| Summary | Transportation always plays a significant role in deciding whether a recreation system can be successfully functioning. Firstly, it is necessary to have a good transportation system to convey the visitors from their homes to the recreation sites. Furthermore, the objective of a good transportation system planning is not only to satisfy tourist travel demand, but also to direct tourist traffic according to the well-designed tourist guiding plan. Recently, following the increase of car ownership, the highway conditions are quickly deteriorated. What is worse is that almost at every holiday the high volumes of tourist and returning home traffic meet together and has led to more serious congestion on highways and a consequent deterioration in service quality of recreation systems. Since transportation systems have crucial effects on developing a good recreation system, in 1994, the Institute of Transportation (IOT) had conducted a project entitled (An Overall Transportation System Planning for the Recreation Districts in Taiwan) and paid more attention to the preliminary study of the transportation system connecting cities to the recreation sites in Taiwan. This study succeeded the pioneers project, a more detailed overall plan for the improvement of the transportation system connecting cities to the recreation sites in eastern Taiwan and Penghu, Kimmen, Matsu was proposed. It is expected that this plan will serve as a good reference for the local governments in Penghu, Kimmen, Matsu islands and eastern Taiwan area to initiate the improvement projects of the transportation system for the recreation sites in their jurisdictions. This project delivers three reports which include: (1) An Overall Transportation System Planning for the Recreation Districts in Taiwan - Penghu, Kimmen, Matsu Islands and Eastern Area ( I: Eastern Area ), January 1999, IOT Serial No. 88-6-1146, 325 pp. (2) An Overall Transportation System Planning for the Recreation Districts in Taiwan - Penghu, Kimmen, Matsu Islands and Eastern Area ( Executive Summary )( I: Eastern Area ), January 1999, IOT Serial No. 88-8-1148, 93 pp. (3) An Overall Transportation System Planning for the Recreation Districts in Taiwan - Penghu, Kimmen, Matsu Islands and Eastern Area ( II: Offshore Islands ), January 1999, IOT Serial No. 88-7-1147, 317 pp. (4) An Overall Transportation System Planning for the Recreation Districts in Taiwan - Penghu, Kimmen, Matsu Islands and Eastern Area ( Executive Summary )( II: Offshore Islands ), January 1999, IOT Serial No. 88-9-1149, 92 pp. |
