高鐵延伸屏東之不利處境與困境

The Unfavorable Situation and Dilemma of the High-speed Rail Extension to Pingtung

高鐵延伸至屏東，由高雄左營站跨越高屏溪進入屏東六塊厝設站，全長17.5公里，興建經費約554億元，預定9年完工，延伸後保留再延伸之可能性，循序漸進推動環島高鐵。本文主要目的在於探討高鐵設站於屏東六塊厝，將面臨規模不經濟之處境與困境，因偏離高雄都會核心，也與屏東市區有相當距離，而都市是產業、運輸路線與人口集中地，是現今經濟活動舞台，捨人口高密度區再造新鐵道與場站，服務運量將大受影響。透過文獻資料分析法，理解背景、說明現況、推測未來，回顧過去台灣交通建設，就高鐵延伸屏東之緣由及屏東地理位置與人口分布等，說明鐵道運輸之特徵與台灣人口結構改變等趨勢，結合環島高鐵等相關資料訊息，提供結論與建議。

The high-speed rail extends to Pingtung, from Kaohsiung Zuoying Station across Gaoping River to Pingtung Liukuaicuoshe Station, with a total length of 17.5 kilometers, the construction cost is about 55.4 billion yuan, and is scheduled to be completed in 9 years. After the extension, the possibility of further extension is retained, and the round-the-island high-speed rail is promoted step by step. The main purpose of this article is to discuss the diseconomies of scale and difficulties faced by the high-speed rail station in Liukuaicuo, Pingtung. Because it deviates from the core of the Kaohsiung metropolis, it is also far away from the urban area of Pingtung. The city is where industries, transportation routes, and population are concentrated. It is the stage for economic activities. If the high-density area is rebuilt with a new railway and station, the service will be affected. Through the analysis of literature and data, we can understand the background, explain the current situation, and speculate on the future. The reason for the East, the geographical location and population distribution of Pingtung, etc., explain the characteristics of railway transportation and the trend of changes in Taiwan's population structure, combined with relevant information such as the high-speed rail around the island, and then provide conclusions and suggestions.
