| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立成功大學 === 政治經濟學研究所 === 98 === By using Policy Networks as an analytic method, This research intends to explore how environmental impact assessment (EIA) system reveals the power structure and the network relationship to which the Actors attached due to resource dependence, and evaluate the connection between EIA and development, and transformation of local environmental governance. There are two main parts of this
research : Firstly, to focus on the benefits and value to stakeholders who involved in EIA procedure , resources dependence patterns and how its strategic action to affect
outcomes, and to understand the structure and dynamic process in EIA. The second part of this research is that the regulation of EIA system supplies the environmental
groups with the incentives of power, resources, and benefits etc. Meanwhile, it shapes. In addition, the law of EIA makes EPA has the right to deny the project makes the public has the legitimacy to join the review process, it helps the stakeholders play important roles on the project. So, by surveying the relevance between EIA and actors
with the network structure, we can understand the institute function to local environmental governance development and transformation. According to the comparison between two typical cases study, I found that the consideration of the
proponents and opponent combine to community to strong organized influence by resource dependence and power reliance, and take strategic actions to achieve their
goal in the local governance structure. And the public participation mechanism in the process of environmental policymaking make actors have more space to expose. In
addition, The government-constraints EIA process also contributed to the opponents sub-networks shows the autonomy. Whatever, due to the asymmetry of information
and resource, and the politic and Electoral mobilization factors, formal meetings as the main platform of governance networking are short of governance mechanism that
can lead to mutual consensus, alliances and confrontations among sub-governance network have great influence on the development of co-governance mechanism. Finally, according to the transformation approach, transformation of local
environmental governance in Taiwan is limited to the initial conditions of EIA, and actors? different resource advantages, and the causality lead to antagonistic
sub-networks to seek opportunities to influence EIA and decision-making results. Historical institutionalism regarded the causality as「Path dependence」.
