本研究目的主要希望藉由使用後評估，瞭解公園原規劃設計理念著重休閒遊憩與生態保育兩方面之實行成效，與當前管理單位採取包括部份施出租經營、民眾參與、安全措施、遊客解說教育、環境維護等經營管理策略之執行成效。資料收集方法包括實質環境調查、入口觀察計數、行為觀察、遊客訪談四種。評估結果顯示，在設計理念實行方面，由於高雄都會公園之遊憩參與量相當頻繁，且遊客對於公園內各項設施滿意度、整體滿意度、使用安全滿意度以及重遊意願均相當高，因此就現階段建設初期而言休閒遊憩目標之實行成效已相當不錯；但是對於生態保育目標則應待二期工程完成後再審慎評估。在經營管理策略執行方面，目前管理單位所採取之各項措施之執行成效大致良好。其中四項出租設施之維護品質不錯且遊客對其收費價格、環境清潔、人員服務等大致滿意，而設施維護管理、安全管制、遊客解說教育等措施，均確實有助於達成經營管理目標。建議後續研究應針對公園設施收費政策進行探討，而管理單位則應持續定期地對公園績效做整體評估。

　　　　　The purpose of this study was to evaluate the performance of Kaoshiung Metropolitan Park by the method of post occupancy evaluation (POE). The performance of the park was assessed by data collected from physical environment investigation, visitation, behavior observation and park users interview. The research findings showed that both the purposes of park design and management goals are achieved satisfactorily. Most park users are satisfied with recreation facilities, public facilities, interpretive services, park plantings and its maintenance. The strategies adopted are helpful to achieve park management goals. Based on the findings of this study, further study on the fee collection policy for park facilities is suggested. Continuous and periodical evaluating the performance of park management is recommended.
