| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立成功大學 === 都市計劃學系 === 105 === This study aims to evaluate the “Rural Rejuvenation Plan” implemented by the rural rejuvenation communities in Kaohsiung, Taiwan. The study used mixed methods to evaluate the program by evaluating the plan quality of the community rejuvenation plan and the conformance of plan implementation. First, plan quality was examined by coding the content of the plan and compare with the progam goals to evaluate its quality and community performace. Second, descriptive statitics were used to evaluate the conformace of plan implementation. Finally, this study examined the factors that influence plan implementation through direct observations and in-depth interviews with the stakeholders.
The study found that (1) the communities’ Rural Rejuvenation Plans were written based on the guildelines of the Rural Rejuvenation Act. The plan focused on economic development and put less emphasis on the social dimensions of the rejuvenation, including the community organizations and the residents’ sense of belonging. (2) Plan quality did not affect plan implemtation, which means communities’ certain needs were different from their annual implementation projects. (3) Factors affected plan implementation came from both internally and externally. Internal factors included: the mixmatch between plan and actual needs, the level of residents’ participation, the copmplexity of land tenure in the rural area, the continuaity of community leaderships, the lack of financial and planning knowledge.External factors contended: administrative loadings, strick project specifications, instutional arranegemnts and coordination, and resource allocations from the program administration offices.
The results of this study wish to provide empirical evaluation results for the Rural Rejuvenation and offer recommendations for the policy makers and planners to manage the performace of Rural Rejuvenation policy.
