但遊客們也都很清楚國家公園是為了保育自然生態和文化資產而設立，因此若有土石崩落草木枯萎屋宇塵封便動輒以心痛悲哀稱之。若不釐清這之間的落差，何以滿足不同利益關係者的需求？又何以得知國家公園未來保育研究及經營管理方向與工作重點？
by the way, I want to submit it to 2009 ISSRM.
