本研究從多核心的城市區域發展理論出發,以新竹都會為案例,討論多核心城市區域發展與合作的問題。首先探究中央政府對科學園區的重要性與策略性作為;其次,從地方尺度切入討論新竹縣、市與苗栗縣的土地開發,如何與科學園區產生勾連,實踐的過程背後又隱藏著那些縣市合作的矛盾。最後,從跨層級合作的角度檢視園區與縣市首長高層會議,分析此會議的發展脈絡,解析園市會議後期淡化的原因,並在跨層級的斷裂下,又造成那些土地過度消耗與生態浩劫等土地開發造成的社會衝突。本研究嘗試回答以下三個問題: 一、從全球與國家的尺度,回溯中央政府面臨國際競爭壓力下,如何領導科學園區創建,帶領台灣科技產業發展,而後分析2000年全球科技產業泡沫化,中央政府面臨此危機有何策略性作為? 二、從地方的尺度,檢視新竹縣、市與苗栗縣於科學園區發展後,如何藉由科技的想像,實踐地方都市開發策略,並討論政治劃分且競爭的過程,新竹都會是否得以達到區域整合? 三、從多重尺度角度,探究中央政府與地方政府追求產業競爭力的過程中,新竹科技都會治理制度的挑戰以及實踐後的現實為何?
Based on the development theory of polycentric urban region, the study will use Hsinchu Metropolis as a study case to argue the problem of development and cooperation of polycentric urban region. First of all, the study will investigate the central government’s important polices and strategic actions over Science Park; secondly, in accordance with local scale, the study will talk about how the land developments in Hsinchu County, Hsinchu City and Miaoli County connect with Science Park, and, behind this connection, what contradiction existed between counties and cities; at last, from the viewpoint of cross-level cooperation, the study will review Science Park Administration, Hsinchu County, and Hsinchu City Heads Meeting and analyze this heads meeting’s developing context and examine the reason that makes the heads meeting become dull, as well as after the broken of cross-level, what conflicts caused by land over consumption and over exploitation. The study tries to answer the following questions: (1)From the perspective of global and national scale, the study will recollect how the central government, under the pressure of global competitive, led to establish Science Park and develop Taiwan’s technological industry. Then, the study will analyze what strategic actions that the central government takes to deal with the global crisis of technological industry bubble bursting in the year of 2000. (2)The study will review, from the perspective of local scale, after the development of Science Park, how Hsinchu County, Hsinchu City and Miaoli County perform locals’ urban development strategy through an imagination of technology. The study will also discuss whether Hsinchu Metropolis can reach regional integration during the process of political division and competitive. (3)In terms of multiple scales, the study aims to explore, in the process of pursuing industrial competitiveness, how the central government and local government deal with the challenges of Hsinchu Scientific-Metropolitan governance system and what the reality is after accomplishment.
