課程目標在引導學生瞭解環境經濟學的基礎與理論，使學生在面對環境相關議題時，譬如全球氣候變遷、空氣污染、水污染與廢棄物管理，能夠利用經濟學的成本效益分析方法，分析環境汙染防治的社會效益與成本，訂定適當的環境保護政策，包含命令管制、排放費和排放權交易制度等，以追求環境永續發展。

The course objectives guide students to understand the basic and theoretical discussions of environmental economics, so that students can use economic cost-benefit analysis methods to analyze the social benefits and costs of environmental pollution prevention and control, and set appropriate environmental protection policies, including order control, emissions and emission rights trading systems, etc., in order to pursue the sustainable development of the environment.

人類為了維繫生存所產生的各種開發活動；由早期的開發耕地到目前都市興建後所衍生的垃圾處理、空氣污染、水污染及噪音污染等的問題等，對於周遭自然環境皆產生了程度不一的影響。而環境管理者為求積極的解決(預知)開發案對環境的衝擊，因此建立環境影響評估制度，希望利用此制度可以有效的降低開發事件對環境污染的衝擊。而如何有效的說明、模擬預知、評估環境因開發案而改變的狀態，即是本課程主要內容。

Various development activities generated by humans in order to maintain survival; problems such as garbage treatment, air pollution, water pollution and noise pollution derived from the early development of arable land to the current urban construction have had different degrees of impact on the surrounding natural environment. In order to seek an aggressive solution (predict) attack on the environment, environment managers have established an environmental impact assessment system, hoping that using this system can effectively reduce the impact on environmental pollution by development events. How to effectively explain, simulate predict and evaluate the situation of the environment changing due to the development is the main content of this course.
