國道通車對沿線鄉鎮緊急醫療救護量的影響：以國道五號與六號為例

The Changes of Emergency Medical Services Along The National Freeway No. 5 and 6 Areas: Before And After The Transport

背景目的：連結台北都會區與宜蘭縣的國道五號於2006 年通車，連結台中都會區與南投縣的國道六號於2009 年通車，有人聲稱這兩條國道幫台北與台中製造了後花園，勢必對宜蘭縣與南投縣造成影響。目的：比較國道通車前後沿線鄉鎮緊急醫療救護量的變化。結果：原本緊急醫療救護量較多與著名觀光地區的鄉鎮有較顯著的增加。結論：國道的通車拉近了縣市的距離，交通的便利促成國道沿線鄉鎮的經濟活動，也連帶增加了緊急醫療的需求，尤其是原本緊急醫療救護量與觀光活動較多的鄉鎮其需求成長最多，政府機關宜盡快增加緊急醫療救護資源來因應此變化。

Background: National freeway No. 5 which connected Taipei city and Yilan County had started transport in 2006. National freeway No. 6 which connected Taichung city and Nantou County had started transport in 2009. These roads would affect the local area. Purpose: Compare the difference of emergency medical service before and after the National freeway transport. Results: Obvious changes were noted at high emergency medical service demand areas and tourism areas. Conclusion: The government should note the effect and prepare early to face the change.
