台湾的区域均衡与民主发展（四）
Calling for regional balance and democratic development in Taiwan - Part 4
§ 台湾在台北下的政治观点
§ Taiwan’s political view from Taipei’s perspective
台湾经济成就曾经享誉国际，但是从上面的叙述得知，经济的成长已造成这个社会
的区域贫富差距日益严重。缺乏两院制国会的有效监督行政部门，以及政府轻忽区
域的均衡发展，纵使曾为经济繁盛的城市，只因离台北越远，行政机能越递减，而
年轻人口只能留在薪资高的台北，其他城市终将成为边陲。
Taiwan’s economic achievements were once internationally renowned,
however as demonstrated in the previous section, economic growth has
worsened the ever-expanding gap between the rich and the poor in the
society. The lack of bicameral Congress effective supervision of the
executive offices, as well as the government overlooking balanced
regional development, has caused cities that once flourished in economy
to decline in administrative function simply because of their geographical
distance away from the capital, Taipei City. With the younger population
migrating to Taipei with the promise of high salary, other cities continue
to become marginalised.
以台湾屏东为例，从 2010 年以来，人口数已减少 46,930 人。屏东，她位于台湾
最南端，从国民党迁台后，长久以来皆位处于台北政治经济中心的冷淡地位，国
家资源分配比例远远落后其他大型城市。近年来，许多屏东民众忧心他们的城市
逐渐死气沉沉，与此同时，面临国会议员可能减少一席，势必影响屏东民众在
国会的发声权。【 11 】
Take Pingtung, the most southern city in Taiwan for example, the population
has been reduced by 46,930 people since 2010. Situated at the
southernmost tip of Taiwan, it has been regarded as an unconcerned area
to the political and economic centre of Taipei City since the Kuomintang
(KMT Party) moved to Taiwan from China. Pingtung has received national
resources of proportions far less than other large cities in Taiwan. In recent
years, many people in Pingtung are concerned that their cities are becoming
increasingly lethargic, and at the same time, they might lose one congressional
representative in the near future, which will no doubt affect the say of the
people of Pingtung in Congress.【 11 】
在缺乏经济人权与联邦两院国会的宪政制度保障之下，屏东的落后是台湾经济
发展的缩影，只是连公司大部分集中在台北的社会公器即媒体第四权也对屏东
公共议题默不关心，这让屏东的发展更难受到台北官员的关注。
In the absence of economic human rights and the protection from federal
government under the constitutional system, the decline of Pingtung is
the epitome of Taiwan’s economic development. It is highly unfortunate
that this phenomenon has failed to garner the attention of the media
which are mostly situated in Taipei, which makes the unbalanced
development of Pingtung even more difficult to receive the much needed
concern by the officials in Taipei.
有团体透过政府请愿平台，要求将高速铁路建设延伸到屏东，有 6055 位民众
进入网站表示支持（https://goo.gl/34qnUM），一周内就通过平台要求的规定。
一般而言，每项议题通过门槛的机率只有约 4.7% 而已，因此民众发出的强烈
声音引起台湾社会的舆论。屏东县长、许多民间团体相继呼应交通建设不应忽
视屏东。屏东民众对交通建设的诉求如此强烈是因为他们希望享有区域均衡的
发展与经济人权的平等，而政府投资交通建设是一种重要象征，代表政府愿不
愿意改变区域的不均衡以及经济人权的不平等。
Recently, a group has filed a petition through the government petition
platform for high-speed railway construction to be extended to Pingtung.
This petition has received support from 6055 people to date, and has
met the requirement instigated by the government platform within a
week of its initiation.(https://goo.gl/34qnUM) Typically, only about 4.7%
of the petitions would be able to meet the requirements of the platform.
From there, the strong voice of these people has gathered great
interest and attention of the society in Taiwan. The Pingtung county
magistrate, as well as several social activist groups, have echoed
the petition for raising the awareness of the importance of
communication constructions in Pingtung. Residents of Pingtung have
come together on this issue hoping that they would be able to have a
balanced regional development as well as equality in economic human
rights. They believe that the government’s investment in communication
construction would be an important symbol of the government’s
willingness to improve the situation of regional imbalance and inequality
of economic human rights.
台湾长期的资源与政策视角多以台北为中心，并不利人材与资源回到具区位
优势的都会区协助地方产业转型与创新。更多的企业总部与资金往台北都会区
集中，但人口流失、连基础建设、工作机会都缺乏的县市，厂房关闭、
财政恶化、区域间的贫富差距扩大，未来也只能面对难以翻身的困境。
台湾如何面对挑战，建立在区域均衡与机会平等的基础上，对内消弭歧见
及对立，对外联合其他国家更紧密的合作，是这个时代不可或缺的。
For decades, Taipei City has been the prime subject of consideration in
regards of resources and government policies. It does not favour local
industrial transformation and innovation when talents and resources are
concentrated in the more advantageous metropolitan regions. As most
corporate headquarters and funds concentrate in Taipei City, other
regions are forced to face with population loss, lack of funding for
infrastructure development, employment opportunities. As the economy
in these regions continue to suffer, the gap between the rich and the
poor continues to increase. Such hardships would undoubtedly prove
to be long-term challenges for these rural regions.
It is therefore all the more critical for Taiwan to come up with strategies to
face these challenges ahead, to eliminate domestic differences and
oppositions, and to form alliances with other countries on the basis of
the common goal of attaining regional balance and equal opportunities for all.
