Abstract Administrative division contains a string of complex questions. It does not only contain the simple concept of the division of regions, but the formation of the ideology of residence towards regions and the fairness of national resource distributions. However, followed by administrative division, the original administrative district still may not develop well as expected due to the change of time and space. By the analysis of the 5 major frameworks of administrative law, I found out that since the merger of Kaohsiung city and county in 2010, the transition of the environment has diluted and allocated the resources inappropriately. It leads to an unbalanced regional development because the people can not be satisfied with inadequate resources. However, the problem is that the current administrative division can not tackle the problems. It¡¦s a great loss that a reasonable and appropriate plan has not even been conducted for the administrative division of Kaohsiung. Moreover, the scale that administrative division covers in local districts is so comprehensive that it de facto influences the right and obligations of people. Therefore, the legal system of administrative division should be improved and adjusted. By this study I found out that Kaohsiung City should consider the overall development and related factors to assess the whole situation with a profounder perspective. By the expansion that brought by the merger of administrative districts, the resources will be more adequate so as to meet the need of people. With the local features of each administrative district, transport communication can be extended, as well as the space greening and beautification. As a goal-oriented activist, the district governors should dedicated to increasing the service quality and efficiency of district offices for people. Followed by the balanced development, local features and the enhancement of overall development, Kaohsiung City can become the leading city in Taiwan with easy access to administration, balanced resources and limitless development.

Cette thèse a pour objet l'étude des collectivités territoriales françaises. Entre empilement des structures et enchevêtrement des compétences, le paysage local est très souvent critiqué. L'objectif est de s'interroger sur l'avenir de ces structures dans un contexte de bouleversement territorial. Deux collectivités sont particulièrement concernées par cette recherche : les départements et les régions. Le constat d'une dualité politique est avéré et les tentatives de rapprochements sont légion. Pour autant de nombreuses difficultés ne permettent pas de créer de véritables articulations entre ces deux entités. Face à ces éléments, il apparaît nécessaire de dresser un constat général de l'organisation territoriale actuelle dans un paysage local français complexe. Chacune des collectivités territoriales s'est insérée différemment au sein des territoires et les contours de chacune d'entre elles seront étudiés sous l'angle principal de leur statut juridique. Cependant, l'aspect politique des différentes collectivités territoriales permettra de donner une vision différente de ces structures. Avec l'influence des élus locaux, les collectivités territoriales se situent au coeur de l'action publique. Depuis plus de trente ans, par les différentes dispositions législatives intervenues en la matière, le paysage local n'a cessé de se transformer au point qu'il apparaît actuellement comme bouleversé. L'étude propose plusieurs pistes de réflexions en vue de faire évoluer les collectivités territoriales et de les doter d'outils juridiques leur permettant d'être mieux représentés au sein des territoires. / This thesis is about the research of French territorial communities. In between piled up stuctures and confused abilities, local landscape is often criticized. The main aim is to examine and question the future of these structures in a context of territorial diruption. Two communities are especially concerned : territorial and administrative divisions and territories. The report of a political duality is true and the attempts to come together are numerous. So far, multiple difficulties do not allow to create true articulations in between those two entities. Facing those elements, It's necessary to elaborate a general established fact in a complex French local territory. Each one of those French territorial communities are at the center of the public action thanks to the local elected représentatives. Within the different legislative arrangements which happened, the local landscape has been changing for more than thirty years and now seems to be upside down. Several tracks of thoughts are offered in order to change in a better way the territorial communities and to give to them legal Tools allowing them to be better represented among territories.
