Since the promotion of the Sustainable Development concept, it has become the common goal for global environmental policies. Moreover, the sustainable development concept has become the principal guideline for urban planning, resource development, and environmental conservation. Taiwan's National Comprehensive Plan also adopts the sustainable development concept to improve the living environment, to enhance the production environment, and to protect the ecological environment. Therefore, the sustainable use of land reource should include, at least, "equity" and "effectiveness" to achieve the sustainability goal. However, Taiwan's present land resource use is either in an improper use or over'use status, which significantly ignores the balance between environment and development. Many studies point out that sustainable indicators can provide operational definitions for sustainable development and can be used as a reference for policy making. Therefore, this paper, based on sustainable development concept, defines the context and content of sustainable land resource use. Using the Central Area as a case study, this paper establishes sustainable land resource indicators, which take into account conservation and protection of the environment and can be adopted to help implement sustainable land use. This paper first defines the context and content of sustainable development and reviews the development history of the sustainable indicators. Following that, this paper proposes principles for selecting sustainable indicators. This paper uses the Delphi technique to examine the feasibility of these indicators. Acoording to the Delphi result, under the sustainable development goal, there are three major goals, seven indicator groups, and 42 indicators. To help sustainable indicators contribute to the evaluation of public policies, this paper adopts the Analytic Hierarchical Process (AHP) to evaluate the weighting of sustainable principles and indicators. This paper also adopts these findings to examine the degree to which the indicators can help the Central Region to achieve the sustainable development goal. The final part of this paper is conclusion and suggestions.
