摘要

基層地方自治是訓練人民參與民主的重要場域，臺灣自1950年實施地方自治已歷58年，當地方政府角色及職能朝向地方治理轉變的同時，公民參與已成為治理的核心，強化公民參與機制為潮流所趨；公民投票在歐美民主先進國家，有其實施的經驗與成果；我國歷經長期公投立法爭議下，於2003年12月31日制定公布公民投票法，是台灣民主深化的重要里程碑。
因全國性公民投票的干擾因素太多，本研究將點置於地方性公民投票對提升地方治理之可行性與必要性。分析及了解臺灣實施公民投票的經驗是否有助於強化地方治理；地方實施公民投票的政治文化是否已臻成熟；公民投票之對話及審議的機制，能否助益於公民參與決策制定，以及有助於爭議的排解；並試圖評析公民投票法制之缺失並提出建議。
