本研究透過國外的城市競爭力相關文獻探討發展出適合台灣進行類似調查的初步指標，並對台灣七大城市與都會區進行實證分析，受限於樣本數，本研究採用相關性分析與國外文獻的研究結果進行比較，並針對類似研究進行跨國研究時所會產生的問題提出看法，本研究之結論包括： 1.台灣的創意城市研究以都會區的分法較適宜，熔爐指數需先扣除外勞再進行估計，以產值為基礎之高科技指數之解釋力也較以就業員工為基礎所計算之高科技指數來的具有解釋力。 2.在人種單一的亞洲衡量多元化與包容性，衡量外籍人士比例的熔爐指數並不是個好的指標。 3.使用人才指數來衡量人力素質在跨國比較時容易因為各國教育制度的不同而產生誤差。 4.在台灣創意與人力資源高低相關，而人力資源又與高科技業的分佈情形相關，高科技業影響到就業機會，另一方面高科技業產值越多的地方其外籍人士比例也愈高。 5.創意在台灣社會的影響力不若西方來的強大，創意僅與人力資源高低相關，但對高科技業的分佈、人口成長、就業機會來說都沒有顯著的相關性。 6.台灣的人口成長主要來自於中心都市的外圍，在完善的教育設施輔助下透過交通建設發展，與高科技業、創意、外籍人士均無相關。 / Based on foreign studies, this research developed a set of index to evaluate the relative competitiveness in creativity of 7 major Taiwanese cities and urban areas. Because of sample size, this research only conducted correlation analysis and compared the result to foreign documents. Biases found in cross-culture/nation analysis are also mentioned in this thesis. The main findings are: 1.Urban areas are better than administrative areas in statistical research. When conducting melting pot index, those foreign laborers from Southeast Asia should be eliminated from the data. On the other hand, tech-pole index based on revenue is better than one based on employees. 2.Melting pot index is not a good index for evaluating diversity and tolerance, especially in Asia where population is usually dominated by 1 ethnic group. 3.Talent index may not indicate the real quality of human resource in a country. It is affected by education system which differs a lot between countries. 4.In Taiwan, creativity is correlated with talent. Talent is also correlated with high-tech companies which affects the employment in that area. Foreigners are correlated with high-tech companies as well. 5.Unlike western countries, creativity doesn’t play the same role in Taiwan. It is only related with talent. 6.Population growth is mainly influenced by education facilities and traffic constructions. Those areas out skirting metropolis tend to have higher population growth than usual.
