近年由於消費能力提升，加上民眾的消費型態轉變為「用後即丟」，因此造成垃圾數量的急速增加，而且前臺灣地區已有七成的垃圾掩埋場呈現飽和狀態，且尋找新的垃圾掩埋場地點十分困難，因此更突顯出垃圾問題的嚴重性。資源回收不僅可減少垃圾量及污染，並可延長垃圾掩埋場及焚化爐的壽命，因此可用於解垃圾問題。目前國內三大回收系統中，以拾荒體系分佈的範圍最廣，而其中向拾荒者收購廢棄物的廠商，稱為中小盤舊貨商或廢棄物商，而業者堆放及整理廢棄物的場地稱之為資源回收站。

　　在愈來愈重視資源回收及現有資源回收站多位於住宅區內，因此本研究選擇大安區及中山區住宅區內的資源回收站，藉由現況調查及問卷調查方式，以探求資源回收站對居住環境的影響，居民對資源回收站的接受意願及接受位置，環境認知對居民接受意願是否有影響，最後希望得出資源回收站與住宅區是否相容。

　　本研究結論與建議如下：

　　一、結論

　　　　1.由環境認知與接受意願相關檢定中，發現接受資源回收站之意願受到居住時間、住家整棟建物使用情況、資源回收站設置的必要性、與日常生活的密切性、設置地點、知道資源回收站與否等的影響，因此可看出居民態度的重要性。

　　　　2.經問卷調查發現，以「造成環境髒亂」、「破壞環境景觀」二項，影響程度為嚴重，而其他八項的影響程度為普通，僅「振動」一項影響不太，故得知資源回收站對居住環境影響是普通程度。

　　　　3.對資源回收站接受意願而言，「廢紙」資源回收站的比例為七成六，「廢鋁」資源回收站是六成七，「廢鐵」資源回收站是六成五，故過半數的受訪者願意接受資源回收站。

　　　　4.就資源回收站接受位置而言，對「廢紙、鐵鐵、廢鋁」三種資源回收站最願意接受的位置為「在同一街廓的建物」或「相隔一條街的建物」的位置。

　　　　5.由分析中得知現有資源回收站最為人詬病的影響，即是環境景觀的破壞，環境髒亂，這此皆屬於較易改進的項目，再者因資源回收站未對廢棄物進行化學方面的處理，所以不會有毒性污染的產生，所以，資源回收站與住宅區不會有完全不相容的情形出現。

　　二、建議

　　　　1.建議在土地使用管制法令修法時，能將資源回收站列入「附條件允許使用」的項目內，容許資源回收站設置住宅區內。

　　　　2.建議有關單位對於資源回收站，不僅在設置前予以管制外，設置後亦需的不定期檢查。

　　　　3.建議主管單位應先建立衡量資源回收站外部性的標準，此標準應包含實質性及非實質性的影響的評估。

　　　　4.政府在積極倡導資源回收的同時，建議宜利用現有的回收管道，尤其是拾荒系統。

　　由於本研究是以住宅區內二十坪至五十坪的資源回收站，因此建議後研究可根據其不同規模、不同分區內的資源回收站作其他的探討，而文中所提「資源回收站與住宅區相容使用之原則」則僅供參考，需後績研究再做進一步的評估與計論。

　　Because of the increasing consuming abillty and the disposable consuming pattern, the volume of trash increases rapidly in Taiwan. Nowadays over 70% of landfills in Taiwan are over-loaded and new sites are difficult to find, which results in a serious waste disposal problem. Recycling can reduce the volume of trash, control the pollution, and extend the life-cycle of landfills and incinerators as well. Among Taiwan's three recycling systems, the garbage collecting system is the most widely practiced system in urban areas. Those collectors or waste vendors. The places storing and packaging recyclable items are called recycling centers.

　　Recyling is becoming more and more important in residential areas, and recycling station is widely set up in urban areas as well, Therefore, this research focuses on recycling centers in residential areas in Da-An and ChungShan Districts, Taipei. Using field surveys and questionnaire data, the author tries to explore the impact of recycling centers on residential environments. The author also tries to examine resident's willingness to accept the recycling station and the location of the recycling station as well. Furthermore, the author studies whether environmental attitudes have impacts on the willingness to accept the recycling station. In the last part of this research, the author examines whether there exists compatibility between recycling station and residential environments.

　　There are five major findings in this thesis:

　　(1)From the correlation analysis, the author finds that the willingness to accept depends on the duration of residence, the condition of building, land use patterns, necessity of placing recycling stations, relationships to everyday life, location of recycling stations and the information about recycling centers.

　　(2)"Environmental chaos' and "landscape exploitation" are the two most serious impacts to the residential environments.

　　(3)In terms of the willingness to accept, about 76% of the residents wil accept paper recycling stations, and 67% will accept aluminum recycling stations, and 65% will accept iron recycling stations, That is to say, over 60% of respondents will accept recycling centers in residential areas.

　　(4)Regarding the location of recycling centers, the most acceptable locations for recyclable paper, iron, and aluminum are "building in the same block" and "one street away".

　　(5)The worst impacts of recycling centers are landscape exploitation and environmental chaos, These are negative externalities which are easy to improve, therefore, there will be on incompatibility between recycling centers and residential land use.

　　The suggestions are as follows:

　　(1)The recycling stations can be set up in the residential areas under the "conditional permit" land use regulations.

　　(2)In addition to the regulations before the set-up of the recycling stations, there should be regulations "after" the set-up of the recycling stations.

　　(3)The government should first lay out the performance standards for the recyling stations. These standards should include the evaluation of physical impacts to the environment .

　　(4)The government should make good use of the existing recycling systems, especially the garbage collectors.

　　This research only focuses on recycling stations from 20 to 50 pins (Taiwanese measurement unit), Future research should study recycling stations of different sizes and locations, The Principles of Compatibility Between Resources Recycling Centers and Residential Areas proposed in this thesis are preliminary principles. Future researchers should reevaluate and refine these principles.
