現行臺灣農村發展政策以「農村再生條例」為主,這套由條例衍生的農村再生機制施行已三年,值得予以檢討其執行成效。而在農村發展策略上,除了常見的「內生」與「外生」模型以外,近年來另有所謂的農村發展的「第三條路」被提出來。此「第三條路」拒絕「外生」或「內生」的傳統二元觀點,強調農村發展的地方內與地方外的力量應互為作用,為農村發展策略提供了新思維。以農村發展模式檢視臺灣農村發展歷程及農村再生機制並進行分析,結果發現,農村再生機制大致符合「第三條路」的內涵。 農村發展的「第三條路」引用了行動者網絡理論 (Actor Network Theory ) 使第三條路的觀念更清晰,今透過共榮社區推動農村再生的過程進行個案研究,發現其適合以行動者網絡理論解釋分析,網絡運作成功促使農村發展持續進行。但是其他問題需要更深入的分析與更多的個案研究,才能清楚地確定農村再生機制於農村發展的妥適性。
Taiwan's current rural development policy is based on“Rural Rejuvenation Act”. The rural regeneration mechanisms derived mainly from“Rural Rejuvenation Act”have been implemented three years and deserve to review the effectiveness of its implementation. Following the debates about exogenous and endogenous development,“the third way”of rural development that stresses the interaction between the local and external forces in promoting the developmental processes is useful to understanding approaches of rural development. Adapting the viewpoint of the third way, this paper reviews the way of rural development in Taiwan, and examines rural regeneration mechanism in Taiwan. The results found that rural regeneration mechanism in Taiwan is broadly in line with“the third way”. The basic concept of the third way has been sharpened by the actor network theory (ANT). The paper conducts a case study in Gongrong community. The findings show that ANT is suitable for the regeneration process in Gongrong community. A good network operating promotes more successful rural development. However, there are many issues need more in-depth analysis and case studies to clearly examine that the existed regeneration mechanism is appropriate for Taiwan rural development.
