五都時代臺中市提升國際競爭力策略分析：全觀型治理觀點

Taichung City's International Competitiveness Promotion Strategies in the 5 Special Municipalities Era-A View of Holistic Governance

21世紀初期的全球化變遷，致使國家職能分散、引領發展與治理能力大幅衰減；城市則快速崛起，跨越人為的地理疆界，進行直接與多面的競爭活動。2010年底，臺灣透過行政區劃改革，調整了長達30年的2直轄市結構，建立「5個直轄市、7個發展區域」新態勢，同時賦予「5都」對內整合區域資源、對外提升國際競爭力的領頭羊角色。臺中縣市在此次改制過程合併成為新直轄市後，一方面將擁有整合發展要素、規劃總體策略之契機；另方面也必須肩負起做為國內主要核心城市之挑戰，以適切的發展定位搭配（跨縣市）區域合作之思維，在全球、（國際）區域、國內等多層次的動態時空結構，重新尋求新的發展契機，以期達成區域共榮之目標。本研究係以全觀型治理為研究途徑，綜合相關學理與實務資料，以提出臺中直轄市提昇國際競爭力之治理策略。所謂全觀型治理，特別強調政府應在空間、部門、功能等三個面向，積極推動各種整合施政策略，方能有效因應並解決各項複雜的公共議題，其理論的構成要素，能有效對應「跨層次、跨功能、跨部門」的發展態勢與政經結構特質，進而引導全局策略之提出。在空間面向的連結，臺中直轄市應尋求適當定位進行標竿學習、倡議爭取港市合一、累積申辦國際賽事經驗，並提升公共服務國際友善性；而在功能面向的整合，則需營造城市文化意象、有效管理生態資源、建構可行捷運方案；至於部門面向的協力，則要強化治安防範網絡、並發展休閒飲食、醫療旅遊等生活產業。

Global transformation in the initial years of the 21th century has reduced and separated the capabilities of the state. On the other hand, cities have risen up to become the center of global competition. Taiwan has adjusted its administrative division through a series of reformation by the end of 2010, creating a new structure of 5 Special Municipalities. These municipalities are expected to take the responsibility of engaging in global competition, and promoting cooperation in the nearby region. As one of the newly promoted special municipality, Taichung will have a chance to rearrange its strategies and developmental elements, and face the challenge for all domestic core cities- to find new grounds for development by applying new strategic position and promoting regional cooperation in the multi-level international sphere.To present an international competitiveness promotion strategy for Taichung, this research will adopt a holistic governance approach. Holistic governance theory claims that spatial, sectoral and functional integration is the solution to complex public issues, these three elements also correspond to the”spatial, functional and sectoral coordination”feature of current international trend and structure. Comprehensively integrating theories and praxis, this research concludes that spatially, Taichung should adopt benchmark learning, advocate city-harbor integration, accumulate experience on holding major events, and enhance the international friendliness of its public service. Functionally, Taichung must establish a cultural image, effectively manage its ecological resource, and set up a feasible transportation program. As for sector collaboration, Taichung must enhance its security network, and open up the potential of local leisure food industry and medical-tour services.
