網羅型城鎮及其不滿──羅東鎮空間發展史的回顧與批判

“Bāng-Lô”Township and Its Discontents: A Retrospective and Critical Analysis of Luodong Township s Spatial Development History

本文以宜蘭羅東鎮為案例，提出「網羅型城鎮」概念，探討地方如何在行政邊界高度限制的情境下持續追求發展。本文聚焦於：在積累邏輯主導的發展模式下，羅東鎮如何被形塑為一個區域性節點？掌握規劃論述與資源調度能力的地方政治群體如何想像發展？本文之研究方法結合檔案文獻分析與生命史書寫，重構羅東空間發展的歷史脈絡。本文發現：首先，羅東的發展歷程深受殖民時期資源榨取與空間規劃影響，形構出以基礎設施與自然資源流通為核心的城鎮地景；其次，面對空間飽和與法規限制，地方政治群體雖無法正式突破行政邊界，卻透過發展論述與政策語言，試圖鬆動制度框架，挪用既有土地資源並延伸發展想像，反映出對發展邏輯的質疑與不滿，顯示空間治理過程中潛藏的衝突與排除。總體而言，羅東鎮的空間發展是一套發展主義治理邏輯的實踐現場，其過程中充滿協商、鬥爭與對未來的想像重組。

Using Luodong Township in Yilan as a case study, this article posits the concept of a“Bāng-LôTownship,”exploring how localities pursue sustained development under highly restrictive administrative boundaries. This paper asks: Under a development model dominated by accumulation logic, how has Luodong Township been shaped as a regional node? How do local political groups with mastery over planning discourse and resource allocation envision development? The research method combines archival document analysis and life history writing to reconstruct the historical context of Luodong’s spatial development. The findings reveal: First, Luodong’s development trajectory has been profoundly influenced by colonial-era resource extraction and spatial planning, forming a townscape centered on infrastructure and the circulation of natural resources. Second, facing spatial saturation and regulatory constraints, local political groups, unable to formally break through administrative boundaries, have attempted to loosen institutional frameworks through development discourse and policy language, repurposing existing land resources and extending developmental imaginaries. This reflects doubts and dissatisfaction with developmental logic, highlighting latent conflicts and exclusions in spatial governance processes. Overall, Luodong Township’s spatial development serves as a practical site for developmentalist governance logic, filled with negotiations, struggles, and reconfigurations of future imaginaries.
