本研究採整合性及永續性規劃方法，選擇東北角海岸風景特定區為個案研究案例，以內部優勢及弱勢，外部機會及威脅，討論其永續觀光發展課題。再依世界觀光組織(WTO,1996)提出之永續觀光中心指標(Core Indicators of Sustainable Tourism)觀念，研提30項永續觀光發展現況指標量度，作為經營管理及釐訂策略之參考。分析結果有13項為趨向永續性發展，3項永續性趨向維持不變，14項背離永續性發展。對於不利永續觀光發展的內部、外部因素，直接、間接危害到東北角海岸觀光發展，本研究分析具體提出因應策略。由研究案例可知觀光地區永續發展，需針對觀光客、社區居民、觀光環境、觀光媒體間互相關連的課題予以整合規劃。觀光規劃及經營管理是持續不斷的，必需經營管理單位、居民、政府及國際合作推動實踐。必須為現代人及後世子孫永續觀光使用著想，才符合觀光地區永續發展。本研究並提出觀光地區永續發展行動策略，分政府觀光管理部門、觀光產業者、非政府組織(NGOs)、觀光客及國際組織等五部門予以釐訂，可作為觀光地區經營管理者執行規劃及永續發展之參考。
