Finally, we used policy science to compare the differences of the policies which they are facing. The results are summarized as follows: 1. Fishing villages are the major settlement in coastal areas and they support the development of local fishing industry in both Taiwan and Japan, as they possess rich offshore resources. For long they show distinguished values such as sustaining development of fishing industry, protection of the marine environment, border surveillance and cultural diversity. In recent years science the fisheries decaying have impact on traditional fishing villages, thus they make it and urgency for fishing villages to transform and regenerate. 2. In Taiwan, the key points of the fishing villages regeneration strategy are: (1) to encourage transformation and promotion of traditional industry by demonstrating regional cultural values (2) to upgrade facilities and welfare improving (3) manpower training of fishing village rejuvenation department through incubation projection (4) establishing funds for fishing village regeneration. The main ideas of the regeneration are bottom-up participation in regeneration and shall complete the training course of manpower training plan, before eligible to prepare the rejuvenation plan. 3. In Japan, the key points of the regeneration strategy of fishing villages are: (1) promote and transform the fishery (2) promote the aquatic products (3) to utilize natural resources of fishing villages (4) improve the environmental and facility of the harbor and the village (5) disaster-prevention capability enhancement (6) promote the communication between city and fishing village (7) talent cultivation and enhance the techniques and management of fishery (8) labor environment improvement. 4. The differences between Taiwanese and Japanese regeneration strategies is that in Taiwan fishermen establish the rejuvenation plan after complete the training course of manpower training. In Japan, The Ministry of Agriculture help to set up a revitalization project. On the rejuvenation fund, the community applies to the central government after discussion. As for Japan, a local government unit is in charge of the project and it is also where the duty to apply for a subsidy goes to. 5. The differences of “industry development and rejuvenation” between these two countries: (1) Our country devotes to industrial revival and developing leisure fisheries, but leisure fisheries seems unsafe for Japan. (2) Resource restoration is also added to the fishing-village regeneration program in Japan. (3) Unlike Japan, we don’t have a strict quality control for aquatic products and therefore causes the loss of consumer confidence. 6. Similarities and differences of “regional functions” between these two countries: (1) Our country devotes to development of fishing community but lacks improvement of the integration of its peripheral facilities. (2) Japan positively promote the symbiosis and communication between city and fishing village. 7. Similarities and differences of “manpower training to fishing-village regeneration” between these two countries: (1) Both encourage the youth to return home. (2) Our country trains villagers to take part in the regeneration project themselves through the incubation program. (3) Japan offers opportunities for long-term fishery training, strengthening the management capabilities and techniques of newcomers. 8. The financial use of fishing-village regeneration is relatively wider than Taiwan, covering fishery and its correlated industry in fishing villages and nearby counties. Yet the budget is precisely compiled by subsides, objects and plans to learn about the achievements of the program. On the other hand, our use of funds give emphasis to improvement of the fishing community, which is not very comprehensive compared to Japan.
