This study analyzes the power distribution in urban politics before and after the lifting of martial law and explores the development values of urban elites through social network analysis of structural equivalence. For resource dependency analysis, this study used data from four policy networks (urban affair discussion, trust, technical advice, and resource exchange) that were collected from 78 urban elites and 8 critical urban development events in Taichung City. Analytical results show that (1) urban growth is not a dominant developmental direction for local elites in Taichung City. (2) The core of the urban development policy network is occupied by Block 2, the administrative sector in the Taichung City Government; the mayor is the most powerful block in urban development policy and scholars are isolated and located at the periphery of the policy network. (3) Finally, since actors in different positions accept the ideas of citizen participation and decentralization, the urban regime in Taichung City after the lift of martial law has become increasingly diverse and dynamic. |
