Abstract
In recent years, Taiwan has been committed to the implementation of local self-governance. In order to enhance the regional competitiveness the local governments have competed to enhance public facilities, combined with local resources to improve the working and living environment and to promote the quality of local industry as well as the importance of humanities Furthermore, after the lifting of martial law, the local self-consciousness in Taiwan has arisen through the period of transition of authoritarianism and democratic consolidation. Therefore, each district began to realize the significance of local development, from strongly dependent on the central government to the development of unique features of each district. Recently, people have become more involved in public affairs, especially in the local industry and also looked forward to the greater functioning of local government. At this time, the role of local government has become much more significant.
The thesis aims at studying the hot spring industry in Beitou. In point of municipalities, it is no doubt that people’s expectation of the functioning of District Office, which has the closest relationship between people and government, in addition to Municipal Government is rather high. According to the provisions of the Local Government Act, municipalities are divided into districts and District Office can be the first government organization which is directly appointed by Municipal Government. Yet, the function of District Office has to be applied to the guidelines of local administrative authoriti es of the Ministry of the Interior and whether this may violate the autonomous powers of local government is not without doubt. In order to meet people’s expectation, the District Office should transfer its coordinator role of executing policies from the central government to multi-functional role of integrating various municipal services, strengthening its governance capability.
This study discusses how to construct the network through public-private effort to stimulate community involvement, introduce and integrate a variety of local non-governmental resources effectively, form the characteristics of local industry and create prosperity of the district from the perspective of local governance. Besides, due to the integration as well as construction of the district-level governance network, we should rethink whether the autonomous powers should be transferred to District Office. Thus, we can strengthen the functions of District Offices and district-level governments, establish its network management of center governance, create unique features through the strategy of market-oriented management, and promote local industrial development and prosperity.
