| Popis: | 107 With the increasing amount of climate changes in recent years in Taiwan, the rate of silt build-up in water reservoirs has become a serious issue as the pattern of industrial upgrading and people''s increasing water demands have led to a situation where the demand is far greater than the supply; Taiwan is facing a serious shortage of water resources. In addition to the annual issues related to the government and people’s livelihoods, a stable water price policy needs to be enacted as Taiwan’s water price is far lower than other countries. Taiwan is becoming the country with the world''s third lowest water price, a water price average of 10.9 New Taiwanese Dollars per degree, where the water price is so inexpensive people lack the concept of water conservation resulting in the waste of water resources. The ability to effectively allocate and manage water resources has become an important issue that the government authorities need to consider. This research is based on the analysis of such as water resources and environmental education literature and is also supplemented by opinions given by experts and scholars that were consulted on this topic. To establish a research structure past environmental education indicators were used to clarify the research direction and the scope of information. An extensive objective questionnaire was used to gather information, where the questionnaire analyzed the degree of water environmental education as promoted by the Taiwan Water Company. An in-depth analysis of the implementation and effectiveness of water environment education was performed, as a future reference of the benefits for measuring and tracking the effectiveness of water resources environmental development in Taiwan. This study can also be used as a reference in the establishment of a number of environmental education centers in the future and can also serve as a reference for the government to formulate water resources related policy specifications. The employees of the Taiwan Water Company and the visitors to the Taiwan Water Company’s park were selected as the targets of the questionnaire. The relevance of the questionnaire’s input, process, and output dimensions were analyzed, and the data were collected; a total of 363 valid questionnaires were collected. According to the results of this study, the respondents have significant effects on the input dimension, process dimension, output dimension, and the implementation and effectiveness dimensions. It is suggested that future research on water resources environmental education should invest in various resource factors, strengthen organizational promotional activities, design more educational environments and educational courses, and establish self-assessment mechanisms as a reference for further water resources environmental education reform or institutional innovation. |
