高雄縣市合併後鄉鎮市業務延續與安排之研究—以道路建設與管理為例

2010年12月25日縣市合併升格直轄市後，從原有的台北市、高雄市兩大直轄市，形成台北市、新北市、台中市、台南市以及高雄市的五都體制。高雄市原本即為直轄市，並在此次與高雄縣合併升格。高雄縣原有之鄉（鎮、市）亦改制為區，故其相關業務功能也回歸直轄市政府辦理。因此在縣市合併升格的過程中，在業務功能的延續與安排上，也會面臨到相關的調整與改變。而高雄市與其他合併升格的縣市樣態不同，為直轄市與縣之合併。故本文以「高雄市」之「交通建設與管理」為例，探討縣市合併後鄉鎮市業務之延續與安排。本文將「交通建設與管理」分為制度面、互動面、管理面三個面向，並運用次級資料分析以及訪談的方式探討。發現在合併後，主要依循原高雄市之體制，並依實際狀況調整。而部分業務回歸一級機關辦理，也可使其具有專業性與一致性。此外，在合併後採用開口合約的方式，以達到其效率及補足區域面積增廣之情形。而在合併後因由鄉鎮市改為區，高雄市的資源整合，故亦有平衡區域發展的效果。
