碩士 === 國立中山大學 === 政治學研究所 === 107 === At the end of 2010, Taiwan’s local autonomy entered a “New 5 Municipalities” era, and all the municipal “districts” have adopted the bureaucratic system. Due to failures, such as the lack of adaptation to the local conditions and the inability to respond to the public’s opinions, an unprecedented, violent changes and adjustment took place in the municipalities that underwent city-county consolidation. Subsequently, Ministry of the Interior had proposed the amendment of the “Local Government Act”, which passed the third reading at the Legislative Yuan, to ensure the indigenous people’s political participation rights protected by constitution and simultaneously responded to the opinions of the indigenous society. Following the amendment, the sources of laws and the rights to implement local autonomy were officially given to the municipal mountains indigenous districts and took effect at the end of 2014. Since then, the situation of “One Country, Two Systems” and “One City, Two Systems” existed within the district systems of the municipalities in Taiwan. The district systems of 2 municipalities, namely Taipei City and Tainan City, used the “single-track policy” of the bureaucracy. Whereas the district systems of 4 municipalities, namely New Taipei City, Taoyuan City, Taichung City, and Kaohsiung City, used the “double-track policy” that the non-indigenous districts were bureaucratic system and the indigenous districts were democratic election system. This study selects the “Small-scale Construction Projects of Alleys below 6 Meters” in the bureaucratic system of Liouguei District and the democratic election system of Maolin District. Both of these districts are located in Kaohsiung City. At the same time, this study uses the 6 evaluation standards of “effectiveness,” “efficiency,” “adequacy,” “equity,” “responsiveness,” and “appropriateness” in policy evaluation theory to compare and analyze the differences in the individual implementation results of “double-track policy” adopted by the municipal “districts”. After the comparison and analysis of those evaluation standards, this study obtains the following findings: 1. An evaluation of the implementation of the Small-scale Construction Projects of Alleys below 6 Meters for the double-track policy in Kaohsiung City’s “districts” ,the result is that democratic election system is superior to the bureaucratic system. 2. According to the experience of autonomous development of democratic national municipal districts, all the municipal “districts” in Taiwan should be adopted the democratic election system. 3. The real key problem ,lack of the municipal mountains indigenous districts’ autonomous finance, is that the inability of the relevant laws, such as the “Act Governing the Allocation of Government Revenues and Expenditures”, is adapted to and complied with the amendment progress in the “Local Government Act”. For this reason, focusing on the shortcomings discovered by this research, suggestions such as “The Establishment Of Multiple Channels For Feedbacks Petition Case,” “Establishment And Publication of The Performance Of The Small-Scale Construction Projects Of Alleys Below 6 Meters In Different Districts And Villages,” and “Re-planning And Redesigning The Autonomous Financial Resources Distribution Structures Of The Autonomous Groups In Different Areas” are proposed. These suggestions are made for the district offices, Kaohsiung City government, and the central government to use as references in their future improvements.
