This case occurred in 1994 and there are several controversial issues in the case, such as factors making the Lo-Sheng become the construction location of the MRT, factors influencing the case, and the extents to which the stakeholders changed. Our research uses literature review to summarize the Lo-Sheng case and uses path dependency perspective of historical institutionalism to discuss the fundamental factors of the case thereby structuring the “Casual relationship diagram of the development of Lo-Sheng case.” We also detect Sinjhuang resident’s opinions concerning factors influencing the Lo-Sheng case and how these factors affect the case thereby summarizing and analyzing the case. The article adopts both quantitative and qualitative method to understand the opinions hold by stakeholders. Our research shows following results: (1) Factors affecting the development of the case include critical juncture, institutional reproduction, and reactive sequence; (2) The extent to which Sinjhuang residents’ behavior changed: 1. Compared with females, males show more support for reactive sequence; 2. Compared with people who has other education backgrounds, one who has master or above education background show more support for reactive sequence; 3. Residents who aged between 41-50 show more positive identification toward the case than ones aged between 31-40; (3) The casual relationship of the development of the case: 1. Relationship between critical juncture and institutional reproduction is valid; 2. Relationship between institutional reproduction and reactive sequence is invalid; 3. Relationship among critical juncture, reactive sequence, and the extent to which the behavior toward the case changed is valid.
