Summary:碩士 === 世新大學 === 行政管理學研究所(含博、碩專班) === 91 === The objective of this thesis is to understand the recognition, attitude, and behavior of the network participants on the dispute over the topic of surrogate motherhood, and to discuss the interaction model between each network. Hopefully, it acquires the course of policy development over diversity and complexity of the topic, and discovers the impact on the policy, in order to have win-win situation. The research would base on policy network style differentiated by Rhodes, to coordinate the characteristic of the topic, and to divide policy network into policy community, professional network, producer network, and issue network. The objects are the general public and woman’s group from the issue network, and obstetrician group from producer network, and also the professional scholar from professional network, to proceed with questionnaire. In addition, to carry out in depth interview with government official from DOH, legislator, professional scholar, infertile, woman’s group, children’s welfare group, in order to collect the opinion over the topic, and the condition of mutual interaction. From the standpoint of support, other than the tendency of support by the obstetrician’s group, the other three are tending toward opposed position, which the woman’s group has the strongest opposition. Moreover, in speaking of the degree of openness, condition openness is the choice by most people. In addition, to analyze by hypothetical question, woman’s group has expressed that they would definitely not change their original attitude to whether support or not, despite knowing the fact that their friends or relatives may be disturbed by infertility. As for the planning suggestion for the future, that “law should include the right and the obligation for the infertile couple and the surrogate mother” was the focus concerned by everyone. The interview result has shown; woman’s group by far is the most contact individual for communication, at the same time, to participate in public hearing is the most common way and interaction mode. Moreover, to contact through interaction has enable DOH, Chen, Janice G T, woman’s group, obstetrician’s group, and legislators to have even closer network. The questionnaire and interview information has also shown, even though questionnaire said that there are still many doubts over the topic, but part of those who take action has explained that society should respect personal value; under the lack of motive and resource for network participation, it’s hard for the general public to enter the network, this kind of phenomenon has also become the hindrance for those who wish to enter the policy community.
