碩士 === 國立臺灣大學 === 政治學研究所 === 102 === There are administrative regions reform for part of counties in R.O.C 2010. It is commonly known as the five municipalities restructuring, which is revealed to adjust its administrative divisions of R.O.C government. Including upgraded administrative reform (upgraded Taipei County to the New Taipei City), merger restructuring reform (merger of Taichung City and Taichung County and upgraded to the Taichung City; merger of Tainan City and Tainan County and upgraded to the Tainan City), and merge with existing municipality (merger of Kaohsiung City and Kaohsiung County and upgraded to the Kaohsiung City) were the new restructuring and measures implementation December 25, 2010. This is the first large-scale administrative region adjustment since the retrocession of Taiwan where set up 5 provincial cities and 16 counties 1950. There are thousands of reasons for reform of upgrading the Taipei County to the New Taipei City. Basically, the main reason is to meet with the problem by uneven treatment of the former Taipei county residents due to different local government hierarchy gap although there are only across one river with Taipei City. After the reform of New Taipei City,the issue of financial management and administrative areas adjustment was wildly considered and discussed in academia, but how to continue the effective development of competitive strategy is rarely discussed. Adjacent to the capital, Taipei City, and surrounded by the New Taipei City, such capital-neighborhood dual city mode were similar with Tokyo Prefecture - metropolitan area in Japan, and Seoul – Gyeonggi in Republic of Korea. Whether land area and the resident population of the New Taipei City are more than Taipei, and there are lots of same issues have to face with such as rising prices, transportation (such as metro network), the environment (Tamsui River Basin), infrastructure (emerald water reservoir maintenance), etc. The research topics of discussion for regional management, including positioning, development strategies have been the urgent need to discuss for whether the two cities should be merged into a metropolis. Freedom, innovation, opportunity creating and a vision of prosperity are the expectation for the universal city. There are different between Taipei (the city with internal reputation) and the New Taipei City (the young city with international potential development.) due to the capital status of Taipei in the past. In this study, the theories of urban governance and development strategies shaping competitiveness would be discussed in the new point of view starting from the New Taipei City, and refer to the operational status of capital-neighborhood dual city mode of Japan and Korea. The development of strategies of the feasible proposal would be proposed under the existing competitive environment and the city location of the New Taipei City.
