愛河是高雄市最鮮明的城市意象，在經濟發展快速進步的同時，愛河的環境卻急遽惡
化，居民與愛河的關係也日益疏離。近年來，政府積極推動各項愛河綠廊的景觀改善計畫，提
升優質的水岸生活環境，愛河的整治已略見成效。本文經由文獻回顧、實地考察及深度訪談，
瞭解愛河綠廊現況後，以Fábos（2004）的理論基礎為依據，將愛河綠廊區分為「生態保育」、
「休閒遊憩」和「社會文化」等三大主要功能，並據此提出24 項細部功能，透過模糊德爾菲
法專家問卷調查，分析愛河綠廊的重要功能。研究結果顯示，愛河綠廊具有「提高都市景觀美
感」、「增加觀光遊憩魅力」、「紓解心理壓力」、「幫助地方感的建立」及「整合都市遊憩
機能」等重要功能，不過在「連結生態網絡系統」、「改善水質」、「提供水上遊憩活動」、
「沿岸歷史古蹟的保存」及「提供災害時之避難場所」等功能則有待加強。

The Lover River has been the most vivid urban image of Kaohsiung city. However, the
environment of the Lover River and its relationship with the residents worsened rapidly along with
the development and progresses of the urban economy. Recently, the government actively improves
greenway landscape of the Lover River, and promotes high-quality living environment around the
shores. The improvement of the Lover River seems to be successful so far. In this study, we try to
evaluate the current situation of Lover River greenway through literature review, fieldtrip, and
in-depth interview, Based on Fabos’ theory, we classified the greenway functions of Lover River into
three fundamental categories, including “Ecological conservation”, “Recreation”, and
“Socio-culture”. Twenty-four essential functions following these three categories were further
established and been analyzed by Fuzzy Delphi Method and experts’questionnaire. Results show that
there are many important greenway functions of Lover River, including “Improving the cityscape”,
“Increasing tourism attraction”, “Relieving mental pressure”, “Establishing the sense of place”, aument “Integrating urban recreation functionality”. On the other hand, some greenway functions should be
improved seriously in the future, including “Linking ecological network system”, “Improving water
quality”, “Providing water-based recreation”, “Conserving historical legacy around the shores”, and
“Offering refuge for disaster”.
