台灣地區海灘安全管理之研究

本研究目的在於了解國內外海灘安全管理規範之現況差異，探討台灣海灘安全管理現況以及實務上之限制與困境，並提出建議供相關單位在海灘經營管理上，以及國人選擇水域休閒活動時的的參考。研究者蒐集國內政府、民間出版品及國外相關文獻資料，了解國內外海灘安全管理制度現況；並於北海岸三個主要海灘：白沙灣、福隆與翡翠灣，針對救生組長進行訪談以及實地觀察當地海灘安全管理運作情形。經分析討論後發現：在器材設施與人員編制方面，國內海灘的器材設施配置普遍未能完全符合國際標準，經營管理模式影響了海灘安全的管理成效，而特殊的工作性質也影響了救生員就業意願與素質；在管理實務上，專業人才的欠缺、現有法規不符現狀、以及民眾對於水域安全觀念的缺乏是管理者們共同面臨的困難所在，此外主管單位對相關議題的漠視與無知亦為阻礙之一。

針對以上結論，研究者提出建議如下：

一、主管單位及專業機構應加速研擬適合國內環境的海灘安全管理標準與規範。

二、設置終年性質海灘安全維護系統，以有效提昇海灘安全性及使用率。

三、加強水域安全教育，並注重相關研究與人才培訓。
