Abstract	Kengting National Park, located in southern Taiwan and surrounded by the sea on three sides, is the only national park that covers both land and sea. The summer is 9 months long, and its yearly average temperature is 24.5 °C, which is very suitable for many different water activities. There were 7 million visitors in 2013, a sign of booming tourism. Unfortunately, the park has experienced as many as 2.4 typhoons yearly, according to Taiwan’s Central Weather Bureau statistics. In addition, its geography is also unique, with steep hillsides and fragile geology. It is very close to the Hengchun fault, the Bashi Channel, and a nuclear power plant. This tourist site has a very high potential for complex disasters. There is only one main road. If a strong earthquake occurred, it would easily result in traffic disruption. Based on these concerns, this research studied the allocation of current evacuation/refuge shelters and their service areas to determine whether these shelters are sufficient for overall disaster demands, including the number of people each evacuation/refuge shelter can accommodate, service area, and space allocation. The study integrated a multi-decision making model with a Geographic Information System to establish the most optimal allocation of disaster evacuation/refuge shelters for disaster prevention in Kengting National Park.
