| dc.description.abstract | Different forms of state rescaling and local government reorganizations—including city-county consolidation, annexation, merge, interlocal agreement, and special district—have been considered plausible strategies to deal with cross-boundary environmental and economic issues, such as climate change, watershed governance, global competitiveness, smart governance, and so on. In Taiwan, national and local governments regard city-county consolidations as one of the effective approaches to deal with the issues. In 2010, three city-county consolidations were approved and conducted, including the consolidation of Tainan city and county governments. For the national government the consolidations is a necessary administrative action in coordination with the needs of national land planning and regional governance, but for local governments the consolidation deeply relates to the issues of local finance, administrative efficiency, spatial governance and development. The results of consolidation will directly influence the life of local residents, the quality of public service and the development of urban and rural areas. From a perspective of regional and rural planning, the benefit of consolidation seems great. Before consolidating, the city and county governments not only lacked coordination, but competed to each other in certain conditions, such as fighting for national subsidies and investments, and eager for industrial and residential developments. The national government expects the consolidation will lead to a more appropriate, cohesive and balanced spatial development and land management in urban and rural areas. Nonetheless, the expected result is not as a matter of course. | |
