碩士 === 國立臺北大學 === 公共行政暨政策學系碩士在職專班 === 97 === Taipei County Government is anticipating to reduce the carbon dioxide emission amount and to reach the goal of “ twenty percent’s reduction in twenty years” through the “low carbon society” works in aspects of energy saving, green transportation, low-carbon living and resource recycling works, which will make the Taipei county to be the first low-carbon living city in the nation. However, Taipei county is the most populous administration region with the population of 3.8 millions, and there is a considerable gap between urban and rural areas. Therefore, we suggest planning it in a strategic point of view. The perspective of Bernard Boar (2001) in strategic planning is adopted in this research for analyzing the strategy planning of “low-carbon society” promulgated by Taipei County Hall. The main research methods in this report include literature research and in-depth interviews: Currently, the related literature reviews on “low carbon society” are mainly based on UNFCCC (United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change) and Kyoto Protocol. In addition to the review on related literatures both from local and abroad, we also refer to the attachment one of Kyoto Protocol which provides useful policies and measures to guide the major international countries and cities to overcome the global warming problem on the specific practices. Furthermore, we also interview the local governor, central authority officers who are in charge of the related affairs, chief of agencies and project managers who are in charge of local enforcement of low carbon society policies, and all other operational officers, basic level implementation officer who are in charge of the related affairs and so forth to make sure the research is well considered in every aspects. In this research we find that: 1. It is more effective when local government promote the low carbon society works from “household commercial” and “transportation” department and it is also more productive when promoting with economy incentives. 2. The result of low carbon related policies implementation is depend on the determination of the local governor. 3. Local government should aim to foster people’s low carbon living habit in all activities. The main objective of low carbon policy promotion should lay in reducing the future carbon emissions. We suggest that: 1. The local government should strengthen the communication and interaction with Taipower to reach the win-win situation. 2. Legislation of “low carbon society” works and establishment of both central and local agencies to enforce the “low carbon society” related policies. 3. Economy incentives are the most effective way of promoting low carbon society works. Local government can foster people’s low carbon living habit through providing more economy incentives.
