臺日地方創生政策形成的探討：政策理念學習觀點的比較

Examining the Formation of Local Revitalization Policies in Japan and Taiwan: A Comparison of Policy Idea Learning Perspective

源於日本的地方創生一詞，近年來積極為臺灣所採用。惟在跨國學習日本該政策的同時，多數研究集中在探討地方產業創新的策略，較少論及該政策在學習過程中的政策理念，以及這種以人口結構維繫為目標之較長時期政策調整過程背後所具有的反思意義。本文將從人口結構穩定目標中的日本地方創生政策出發，透過政策自我學習與對外學習理論的檢視，探討該政策在日本社會脈絡中所具有的特殊性。另一方面，臺灣作為地方創生政策的後進學習國家，其承襲了什麼樣的既有脈絡？在該脈絡的影響下，它對地方創生政策的學習產生了什麼樣的結果？本文嘗試歸納該類社會再造政策學習的重心，進而有機會回應其所設定之永續目標。

Originating from Japan, the local revitalization policy has been actively adopted by Taiwan in recent years. However, while Taiwan has embraced this policy name, most of the research has primarily focused on exploring strategies for local industrial innovation, with less attention paid to the policy idea of this cross-national learning process and the reflective significance behind the long-term policy adjustments aimed at maintaining population structure. Starting from the objective of stabilizing population structure, this paper aims to examine the unique characteristics of Japan’s local revitalization policy within its specific social context, specifically through the lens of policy learning theories—encompassing both internal self-learning and external policy borrowing. Furthermore, as Taiwan is a follower in adopting local revitalization policies, it is essential to understand the context it inherits. Within this context, what results have emerged from Taiwan’s learning process about the local revitalization policy? This paper sought to derive a focus point for effectively learning such societal reconstruction policies and addressing their sustainable objectives.
