Summary: | 碩士 === 國立高雄師範大學 === 地理學系 === 101 === There are many studies about "industry cluster" in Taiwan, but most of them are around the theme of "geographic proximity". As a matter of fact, "people" and "institution" are more dependent on the exchange in the real economic environment. This situation decreases the cost ratio of production decline and, increases the social cost. Even in a similar environment and material conditions, due to the different evolution in "institutional change" and "path dependence", the development of regions will develop into distinct spatial structure. This paper uses "the packaging and testing industry of semiconductor industries in Nanzih Export Processing Zone (NEPZ)" as the research object: the formal institutions, informal institutions and path dependence affect the growth mechanism of self-local innovation? The research investigation has begun in July, 2011 until now. The interviewees include the Export Processing Zone Administration and the firms of packaging and testing industry. The study result, we found: the cluster effect about the packaging and testing industry, which surround by Advanced Semiconductor Engineering (ASE) and Orient Semiconductor Electronics (OSE), is formed by the production network in Nanzih. And different size firms which have different business thinking will dominate their degree of vibrant economy. Otherwise, the long-term evolution of the export processing zone institution attracts industry to the area. Not only can the firms save the expenses of land and factory building but also they can focus on developing their business. The guidance from policy and trust from private network will promote the packaging and testing industry in NEPZ to flourish.
