碩士 === 元智大學 === 管理研究所 === 90 === The Coast Guard Administration (CGA), Executive Yuan was established on February 1, 1990. It assimilated personnel from the then Marine Police Bureau, Police Administration, Ministry of Interior; Customs Preventive Ships, General Customs Bureau, Ministry of Finance; and Coast Guard Command, Ministry of National Defense, together with civil servants of other agencies. Because it was set up in a short period of time, there were vast differences in terms of personnel components and a large variety of administrative missions. The legally described jobs such as the formulation of coast guard policies, laws, and regulations; internal organization performance and external coordination; acquisition, training and occupational specialties for personnel; implementation of coast security and enforcement of maritime laws, all of this integration is very complex. To meet the requirements of “restructuring CGA organization within three year period” as stipulated by a Legislative Yuan resolution; to fit the needs of CGA mission, and to re-orientate to the “reengineering of governmental organizations” promulgated by the Executive Yuan, tailoring an ideal and feasible organization structure has become an important mission of the CGA at the present time. This study utilizes and incorporates relevant literature and is based on my personal working experiences at the CGA. It reviews the evolution of Coast Guard security mechanisms in Taiwan since1949 till the Law of Coast Guard was promulgated in January 1990. I investigated different coast defense measures for various periods of time by applying the SWOT analysis method. In addition, I made personal observations and conducted interviews, used questionnaires which were completed by fishermen and military personnel serving in the CGA. Coast Guard defense measures implemented by other countries were also compared. All of the above initiatives were designed to review organizational problems and challenges facing the CGA. Possible solutions were also recommended. Findings of the study: 1.There is some confusion and ambiguity in the nature and status of the CGA. 2.The transformation of military personnel from military to the civilian sector is key to the success or failure of CGA’s organizational redefinition and change. 3.Since Taiwan is becoming a “maritime country” thereby an appropriate protective and security oriented system needs to be developed. We must build a new and reformulated effective Coast Guard institution to successfully surmount the challenges facing the CGA. 4.As reflected in the data gathered via interviews and questionnaires , fishermen─CGA’s main target, tend to have a positive attitude toward CGA.
