本文共分八章、二十四節、計有圖六幅，表三十五帖，並附有問卷一份，共約十二萬言。第一章緒論，除敘述研究動機與目的、研究方法與範圍外，並略論基隆市概況。第二章研究侯選人本身，免敘述本省侯選人是怎樣產生的、有些什麼特徵，然後分析他們的動機行為。第三章概括的說明競選活動，從競選活動的理論，論述至法規中的規定。第四章正式針對基隆市候選人競選活動加以說明，從競選費用。競選組織著手，最後將競選活動方式加以比較分析。第五章純粹從分析的眼光來看基隆市侯選入競選活動，其中包括賄選、競選經費與其他條件的關係、競選勝敗的因素與競選活動的策略與技術等。行文至此，對於侯選人競選活動的研究己告了一段落，因此至第六七兩章則轉入研究直接參與選舉的「團體」。第六章先研究基隆市地方派系，除追述起源、演變、形成外，主要看重於其在五七年基隆市地方選舉時的活動情況與影響。第七章緊跟著敘述中國國民黨的輔選佈署，並特別以基隆市黨部的輔選動員過程與內容為例，加以深入說明及檢討。 基於以上的敘述、分析與瞭解，筆者深感這一外來的選舉制度，在缺乏民治思想的我國社會中，雖然已經生根，但距開花結果尚有一段距離; 並且亦領悟到民主政治若只有精神而無制度，固屬雜亂無章因而無法運行，但若只有制度而無精神，則更是虛弱無力因而弊病叢生，故筆者在第八章結論中。同時注重民主制度與民主精神兩方面，提出如何端正選風辦好選舉的建議，以就教於高明。

財政為庶政之母，都市財政困難將使一切建設停頓，一九七五年美國紐約市發生財政 危機以來，對世界各國大都市產生極深遠的影響；我國台灣地區五大都市（台北市， 高雄市、台中市、台南市、基隆市）都市化程度極高，都市財政亦隱藏著無比的壓力 ，本文即在探討該五大都市財政收支結構之現況與檢討其缺失，並分析其自身財源籌 款努力程度，圖藉此以支應支出日益膨脹的壓力。結果顯示基隆市財政不健全外，各 都市籌款努力均不足，今後解決財政之道，唯有求諸自身財源。 首章為緒論；第二章為都市化與都市財政問題；第三章為都市公共財之內容與供需理 論；第四、五章為五大都市財政收支結構之分析檢討；第六章為五大都市籌款努力之 分析；第七章為結語與建議。

基隆，一個早期興盛的貿易港口，在搭乘著郵輪來台的日本老婆婆眼中，這個港口似乎還留著她年輕時所見的繁華過往。隨著產業變遷及全台各地後起發展，基隆不再是唯一貨港，反而隨著逐年興起的旅遊業，成了大量郵輪的停靠岸。基隆像是停留在過去的時空中，與現今全球都市的均一化成了極大的反差對照，但卻也因此而保存了自我的地域風貌。 近年來城市興起一股以設計、創意為主導模式，企圖帶領都市走出一條有別於以往的思考模式，都市不再是以大量開發及建設做為金流指標，而是轉向由居民的互動參與及凝聚在地情感的生活指標，城市改由在地出發，重新思考如何在價值與價格、保存與開發、過去與未來中找到平衡。 本研究以基隆市中心為研究範圍，由設計思考模式以發覺、發現、發想、發展四個過程，經由反覆的發散與收聚斂過程，透過城市五行循環與制約特性中建構出平衡機制，分別對標竿案例及研究案例做分析。在標竿案例以美國紐約High Line Park經由城市五行分析其轉化歷程發現其成功是來自於多向的平衡機制。而在研究案例以基隆市中心區域分析在城市五行運行中所導出的問題及找出問題背後的關連性，透過城市五行診斷及分析為基隆市中心的再生提出具體建議。最後經由案例分析中驗證城市五行的歸屬。 / Keelung, a trading seaport boomed in late nineteenth century under the Japanese colonial era, seems still having its former glamour and busy days in the eyes of an old Japanese grandma, who just embarked from a docked cruise liner at the port in present day. Due to the change of core industrial transformation in Taiwan and the raise of other ports, Keelung is no longer the only trading seaport in the region. It has transformed to a popular cruise line destination from the recent increase in the tourism business demand. Contrast to other global cities’ modern and urban movements, Keelung looks like a city staying unchanged from its earlier days. Also because of this frozen in time, the city was able to preserve its charms and geographic terrain. During the recent decades, design thinking and creativity have been the leading model for city development. The intention behind was to create a design concept from a different thought process. Urban development is no longer targeting massive development and construction nor valued by the economic growth. Instead it is focusing on residents’ interactions within and the quality of life for the community. A city is transforming into local communities; and trying to find a balance between its value and price, between conservation and development, and between past and future. The scope of this project is downtown Keelung City. Use design thinking to review the project in four stages: Discover, Define, Develop, and Deliver. From repeated divergence and convergence processes, through the cycle of five elements (in the city) with mutual generation and mutual restriction properties, a balance was formed. The comparison analysis was conducted between the High Line Park Project and this Keelung City Project. First, utilizing the five elements in the city, it was found that the success of the High Line Park project was due to a formed balance between these five. Second, the Keelung City project emphases on using the cycle of five elements to diagnose and analyze the problems and the connections between these problems among smaller sections of the downtown area. In addition, through the diagnosis and analysis, a recommendation was outlined for the Keelung City regeneration. Finally, detailed cases of the project confirm the matching category between the five elements and the city.
