Since the declaration of Taiwan Local Self-Government Guidelines, the era of local self-government has launched. Due to the various level of dependence on development among counties and cities in the past, the differences among regions deepened. Besides, under the influences of the political centralization, the urbanization caused by economic development, and the preference on directly governed city region in the term of financial distribution, the distinctive features of the local government have not been fully dominated. Therefore, though the system of local self-government has been implemented for 50 years, the result turns out insignificant under the limitations of laws.
In addition, since the Local Government Act was promulgated in 1999, it is considered the important fundamental guideline to fulfill the conclusions of National Development Conference. With the implementation of Local Government Act the county and municipal governments are supposed to be equipped with self-governance laws in the operations of the divisions of personnel, financial affairs, and organizational management, so that they will have abundant resources to exert their functions as self-governments. But six years has passed by since the implementation of Local Government Act, how much does the blueprint of cross-century organization modification law exert its functions ? And what assistance is offered to contribute to the whole development of counties and cities? The answer lies in the voice of self-governments of counties and cities. Based on the above-mentioned grounds, this study has been conducted.
This study aims in the discussion of the authorization changes brought by the implementation of Local Government Act. This study plans to set up the implementation as the experimental group, while the situation prior to the implementation as the comparative group. Through the study, it is to be seen whether the implementation of Local Government Act meets the original goal. Tainan City is taken for the example in this case study. Literature review has been conducted in the analysis of the four vital indicators, including the divisions of personnel, organization, financial affairs, and legislature. The impact made on these four divisions are to be discussed. Besides, detailed interview is also the research method. That is, seven municipal councilors and four first-class supervisors are interviewed. Their responses are adopted and analyzed to realize their attitudes toward the reform. How do they feel about the reform? Are there any defects within the reform? Through the experimental survey, the correctness of the above literature review can be examined, and modest modification or reform can be presented properly. On the basis of literature review and the results of conducted interviews, whether the original goals are fulfilled can be proved.
Before the implementation of Local Government Act, self-governments have no rights over the matters of personnel, organization, finance and legislature. After the implementation, self-governments turn to have more rights over the matters of personnel, organization, and legislature except over the matters of finance. In conclusion, to enhance self-governance law, fully authorization over financial matters should be offered so that the prosperous future is expected and we will build a better and more vigorous government.
