This study investigates whether Lin and Xie's (2008) model of "the general community-based environmental learning center composing essential factors and the developing mode" is suitable for unique rural areas such as mountains areas, fishing villages, aboriginal lands and island area. Ten leaders of well-known communities in rural areas were surveyed using both Fuzzy Delphi and the Analytic Hierarchy Process. The four main essential factors of community-based environmental learning centers in unique rural areas were determined to be "community resource facilities," "personnel," "programs," and "operation management." These four primary factors were further divided into 19 different sub-factors. While environmental learning centers being formed, the communities in unique rural areas should pay attention to three sub-factors "environmental facilities", "interpreters and volunteers" and "funding" which is with high importance and high achievement, and should overcome the sub-factors with high importance but low achievement as "natural resources", "experts' assistance", "local supporters", "interpretation and training programs" and "management and maintenance of the field" etc., which may be hard to be encountered. The developing model of community-based environmental learning centers in unique rural areas is via the supporting of "local supporters", and training community residents willing to become "interpreters and volunteers" under "enthusiastic managers' call". Necessary "funding" was raised through the proper "management" and the experts help to develop a variety of programs. Finally the goal of sustainable development of community-based environmental learning centers in unique rural areas will be achieved.
