Abstract
As an approach for maintenance, development, and distribution of resources in human society, every system implies its specific political and economic differentiations. The fundamental reason for these implicit traits attributes to the implication of specific “bias.” In the recent years, the zone expropriation is the most popular way for the government in exploiting lands. The management of the land after the zone expropriation concerns with the distribution of the profits. Therefore, this essay applies the perspectives of the theoretical analysis of politics and economy of the system to explicitly illustrate the formation, the operation and the transition of the zone expropriation in Taiwan.
In Taiwan, the operation of the zone expropriation transformed several times with the development of politics. First, the zone expropriation system formed the confiscated frame when there was a mark-up under the authoritarian regime. Continually, with the shift from the authoritarian regime to the stage where the cooperation of the landlords and government were involved, the system turned into the “pay-for-land” zone expropriation. Afterwards, in the democracy phase, the “public-private partnership” is applied in zone expropriation that the land holders, the government, and the exploiters were involved. The gains and losses of the executor are involved in the implicit deviation between systems in the different periods. Accordingly, the transition revealed that the development of the zone expropriation system and the vibration of the politics and economy were highly related.
Owing to the cooperation of the landlords and the government in the “ pay-for-land” zone expropriation, the government should take a collaborative attitude toward the distribution of the ratio of pay-for-land. Moreover, the government should not aim to pursue the interest, but reinforce the function of the reservations on contemporary zone expropriation system. Since the zone expropriation is one form of the expropriation, the government should take public benefit into consideration when making policy. In addition, due to the limited function and finance conditions, the government should carefully evaluate the necessity of exploiting the zone expropriation when the governors inevitably use the non-governmental resources. For instance, the PPP mode which was carried out in the construction of Hua-Zhong Bridge BT was feasible when the monopolistic problem could be diminished. All in all, to weigh the benefit of land holders, government should face the problem of land comprehensive development (zone expropriation) and should integrate the zone expropriation system with urban land consolidation.
