| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立政治大學 === 地政研究所 === 95 === The implementation of farmhouse institution has been 6 years since year 2000. From the official statistics, the individual farmhouse is still the main choice for farmers. This reveals that the cluster farmhouse which adopts and promotes by government authority has some shortcomings. In addition, the owners who own cluster farmhouse are nothing to do with agricultural operation. These may result from the rules and enforcement of cluster farmhouse. Therefore, this study conducts a comparative analysis of formal and informal rules of individual and cluster farmhouse so as to understand the reasons why farmers do not choose the cluster farmhouse with incentives provided by central government. The main conclusion and policy suggestions for farmhouse are as follows:
1. The transaction costs including searching cost, policing cost and enforcement costs for individual farmhouse is much low than that for cluster farmhouse. In addition, the incentive provided from government for cluster farmhouse is not enough. The above two reasons lead to the result that individual farmhouse is the main choice for farmers.
2. The advantage of individual farmhouse is the freedom of varied style choice and low transaction cost while its shortcoming is safety problem and lack of public facilities. The advantage and shortcoming of cluster farmhouse are opposite from individual farmhouse.
3. The implementation of farmhouse is influence by the lack of adaptation of local government, professional comprehensive and election pressure so that the implantation is different from the original basic concept of farmhouse.
4. Policy recommendation:
（1） To review the original basic concept of farmhouse and to encourage the cluster farmhouse together with country district rather the scatter development.
（2） To review the definition of farmhouse so that all the farmhouse can be use for agricultural function instead of accommodation.
（3） To cancel the tax exemption for farmhouse that is not use for agriculture so as to prevent the opportunity behaviors.
（4） To unify the responsible authority in central government so as to prevent the agency problems of implementation.
