Formulated under the Forward-looking Infrastructure Development Program, the Regeneration of Historic Sites Project is funded through a special budget of the Taiwanese government and overseen by the Ministry of Culture. This project responds to the emergence of various cultural governance initiatives by integrating cultural preservation with local development, thereby creating an innovative governance model. Implemented since 2017, the project has already shown promising preliminary results. From the perspectives of public administration (governance structure) and project management, this study analyzed eight completed subprojects of the Regeneration of Historic Sites Project by exploring the dynamic interactions between management levels and third-party advisory groups in the cyclical process of proposal submission, execution, and rolling revisions. The relationships between project outcomes and the governance characteristics of local governments were also examined to optimize public administration strategies for project management. This study establishes an ideal model for cultural governance based on three-party collaboration, which may serve as a framework for evaluating the effectiveness of intergovernmental collaboration in project execution. Additionally, it identified various patterns of intergovernmental collaboration and assessed the effect of third-party involvement on project outcomes. Accordingly, three key findings are presented as follows: (1) Cultural departments typically exhibit three notable weaknesses in implementing cultural governance; (2) The positive or negative effects of third-party interventions are closely related to the intergovernmental collaboration models adopted by the local executing units; (3) A potential conflict exists between the principles of cultural governance under the Regeneration of Historic Sites Project and those of local governance. These findings can serve as a starting point for the systematic analyses of governance mechanisms in the preservation and utilization of cultural assets. They can also inform the design of mechanisms for the allocation of special budgets or project-based subsidies by the central government as well as offer strategic references for local governments seeking to adjust governance structures and enhance administrative capacity through special budget allocations. |
