| 摘要: | 台灣地方自治與制度，歷經行政區域調整、精省等民主轉型過程後，目前呈現了劇烈的變動狀況，從地方制度法於2007年、2008年至2009年均有修正，其中又以第四條之修正，使得省轄地方自治團體人口達到200萬人以上者，可以準用直轄市之組織結構與職權、中央統籌分配稅款等，其中以地方自治團體之組織編制、員額職等、財政資源最為重要。 我國目前許多縣市都期待升格或合併升格為直轄市，係因現行組織編制、員額職等、財政資源都發生獨厚直轄市的狀況，因此造成省轄之地方自治團體，在各種公共服務、福利措施、公共工程品質等狀況，均遠遜於直轄市，而對於省轄之地方自治團體產生「一國二制」及不公平之心理態度，因此如何就我國都會的發展做一調整，刻不容緩。 目前台北縣現為唯一一個準用於直轄市相關規定之省轄地方自治團體，本文希冀從法制面、政治面、財政面等面向出發，就改制準用直轄市前後狀況與台北縣市之現狀比較，作為其背景與基礎，進而依SWOT分析。做出三個未來政策方案，即台北縣單獨升格，台北縣、台北市與基隆市合併升格、台北縣市合併升格三個方案。
After experiencing the democratic transition process such as adjustment of administrative districts, streamlining of the provincial government, etc, Taiwan's local self-government and system are now facing a drastic change. According to the Local Government Act amended in 2007, 2008 and 2009, especially the amendment of Article 4 of the Act, the organizational structure, functions and the distribution of centrally allocated tax revenues of special municipalities are applicable mutatis mutandis to the local governments under direct provincial jurisdiction which have a population of over two million, among which, the organizational structure, staff employment allocation by title, rank and grade, as well as and financial resources are the most important. At present, many cities and counties in Taiwan are looking forward to being promoted or annexed into special municipalities. However, owing to the existing organizational structure, staff employment allocation, and the distribution of financial resources are concentrated on special municipalities. As a result, the development of local governments under direct provincial jurisdiction is far behind the special municipalities in various aspects including public services, welfare measures, quality of public works etc., which gives the local governments the feelings of”one country, two systems＂and unfairness. Therefore, how to make an adjustment in Taiwan’s urban development is a matter of great urgency. Taipei is currently the only local government under direct provincial jurisdiction to which the relevant provisions for special municipalities are applicable. This article hopes to make a comparison between the situations before and after Taipei County's being promoted to be a special municipality from the aspects of legal system, politics, and finance, and further to use the comparison results as a background and basis for SWOT analysis. Three policies are formulated for the future development: the promotion of Taipei County alone, the annexation and promotion of Taipei County, Taipei City and Keelung City, and the annexation and promotion of Taipei City and Taipei County. |
