摘要

本文以台灣蝴蝶蘭産業的经驗研究爲例，探索由资本主羲界定的全球化所形成的區域與區域規劃的認識論的變遷。以發展方式來界定全球化進程與區域時，蝴蝶蘭個案顯示當前資訊主義下的文化消費的活體商品生産，乃呈現了農業發展方式、工業發展方式與資訊發展方式的多重組合：生物性商品的自然條件限制，被生産技術標凖化轉化爲能源使用與産出最大化的衡量；藉由生物資訊運用的雜交育種、資訊技術運用的市場路通、大量生産技術標凖化組織的垂直分工網絡，使産出最大化的地理安排能快速因應不同市場偏好的供貨要求，形成全球産銷網絡；而台灣則以新産品創新與産品週期的掌控，以及因應不同品種制定標凖化生産技術的能力與彈性的合能綜效，而位於這個網絡中的節點。在時空壓縮的策略中，越來越重要的是，流經節點的資訊與技術在節點被處理被流動的品質。從而，區域規劃不再僅是資源分派與固著的地域性層級議題，而是一個以網絡爲分析單元、具有流動特徵的區域策略與治理體系的課題。

Considering a region as a territorially defined labor market, what's the regional transformation of local agriculture in globalization? The authors present a case study of the orchid industry vis-à-vis rural development in Taiwan and address a transformation of the concept of regions and regional planning caused by the global flows of information and technology. Applying the concept of 'mode of development' (MOD) to review the technology arrangement of Phalaenopsis (moth orchid) industry in the informational and consumption age, the empirical study reveals that the production-and-trade network of Phalaenopsis industry is multiply embedded in agricultural, industrial and informational modes of development. That is: via standardization of production technology, natural bio-constraints of plants has been transformed in terms of energy cost and output maximization; also, through artificial hybridization breeding using bio-information, bio-control of plants growth, market expansion contributed by telecommunication progress, vertical disintegrated production network contributed by standardization of mass production technology, the arrangement of output maximization has been transformed into a production-and-trade network on global level in order to quickly respond market preference and shape new market demands. And based on synergetic effect of combining new product creation, manipulation of product cycle, and the ability and flexibility of technology standardization for various varieties, Taiwan has become a node of the network. In time-space compression strategies, how and how well the information and technology are arranged when flowing through the node that has become fundamentally important. Therefore, regional planning is no longer merely issues of resource allocation and fixing on local level; instead, it has become issues of regional developmental strategies and governance, characterized by flows.
