我政府為配合「振興經濟方案」的推動，刻正積極規劃釋出大量農地，以供工業、商業、住宅、公共設施等非農業部門使用。然農地乃一珍貴之自然資源，注重整體生產環境之維護，任何之變更轉用皆應謹慎衡量。本研究即以此為中心理念，分析目前我國農地釋出之決策程序是否合理及所面臨之問題，並以德國之經驗及相關機關訪談結果，綜合研擬改進方向與配合措施。茲扼要說明其內容如下： 　　第壹章、緒論。首先揭櫫本研究之動機與目的所在；其次陳述研究內容與方法；再界定本研究之範圍與限制，解釋農地釋出與決策程序所指為何，並繪製研究流程圖，以明瞭研究之理念與程序。 　　第貳章、理論基礎與文獻回顧。本研究以公共政策研究領域常見之理性決策理念與模型為理論基礎。並檢討回顧有關文獻，以指引本研究之研究方向。 　　第參章、我國農地釋出相關問題之探討。本研究之重點在於理性決策模型所設定之決策程序中，關於決策所需資料之建立及相關對策之擬定等是否理性客觀。藉由農地變更之概況及相關法規、政策等之檢討，發現農地變更或釋出時，乃以經濟及建設為主導，往往忽略農地非經濟層面之功能。 　　第肆章、中德農地釋出決策程序之比較分析。以上述為基礎，選取包括農地之功能定位、農地釋出之規劃機關與效果、農地釋出之法源依據、農地釋出參與過程等課題，作為中德比較之課題。發現德國視農地為一珍貴自然資源之定位、賦予地方規劃自主權、國土綜合開發法之明確規範、農業結構規劃資料之提供、決策過程兼顧各方意見（制衡原則）..等優點，實值得參酌。 　　第伍章、我國農地釋出決策程序改進方向之研擬。在建立決策所需資料方面，需調整農地之功能定位、建立整體農業現況調查及農業相關規劃之完整資訊..等；在擬定相關對策方面，應在國土綜合開發計畫法（草案）上訂定各種土地使用之基本原則..等。 　　第陸章、結論與建議。綜合各章節之探討，提出精簡之研究結論與建議事項。 / In order to evolve the economic growth the Government in Taiwan perform " Program of Economic Restoration" by releasing a remarkable amount of argricultural land to non-argricultural use to solve problems of high land price and land acquisition for private sector. But argricultural land means a very valu-able natural resource. It needs to be evaluated carefully when making a decision to convert argricultural land to non-argricultural use. This study intend to analyze the rationality and problems within the procedure of decision-making for "farml and release" in Taiwan and Germany, and propose policy recommenda-tion. This include the following contents: 　　Chapter1 lntroduction: To explain what are "farmland release" and "procedure of decision-making", and the restriction of this study. 　　Chapter2 Theoretical Basis and Literature Review : This study apply "Rational Decision Model" to the analysis of procedure of decision-making. 　　Chapter3 Problems on Farmland Release in Taiwan : Economic growth and development are emphasized in land-use. This cause the ignorance of the functions of argriculture land,especially the contribution on non-economic level. 　　Chapter4 A Comparative Analysis on The Procedure of Decision-Making for Farmland Releas in Taiwan and Germany : All persons or groups concerned play an active role in the procedure (top-down bottom-up procedure) in Germany..and so on. 　　Chapter5 The Recommendation on The Procedure of Decision-Making for Farmland Releas in Taiwan : The non-economic func-tions of farmland need to be emphasized in " Territorial Deve-lopment Planning Law" (draft)..and so on. 　　Chapter6 Conclusion: Making a comprehensive comment accord-ing to the contents above.

人口在空間上分布的差異形成集中發展抑或分散發展型態，相對地對於地方財政的支出亦有不同程度的影響。在現今台灣省各地方政府普遍存在著財源短絀之情形下，農地釋出政策的實施所造成都市規模的擴張，是否會引發地方財政加重的趨勢，實有深究的必要。因此本研究的目的，乃在於探討都市空間結構的差異對公共支出的變化影響效果，並進一步提出土地發展政策涵義。 　　針對上述，本研究擬藉由人口密度斜率此變數，作為都市空間結構之指標，進而瞭解都市發展型態之差異對地方公共支出的影響。所謂人口密度斜率乃是隨著距離的增加，人口在空間上的變化情形。其次，以中位數投票模型理論及官僚模型理論為基礎，建立模型並進行測試，同時為因應農地釋出政策的實施，在台灣省各市鄉鎮都市計畫區農業區釋出的假設前題下，進行模擬分析。 　　經本研究結果發現，就總體而言，台灣省各市鄉鎮目前之都市空間結構有分散發展的趨勢，並有無效率的現象；次就農地釋出而言，在不考慮人口規模聚集經濟的情況下，過多的土地開發，將會有惡化現存地方財政不足之趨勢。 / The difference of population spreads in the spatial will result in the pattern of concentrated development or dispersed development. Oppo-sitely, the difference pattern will influence to local public expenditures. On the condition that the local government often exists short tag of finance in Taiwan, so to practice policy of agriculture land release which should result in the extension of urban scale whether will increase the final burden or not, has necessary to discuss. Thus, the propose of this study is to discuss that the difference of urban spatial structure has what effect of change influence to pubhc expenditure, and father want to propose the meaning of land development policy. 　　As above that, this study uses the population density gradient to be the guide of urban spatial structure, and then want to understand the difference of urban development pattern has what influence to local public ex-penditure. Population density describes how rapidly the density falls off with distance. Next, based on the median voter theory and bureaucracy theory to built the model and test it, then for to practice the policy of agriculture land release, this study on the assumption that all agriculture area of urban planned area will be released in Taiwan progresses simulation and analysis which wants to know the influence of agriculture land release. 　　According to the result of this study, we find, fister, the present con-dition of local public in Taiwan, urban spatial structure has the tend of dis-persed development, and cause to nonefficiency. Second, if the agriculture land release do not consider the agglomeration economics of population scale, then to development too many lands will worse present local final.
