二十世紀下半期台灣358鄉鎮市區人口密度比較：1955-2007
The Population Density of Taiwan in Prefectual and Township Level: 1955-2007
摘要
人口帶來的許多問題，不是源於總人口規模，而是源於人口的集中。本文以人口密度的角度對我國不同空間下歸納一些人口集中趨勢。本文首先整理民國44年至民國96年全台358鄉鎮市區人口密度與平均成長率，並製成人口密度圖、成長率圖以及歷年人口密度趨勢圖以利觀察其中變化。藉由歷年人口密度趨勢圖，統計出各鄉鎮市大致出現逐年衰退現象大都落於民國56年至65年間，此結果證明工業化加速了島內各縣人口逐漸往都市集中，造成城鄉之間人口密度差距拉大。另外，藉由人口密度圖明顯看出台灣都會區人口密度規模呈現擴散現象，以及都會區中心出現飽和衰退情形。此外，擴散現象是否呈現同心圓模式，其部分原因取決於該市級位於同名縣級的方位而定。

Many questions that population brought are not because of the total scale of population, but the centralization of population. This paper generalized the tide of the centralization of population under different space in Taiwan by the perspective of population density. First, we organized the population density and the average growth rate of 358 urban townships from 1955 to 2007, and turned it into population density map, growth rate graph, and population density trends over the years to observe the change. By the population density trends over the years, we found out the phenomenon of declining from 1967 to 1976. This result proved that industrialization speeded up people’s gathering from the counties to the cities; this made the difference of the population density larger between towns and countries. Besides, by observing the population density map, we can see the scale of the density of Taiwan’s metro area appears to spread out obviously, and the center of metro area was declined because it was saturated. Moreover, whether the extension is the pattern of concentric zone model or not, part of the reasons depends on the position of the cities what the higher level of cities are.
