行政區劃計畫提案及審議爭議處理機制之探討

A Discussion on the Proposal and Dispute Resolution Mechanism for Administrative Division Planning

行政區劃的目的，係為便於施政而劃定之地方自治團體或地方政府機關之治理範圍。我國的行政區劃，自1949年國民政府遷台之後，因故遲遲無法立法，2000年之後，我國雖然有兩波直轄市改制運動，但其改制的法源並非行政區劃法。官方與民間最關切的鄉鎮市區的行政區劃調整，始終沒有推動的合法化根據。
2025年10月，立法院終於三讀通過了行政區劃程序法，如無意外，明年七月以後，我們應該可以看到地方政府啟動行政區劃的改造。行政區域的調整涉及政府與人民之間權利義務的改變，也影響政府與政府間的法律地位與政治安排，面對調整過程可能帶來的四種類型爭議，雖然這些爭議只是我們對於未來的臆測，本文仍然嘗試分析這些爭議的可能原因，並且提出可能的解決方法。

The purpose of administrative divisions is to define the governing scope of local self-governing bodies or local government agencies for the convenience of governance. In Taiwan, since the Nationalist government relocated to Taiwan in 1949, legislation on administrative divisions has been delayed for various reasons. Although there have been two waves of municipality reform movements since 2000, the legal basis for these reforms is not the Administrative Division Law. The adjustment of administrative divisions in townships and cities, which is of greatest concern to both the government and the public, has consistently lacked a legal basis for implementation.
In October 2025, the Legislative Yuan finally passed the Administrative Division Procedure Act in its third reading. Barring unforeseen circumstances, we should see local governments initiate the reform of administrative divisions after July next year. The adjustment of administrative regions involves changes in the rights and obligations between the government and the people, and also affects the legal status and political arrangements between governments. Facing four types of disputes that may arise during the adjustment process, although these disputes are merely speculations about the future, this article still attempts to analyze the possible causes of these disputes and propose possible solutions.
