Based on the four scenarios in accordance with the development situation of Kinmen and Matsu, this study conducts the transportation demand forecast, optimal facility capacity evaluation, then proposes the transportation improvement plan.
With reference to the amount of transportation demand for tourism and business affairs, the annual transportation demand of Matsu is 40,000 trips, that of Kinmen 650,000 trips. According to the evaluation of this study, the optimal annual facility capacity of Matsu is 120,000 tourists, that of Kinmen 750,000 tourists.
As to the access system to Kinmen, we suggest expanding the airport passenger terminal and setting up ILS system. With regard to the transportation between Kinmen and China, marine transportation should be the trunk, Shui-tou port is suggested to be the main one. As to the inter-island transportation, viewing the construction of Kinmen bridge, both Shui-tou and Jiu-gong ports may well be transformed to recreation oriented ports. Linking both ports and Daer-dan islet would form a so-called blue-highway corridor. In regard to the transportation of inner island, we suggest development of a tourism-oriented transit. After accomplishing these goals, including road embellishing, improvement of parking facilities, dangerous road-section and road-sign system, comfortable and safe transportation system would be achieved.
As to the access system to Matsu, and the commission of Nan-gan airport, the transport between Matsu and Taiwan should be mainly served by air transport and assisted by the marine service. In fog seasons, it is necessary to increase the number of voyages. Marine transport should play major role between Matsu and China. Both Fu-ao and Ma-wei ports are suggested to be the main ports. As to the transportation of inter-islets, it is suggested to adjust and coordinate current ship routes, to design the optimal vessel type of Matsu archipelago, and to encourage air transport corporations to engage in operating copter transport business for tourism. As to the transportation of inner-island, we suggest building up the suitable transit to demonstrate wide spread small-scale parking facilities, and to improve lighting facilities, dangerous road section and sign system.
