本研究之目的是從法治觀點檢視太魯閣國家公園管理處與原住民之溝通平台，期獲知我國國家公園管理的法治現狀。《國家公園法》乃國家公園管理之法源，為落實其管理綱領，屢有學者建議修改。本研究之資料取自2000-2009年太魯閣國家公園管理處與當地原住民「溝通平台」的建制過程。本研究採用全程記錄，分析相關文獻與深度訪談等方式，以法治文本(如《國家公園法》及其施行細則等重要公部門文件)與當局的施政為基礎，分析國家公園管理機構處理原住民事務所秉持之態度與作法。本研究發現，國家公園經營管理處理原住民相關事務之宗旨、原則或方式，未有適切的法治基礎。本文亦參考美國國家公園署的綱領系統作為比較之用。太魯閣國家公園管理處歷經十餘年與當地原住民之間的「溝通平台」，在建構過程中有許多起落。本文從政策連續性、資源利用效率、績效等層面，討論法治管理的得失與兩造間的互信基礎。本文建議宜從積極修法著手並研擬原住民政策，同時成立原住民事務規劃小組，進行整體規劃與施政綱要。務必落實生物多樣性等自然保育之精神，進而強化與國際保育組織接軌，促進國家公園管理的成效與順暢。

The purpose of this study was to examine the communication platform between Taroko National Park Headquarters and local aboriginal from a legislative perspective in order to understand the current state of the legislation of national park headquarters in Taiwan. National Park Act, the ordinance of national park management, has often been suggested by scholars to undertake amendments in order to facilitate efficient implementation. This study was conducted between 2000 and 2009 to investigate the building of a “communication platform” between Taroko National Park Headquarters and local aboriginal. Comprehensive documentation, literature analysis and in-depth interviews were methods used to gather information. Laws (including National Park Act and other important government documents such as enforcement rules) and the Headquarters policies served as the basis for analysis of the attitude towards and execution of aboriginal affairs by the Headquarters. It is discovered that the Headquarters abided by no appropriate laws in their missions, principles or methods to handle aboriginal affairs. In this study, guidelines of the American National Park Service were used for comparisons. After over a decade, the communication platform built between Taroko National Park Headquarters and local aboriginal experienced a number of ups and downs. This paper discusses the gains and losses resulted from the legislative management as well as the foundation of trust between the two parties from various aspects including policy continuity, efficiency of resource utilization, and performances. It is suggested to actively amend and formulate aboriginal policies and at the same time set up an aboriginal affairs planning task force to conduct overall planning and devise policy implementation guidelines. It is imperative to fulfill the essence of natural conservation such as biodiversity, strengthen the bridge with international conservation organizations, and facilitate a smooth operation of national park management.
