水域輕艇遊憩是國內外廣受歡迎的休閒遊憩活動之一，也已逐漸受到國人的接納及喜愛。在政府的支持、民間團體的推動下，未來亦可能影響著區域經濟的發展。因此，本研究針對臺灣溪流較著名之輕艇、泛舟場地：烏來南勢溪、南投水里溪、高雄荖濃溪、高雄濁口溪及花蓮秀姑巒溪等五個地點做為研究區域，並以線性加總法及灰關聯分析法(GRA)進行評估分析，探討各溪段發展輕艇活動之潛力，俾以界定其未來規畫經營上之利基，提供遊憩開發上合理之依據。研究結果顯示：一、黃昕絜、官文炎、朱達仁(2008)所提出之評估模式四大構面，其中特殊立地條件下之「溪域面積」、「水質條件」及「水溫」項目，經項目有效性分析，呈現無區別效度，因此予以刪除。二、經線性加總之評估後，整體評估中不同溪段之測點，呈現不同的環境特性，亦呈現不同之潛力與價值。三、經過比較五處溪流之輕艇遊憩潛力，由高至低的排序為秀姑巒溪、濁口溪、南勢溪、荖濃溪、水里溪等。綜合而言，本評估模式可就各溪流環境資源之特性，評估溪流發展輕艇活動潛力值，可提供未來作為河域輕艇活動發展規劃方面之應用及相關管理之依據。

Canoeing and kayaking are gaining in popularity among all of the leisure activities, and are affecting the development and promotion of local economies. This study attempts to analyze and evaluate the potential of developing canoe/kayak activities, based on the evaluation model developed by Huang, Kwan, & Chu (2008), which provided an index for evaluating the development of canoeing/kayaking sites on Taiwan rivers. The methods of linear summation and grey relational analysis were used. The aim is to define future operational planning for these activities, and provide a legitimate basis for leisure site development.Five renowned canoeing/kayaking rivers in Taiwan were used for status investigation, in order to explore their respective leisure value and potential: Wulai-Nanshi Creek, Nantou-Shuili Creek, Kaohsiung-Laonong Creek, Kaohsiung-Zhuokou Creek, and Hualien-Siouguluan Stream. The results showed that: (1) Of the special site conditions under the four major aspects proposed by Huang et al. (2008), ”water quality” and ”water temperature” indicated no discriminant validity, and hence were deleted; (2) In terms of the linear summation, overall evaluation indicated that different survey points demonstrated different environmental properties, as well as different potential and values; (3) Based on the analysis, the leisure potential of the five rivers, ranked in descending order, were Siouguluan River, Zhuokou Creek, Nanshi Creek, Laonong Creek, and Shuili Creek.
