本研究目的在瞭解墾丁海域休閒潛水者對地方依附重要性與環境屬性滿意度之因果關係，地方依附分為地方依賴與地方認同，環境屬性分為實質環境、社會環境、經營管理環境及活動設施環境屬性等，研究結果期能作為潛水業者經營及政府管理之參考。研究結果發現：一、受測者大多為男性佔71.8%，21-30歲年輕人佔42.1%較多，北部潛水者比南部多。二、休閒潛水者在地方依附重要性有顯著差異，且「地方認同」總平均數高於「地方依賴」，顯示對墾丁海域相當認同。三、休閒潛水者對環境屬性之滿意度有顯著差異：經驗較少之基層潛水者，對「導潛教練熟悉海域」最滿意，「舖設潛水專用步道」及「海底環境乾淨無垃圾」等滿意度最低，值得有關當局重視。四、地方依附與環境滿意度間相互作用，除地方認同之「樂意參加清潔或淨灘」兩項相關不顯著外，其餘為低度或中度相關；經多變量變異數分析，與地方依附重要性越高，環境滿意度越高之結果相同。

This study examined the relationship between the importance of place attachment and satisfaction of setting attributes from the viewpoints of scuba divers in the Kenting coast area. In this research, the place attachment included place dependence as well as place identity, while the setting attributes were divided into four categories, the physical, social, managerial, and activity facilities setting attributes. This research should become an important resource for future reference to both management and administration. The results found that first, 71.8% of the subjects people taking the survey were male, and the ages of 42.1% of the subjects ranged from 21 to 30. Divers from the northern Taiwan were more in number than those from the southern. Second, there occured a great difference in the importance of place attachment among the divers. Meanwhile, the average of place identity was higher than that of place dependence, which reflected a higher recognition of the Kenting coast. Third, there existed different satisfactions of setting attributes from different skill levels of recreational divers. For less-experienced divers, a great satisfaction was shown on the "diving-guide coaches' familiarity of the coast area," but a poor satisfaction on both the "specific diving pavements" and "clean ocean-bed without trashes." These should arouse the authority's concern. Fourth, except the less correlation of place identity in both "volunteering to clean" or "volunteering to clean shores," the interplay between place dependence and setting attributes showed correlations ranging from low to medium degrees. Through the multi-variational analysis, it was found that the higher importance of place attachment, the more satisfaction of the setting attributes.
