本研究以臺灣地區各區域經濟成長不均衡之現象為出發點，探討推動臺灣 地區經濟成長之製造業於中部地區之發展情形，試圖尋求有利於中部地區 發展之產業，以帶動中部地區之經濟成長，縮短區域間發展差距。研究內 容主要係利用集中係數、雜異化係數分別探討各類製造業分佈地區集中分 散趨勢及地區內製造業發展動向；以區位商數探究地區之基礎產業，以相 對成長分析比較各業別於區域及全國之相對成長速度；並結合移轉分配法 得出各地區之主力產業及深具發展潛力之區，最後，配合區域投入產出分 析與未來產業發展政策，決定一組利於中部地區發展之產業。研究發現中 部地區製造業之分佈有逐年分散之趨勢，且各鄉鎮市區製造業結構亦傾向 雜異化。較有利於中部地區發展之產業為金屬製品業、橡膠製品業、運輸 工具業、精密器械業及電機器材業等。而各地區製造業之發展潛力則與工 業區之設置有密切關係，可知地方之發展多需藉助政府力量方能達成。 Because of unequilibrium growth phenomenon of Taiwan area the purpose of this thesis is to study the manufacturing development in Central region . Study is intended to discuss some manufactur- ing that suitable for Central region to develop for the purpose of pushing regional economic growth. The methodlogy consists of coefficient of concentration ，co- efficient of diversification，location quotient ，relative growth analysis，shift-share analysis and input-output analysis etc. . These methods are applied to analysis the structure change and spatial distribution of manufacturing in Central region. The findings show most of manufacturing industries are slowly deconcentrated in Central region during the past fifteen years . The relationship between manufacturing development and the estab- lishment of industrial park in Central region is very important. As a result，regional development is very often dependent on government investment.
