Abstract:

Objective of this work is to indentify farm ponds’ preservation values and spatial location for farm ponds conservation in Yunlin County, Taiwan. Conclusions of the Fuzzy Delphi Method and GIS mapping found that farm ponds in western coastal areas presented higher living, production, ecology, and cultural landscapes preservation value, while the inland areas in central plains and the northeast presented the advantages of ecology, living, environmental disaster relief and cultural landscapes.
