小城市之發展策略與區域治理：以南投市為例
The Development Strategies of Small City and Regional Governance: The Case of “ Nantou City ”
摘要
摘要 近年來我國城市區域的發展受到全球化、國際化和自由化的影響，在全球城市整合的發展趨勢下，各地方政府為了對抗全球各大城市和區域的競爭挑戰，都希望藉由調整行政區域、提升行政層級來帶動整體政治、經濟和社會的發展，行政區域的調整已成為提升城市競爭力的良方。 全球在地化促使城市更加速開放變革，各國政府多就其結構與角色進行轉型，也使得城市的崛起，許多的城市已成為國家發展的核心。我國在2010年12月25日進行行政區劃的調整，將台中縣、市改制為臺中市，與本案同時變更的尚包括台北縣獨立改制為新北市；台南縣與台南市的改制為台南市；以及高雄縣與高雄市改制為高雄市，加上原有的臺北市，以及2014年12月25日桃園縣升格為桃園市，目前我國已有六個直轄市，亦可稱為六個城市區域，徹底的改變了台灣地區發展的傳統模式。 台中縣、市合併升格為直轄市為提升我國中部城市區域發展的一項作法，也是提昇城市競爭力的一項指標，希望藉由台中市的發展來拉抬中台灣地區的進步。位在直轄市旁邊的「小城市」（small city），在磁吸效應之下，包括民眾、經費、資源、就業機會都往直轄市靠攏，「小城市」有被邊緣化的危機，甚至逐漸沒落。 本研究是以改制後台中市周圍的「南投市」為個案研究對象，分別從「社會面」、「財政面」、「產業面」和「建設面」等四個不同層面進一步分析；並採用了次級資料分析法、焦點人物深度訪談及Q方法論等研究方法，希望以不同研究方法綜合出適切的觀點與看法，獲得更完整的論述，進一步分析在城市區域邊陲地帶，「小城市」應該如何憑藉著本身的條件，發現自己的定位，尋找他們獨特的「賣點」，以求能在激烈的城市競爭下永續發展，尋找其定位以及未來努力的方向。 研究發現南投市同時面臨著自身發展體質的「內生」，及台中市合併升格直轄市，對南投市產生了磁吸效果的「外來」二種困境，伴隨城市區域的發展，使得南投市必須同時面對體制內、外不同部門間的影響與互動，在整個「中台區域」發展過程中，南投市是無法和台中市共同發展，同時，南投市也無法扮演台中市「衛星城市」的功能、也並不適合扮演著人才供應庫的「職業輔導」型、或道路交通轉運的「交通樞紐」型小城鎮的功能，「南投市」應扮演著台中市和其他鄉村地區間的「節點」連結功能。本研究在這基礎下，分別擬訂各種不同的政策建議，以期建構南投市發展的特有模式。

Abstract The notions of globalization, internationalization and liberalization affect city and regional development in our country over years. Local government confronting with the competitions and challenges from major cities and regions around the world wishes to promote political, economy and society development by taking advantage of to adjust jurisdiction area or to enhance administrative structures. Adjusting administration areas has being the main approach to improve city competitiveness. There are six metropolitan city governments in Taiwan now. former Taichung City and County were merged as Taichung City; former Taipei County was reformed as New Taipei City; former Tainan City and County were merged as Tainan City; and former Kaoshiung City and County were merged as Kaoshiung City in 25th December, 2010. Four years later, former Taoyuan county was reformed as Taoyuan City in 25th December 2014. These metropolitan city governments play the core development engine for respective region. However, can a small city located within the region have a development vision and strategy different from the core metropolitan city? Small cities nearby the metropolitan cities have encountered the crisis of marginalization due to the magnet effects of the core metropolitan city. People, funds, resources and employment opportunities are attracted to these cities. This research is based on a case study which attempts to address how a small city (Nantou City) located nearby the Taichung City develop its own development strategy. The analysis focus on four development aspects: social, financial , industrial, constructional aspects. Furthermore, three research methods—secondary data analysis, focus group interview and Q method—have been adopted to established small city development framework. This study attempts to analyze the development framework of “ Small City” and the border zones in the city regions area. How should a small city defines itself in the position, and look for their unique "selling point" by virtue of their own conditions, in order to be able to seeking its own direction in the fierce competition.
