在短短不到二十年的時間,新竹科學工業園區已經成功地孕育台灣高科技產業的發展,也促使政府更加強調“以發展知識與技術密集產業來帶動台灣整體經濟成長”的產業政策,並設置了第二個科學園區―台南科學工業園區來推動台灣高科技產業的持續成長。本文以第二個科學園區自從擬議初始、到動土興闢、及接受廠商申請投資過程的種種資料作為基礎,來探討台南科學工業園區未來可能的發展軌跡與特性,並從中央政府主導角色的轉變、地方政府的積極參與、與新產業網絡的形成等三方面來比較其和新行科學工業園區的發展差異,此外,本文也透過兩個科學工業園區設立與開發的政經脈絡,來說明台南科學工業園區的發展經驗將是有別於新竹科學園區的發展版本。
For less than two decades, the Hsinchu Science-based Industrial Park has successfully become the cradle of high-tech industries in Taiwan. It strongly enhances confidence for Taiwan's government in adopting the high-tech development policy. The second science-based industrial park, the Tainan Science-based Industrial Park, was established in 1996 to continue the progression of Taiwan's high-tech development. The purpose of this paper is to examine the possible features of the Tainan Science-based Industrial Park from three perspectives in comparison with the Hsinchu Science-based Industrial Park. First, the engine for the Tainan Science-based Industrial Park is the private sector, rather than the state. Second, establishment of the Second Science Park is no longer just a matter of the central state and private enterprises. The local state has been actively participating in the developmental process since its initiation. Third, there are some new industrial networks emerged in this newly created high-tech space. All of these will significantly make the development of the Tainan Science-based Industrial Park another version of science park development, either in Taiwan or around the world.
