After the Second World War, Taiwan had at beginning of industrialization dependent on the financial aid and technology innovation from America and Japan. And by 1980s, Taiwan had become manufacturing giant, and the growth seem to be well balanced. However as with all the developing countries, the amazing economic growth is not without it’s price. Like most of the developing countries, Taiwan is ill prepare to deal with the problem cause by the remarkable economic growth, especially the environmental problem incurred by the industrial production. Since 70s, Taiwan had been developing the IT industry. In 1992, price fall, firms began to look for producers whom were able to produce high quality products at low cost, and they found Taiwan with all the requirements. The feasibility of this development has not been properly investigated. Environmental problems at Hsinchu Science-based Industrial Park are traffic congestion, air pollution, groundwater and land contamination, pollution of rivers etc. Those problems result from the lack of capacity in dealing with industrial waste, imperfect information lead to ineffective regulation, lack of proper waste management. Although there are cost and benefit to the successful high tech industry, most are ignored about the negative externality spin off from the capitalistic production; economic analysis of this problem could help us understand the issue in depth.

As a new economy emerges, driven mainly by information technology, we have seen global expansion and prosperous development from the United States. During the last 10 years, research into the increasingly important issues posed by globalization has been carried out in all divisions of the social sciences. As a widely accepted and used concept, however, the word ¡§globalization¡¨ does not guarantee a greater understanding of the world. An existing analytical structure still dominates studies of globalization, and it reveals that current standpoints and mindsets of specific academic disciplines have caused many debates. For example, Held et al (2001¡G3-19) proposed five major controversial globalization issues worthy of study: ¡§conceptualization of globalization¡¨, ¡§causal relationships of globalization¡¨, ¡§definition of the globalization period¡¨, ¡§impact and influence of globalization¡¨, and ¡§trace the development of globalization¡¨. This study focuses on how Taiwan¡¦s science and industrial parks affect Taiwan¡¦s domestic economy and vision with their positioning, transformation, and future development in the competitive global market. China¡¦s gigantic and attractive market and Taiwan¡¦s current political limitations mean that globalization and regional coopetition are indivisible issues for the purposes of this research. Science parks in Asia have become a fast-rising clustering phenomenon as the largest in the world in this new century, and one result has been Taiwan¡¦s success in the global electronics (wafer fab) industry. Currently there are three major science (industrial) parks in Taiwan, located (by order of establishment) in Hsin-chu, Tainan, and Taichung. All three are important bases of Taiwan¡¦s scientific industry. The contribution of these parks to Taiwan¡¦s GDP has increased in each of the 26 years of their development. This study aims to reconstruct the competition model of Taiwan¡¦s science parks from the view point of data processing. This research will also analyze the maintenance of Taiwan¡¦s economic advantages and influence of these government-supported parks¡¦ development mechanism on the nation¡¦s economy in the midst of a fast-changing global business environment, in the hope of continuous, excellent innovation and performance.
