國中小學教師對於不同類型森林之森林功能重要性比較

Comparison of the importance of forest functions among different forest types by the junior high and elementary school teachers

本研究的目的在於評估不同類型森林功能的重要性，並探討個人價值與森林功能之關係，採用問卷調查方式進行調查國中小學教師，共獲問卷225份，其中有效問卷數量為217份。問卷內容包括各種森林類型功能的重要性以及個人價值觀，個人價值觀部分採用Lists of values（LOV）價值觀量表，各問項的重要性採用李克特五點尺度量表量測。研究分析方法採用重複量數分析（RM-ANOVA）、成對樣本t檢定及逐步迴歸模式進行統計分析。研究結果顯示各別森林功能的重要性認知皆呈顯著差異性，山區森林和平地森林功能分別以「保水固土，保護周遭環境」與「貯存大氣中的CO2，及減緩全球暖化」之分數最高；然而在校園型、公園型及其他都市綠地都市林功能皆以「綠美化環境」的分數最高，「提供木材及相關產物」的分數最低。而在相同森林功能項目中，山區及平地森林以成對樣本進行t檢定，校園、公園及其他都市綠地都市林則以RM-ANOVA進行分析，結果顯示除「貯存大氣中的CO2，及減緩全球暖化」項目差異不顯著外，其他項目皆呈現差異顯著；此外，本研究也發現LOV量表能有效的預測各項森林功能。

This study aimed to evaluate the importance of forest functions for various forest types and to explore the relationship between personal values and forest functions. We used questionnaires to survey elementary and junior high school teachers, 217 valid responses out of 225 were obtained. The questionnaire assessed the importance of various forest types and personal values, measured by the List of Values (LOV) scale with a five-point Liket scale. Data were analyzed using repeated measure analysis of variance (RM-ANOVA), paired sample t-tests, and regression analysis. The results showed significant differences in the forest functions across different forest type. For mountainous forests, the highest-rated functions was 'water and soil conservation, environmental protection', while highest-rated functions for flatland forests was 'carbon dioxide storage, mitigating global warming'. The urban forests of campus-type, park-type, and other urban green spaces, had“beautifying the environment”as the highest items and“providing timber and related products”as the lowest one. The comparisons of specific forest functions between mountainous and flatland, we well as among the three urban forest types, revealed that only the function“carbon dioxide storage in the atmosphere, mitigating global warming”did not significantly differ. Moreover, our study also found that LOV scale effectively predicted the perceived importance of forest functions across various forest types.
