休閒農業是目前台灣農業轉型的策略之一，而民宿的發展乃休閒農業的一環，其在時間與空間的交錯需求之下，具有足夠的產業發展契機。但其與一般觀光旅遊業不同，它是以農業和農村資源為基礎，來提供休閒或遊憩的功能，其所運用的資源主要根植於地方，因此民宿的發展與農村有著密不可分的關係，本研究主要想了解目前農村地區民宿發展之現況，並探討民宿發展對農村所造成之影響。本研究是以『南投縣仁愛鄉清境地區』為實証案例，透過相關文獻回顧，建立民宿經營與農村發展的相關理論，並針對政府管理單位、民宿業者、清境農場相關人士、當地社區組識及居民進行問卷調查，釐清民宿發展對農村之影響，並就清境地區內、外部環境進行SWOT矩陣分析法，綜合實証分析研究結果，分別就政府管理層面及民宿業者經營層面，研擬兼顧農村之民宿發展策略，以供後續經營管理之參考。
