| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立臺北科技大學 === 環境規劃與管理研究所 === 95 === Since 1999 the government has been promoting private operation of public affairs. In line with the policy, the Industrial Development Bureau, Ministry of Economic Affairs has proceeded with a pilot OT scheme for the wastewater treatment plants in three industrial park under its jurisdiction since 2001. Thereafter the Construction and Planning Agency, Ministry of the Interior has also launched BOT scheme for the public wastewater and sewage system. Of the 39 wastewater treatment plants established in the 37 industrial park under the jurisdiction of the Industrial Development Bureau, Ministry of Economic Affairs, BOT has been completed with respect to seven up to 2004, including Douliu, Quanxing, Fangyuan, Xinzhu, Renda, Dali and Guanyin. Since this is the first case of BOT for wastewater treatment plants in industrial park in Taiwan, whether the policy is correct and the wastewater treatment plants are properly operated and managed or not has given rise to much controversy. As a result, implementation of the BOT policy governing wastewater treatment plants in industrial park has ceased since April 2004.
Focusing on the policy of operation and management of wastewater treatment plants in industrial park, this study aims to examine the operation and management of the seven wastewater treatment plants for which BOT has been completed by the Industrial Development Bureau, Ministry of Economic Affairs and also to compare wastewater treatment plants before and after BOT from administrative, legal, and financial perspectives. Moreover, the plants in Xinzhu and Guanyin are also analyzed to evaluate whether the BOT policy is correct or not. Reference is also drawn from local and overseas researches, cases and practices, and strategic recommendations are offered to the authority concerned for reference.
In conclusion, the BOT policy is correct. Besides saving human resources and expenditure from Industrial Park Development and Management Fund and improving on the financial deficiency of the fund above, the policy can also help advance the development of developing environmental industries in Taiwan. Moreover, by introducing the concept and mode of management prevalent in the private sector and comparing to other self-operated wastewater treatment plants, the policy may enhance the overall performance of wastewater treatment plants in industrial park.
