| Popis: | 94 Land use and land cover change (LUCC) has long been a critical issue on the research of environmental change. The identification of driving forces becomes the core theme of LUCC research. This research employs agent-based approach to explore agents’ decision-making process. Questionnaire interview is used to identify driving factors of abandoned aquaculture in the coastal area of Yunlin County, Taiwan. Decision-tree analysis is proceeded to delineate the decision process by the combination of driving factors. Ten decision processes are identified by the decision-tree analysis. The combination of : 1) agents whose raising area less than 2 acres,whose age over 40, and who have non-farming income; and 2) fish ponds that has high accessibility of salt water is the most significant decision process of abandoned aquaculture. The integration of questionnaire interview and the decision-tree analysis has shown to be a useful method for the LUCC research. |
