休漁政策是屬投入管制措施的一種。我國自2002年起實施自願性休漁，係由漁船自律減少一定的作業天數，期能減少漁獲努力量的投入，改善沿近海漁業資源的水準。本研究主要目的在探討漁民參與休漁的動機、阻礙因素及對海域使用觀念的看法，並分析該等因素是否是影響參與休漁意願的變數。本研究針對漁民進行調查，共得859份有效問卷。研究發現漁民未感受到有明顯的動機促使其參與休漁，且高度認同獎勵金額太少是主要的阻礙因素；漁民對海域使用觀念的看法上，高度認同有優先使用海洋的權利。在影響參與意願因素的分析上，本研究發現漁民對海洋或漁業持較開放的態度，及愈認同奬勵金是種生活補貼的概念者，參與休漁的意願愈高。最後，本研究根據結果提出管理意見供政府參考。

Suspending fishing activities is one kind of input control management measures. Since 2002 the fisheries authorities have implemented voluntary suspension of fishing activities program which allows fishermen to voluntarily reduce fishing days to a specific number. This program is aimed to reduce the input level of fishing efforts and thus improves fisheries resources in the coastal and offshore waters around Taiwan. The purpose of this study is to explore the fishermen’s motives and constraints to participate the program and their viewpoints toward ocean usage. The impact of these variables to participating intention is analyzed as well. A structured questionnaire was designed to collect the empirical data from fishermen and a total number of 859 valid samples were reclaimed. The study showed that fishermen did not reveal strong motives to participate the program and highly agreed that the main constraint is the low annual rewards. Fishermen also agreed that they have high priority to use ocean. In the analysis of the factors to intention of participating the program, the study found that the fishermen with more liberal attitude toward ocean usage and supportive of the rewards being kind of subsidies to livelihood revealed higher intention to participate the program. At last, the study based on the findings proposed some management suggestions for the concerned authorities.
