近年來，運動風氣與觀念漸趨轉變，運動項目隨社會趨勢已由體育專業競賽漸至成為與民眾生活連結之新型態運動項目，其中慢跑與路跑活動即為由競賽成功轉化成為廣為民眾所接受及參與之項目之一帶動其場地及路線環境規劃之需求。因此，本研究藉由探討路跑參與行為及跑者年齡性別對路跑環境因子重要性之認知，了解跑者對於路跑路線環境規劃因子之考量。研究資料以自填問卷的方式，利用現地與網路收集參與者對慢跑環境因子的評估。本研究結果初步印証慢跑環境構成因子與參與者行為特性與年齡族群之關聯，研究結果顯示，路跑參與行為及年齡影響參與者對路跑環境構成因子的評價，包含景色、周邊車流、可及性、自然程度、環境挑戰性、與路線寬敞明確性。在路跑環境規劃上建議需考量參與者特性作為路線上環境因子構成之基礎，對於沿線景色與車流狀況、自然程度、及路線之方便到達程度予以掌握，並提供明確之路線與不同挑戰程度路線之規劃，分析結果可提供慢跑路網規劃中，對於路線角色定位及網路系統配適之評估。

The physical activity of jogging and road running has become publicly prevalent in recent years, attracting a wide range of users with different backgrounds and behaviors. However, little research has been done on exploring what characteristics of the environment are most important to joggers' jogging experience. Therefore, this study intends to investigate how joggers’ demographics and jogging behaviors influence their perspectives to the environmental conditions along jogging routes. This study used self-administered survey as the instrument. The data collection process was conducted on-site and electronically. The findings show that the joggers’ age, motive, jogging time slot, frequency, and distance affect their perceptions on jogging environments such as the scene, nearby traffic, accessibility, the level of naturalness, the level of challenge, and the width and clarity of routes. These exploratory findings support that the joggers’ personal and behavioral characteristics affect the judgments on environmental factors in jogging routes. These results provide the empirical references concerning the positioning and fitness of jogging environments.
