According to 12th regulation of the National Park Act of the
Republic of China, the land in the park is divided into five categories: Ecological Protection Areas (these are managed for their wilderness value, and are not open
to the public), Special Scenic Areas, Archeological Protection Areas,
Recreation Areas, and General Protection Areas. Protection projects and utility
projects are undertaken according to the unique characteristics of each
category's resources. This has achieved the aims of conservation, research and
environmental educational recreation.
According to the National Park Act, the Ministry of the
Interior is responsible for supervising the park. It's Construction and Planning
Agency is responsible for the design and supervision of parks, and also
supervises the headquarters of each national park and manages the park's
conservation affairs. There are five administrative divisions and one police
corps for each national park. The divisions are responsible for the following
matters:
The Planning Section is responsible for park projects, managing national park
affairs, purchasing park lands, and establishing regulations in the park area.
The Environment Maintenance Section is responsible for preserving resources, and for
transportation, accommodations, recreation, and reconstruction of historic
relics. It is also responsible for surveying, and for managing building
projects.
The Conservation & Research Section is responsible for investigating and
planning conservation and research projects concerning ecological systems of
forests, historic relics and scenery
The Tourism & Recreation Section is responsible for the management of tourists, recreational
projects and tourist trade.
The Interpretation & Education Section is responsible for planning
interpretation facilities, training interpreters, editing information in other
languages, providing interpretation services, setting up exhibitions in the
service center, and raising public awareness of conservation issues.
The Police Corps is responsible for public security, maintaining order, and
protecting resources. It also assists in cases where the National Park Act is
violated.
In summary, we could say that the purpose of the National Park Service is to
advance the cause of environmental protection. In addition to conservation, it
also works to develop the area for recreational purposes and to educate the
public about conservation. The goal is for all people to value this
million-year- old national treasure and not to spoil it for the sake of
short-term benefits. In this way, future generations will also be able to enjoy the
beautiful park.
