以運作與功能視角評估我國區域創新系統之發展歷程

An Analysis of the Development History of Taiwan's Regional Innovation System Based on an Evaluation Framework Established from a Functional Operational

本研究為進行多年期之階段成果，在前一年度對於區域創新系統（Regional Innovation Systems, RIS）與經濟韌性（Economic Resilience）做探討並提出有別於過往研究的評估架構系統，本年度研究著重於再檢視RIS於不同發展階段的運作與功能演化，並以新竹科學園區與南部科學園區及其周邊地區為實證對象。
過去相關研究多以主體、網絡與制度三要素分析RIS，但本研究認為該架構難以反映主體角色在產業創新活動發展歷程中的角色轉變與知識密集型服務業的影響，因此重新建構「運作—功能」分析模式，將RIS中各主體的運作劃分為「生成」、「探勘」、「應用」與「擴散」四項功能面向。研究方法為以前一年經專家意見篩選後所建立的評估指標為底，透過蒐集兩科學園區的歷年統計資料進行實證分析。研究結果顯示，不同區域因產業結構與發展階段差異而展現不同的功能主導性，其中「生成」功能在整體系統中被視為最關鍵面向，也在各指標的綜合表現中最為複雜，顯示基礎創新能力對區域持續成長的重要性。竹科在金融海嘯事件後建立了更穩定的經濟韌性策略，而南科則因量產導向及產業集中度較低，面臨較高的外部衝擊敏感度。整體而言，本研究除補充RIS文獻在韌性視角下的理論不足，亦為我國科技園區發展策略與區域創新政策提供具體參考。

This study builds upon previous research on Regional Innovation Systems (RIS) and Economic Resilience, aiming to re-examine the operational mechanisms and functional evolution of RIS across different stages of development. The empirical focus is on the Hsinchu Science Park (HSP) and the Southern Taiwan Science Park (STSP) along with their surrounding regions. While earlier studies have commonly analyzed RIS through the triad of actors, networks, and institutions, this research argues that such a framework fails to adequately capture the transformation of actor roles and the influence of knowledge-intensive business services (KIBS). Therefore, this study reconstructs an“operation–function”analytical framework, dividing RIS functions into four dimensions: generation, exploration, application, and diffusion. Based on evaluation indicators developed in the previous phase, this research collects and analyzes longitudinal statistical data from both science parks to conduct empirical analysis. The results indicate that regional differences in industrial structure and developmental stage lead to varying dominant functional orientations within RIS. Among these, the“generation”function emerges as the most crucial and complex, underscoring the importance of foundational innovation capabilities for sustained regional growth. The HSP has established more stable economic resilience strategies since the global financial crisis, whereas the STSP—being production-oriented with a lower level of industrial concentration—remains more vulnerable to external shocks. Overall, this study supplements theoretical gaps in the RIS literature from a resilience perspective and provides concrete implications for Taiwan’s science park development strategies and regional innovation policies.
