Geographies of Taiwan's Civil Aviation Industry:the Path Dependence Approach / 臺灣的民用航空運輸地理:路徑依賴的取徑

碩士 / 國立臺灣師範大學 / 地理學系 / 99 / The geographies of the world-wide air transport industry have been dramatically restructuring, as entailed with deregulation, enhancing competitiveness and the intensified processes of globalization in the world economy. Such global shift of air geographies varies in terms of space, place and locality based on its historical processes. Since emerged in the Japanese colonial era (1895-1945), and then governed by the Nationalist Party fled to Taiwan in 1945 to now, the civil air transport has developed Taiwan as one of important nodes among the Asian airports. This paper attempts to examine the changing geographies of the development of civil aviation industry from 1945 till now in Taiwan, via focal lens on path dependence in Evolutionary Economic Geography to decipher how the space of civil aviation industry has been shaped and evolved in Taiwan. This paper argues that the development of civil aviation industry relies on the geographic location, technology, institutions and territories which are intertwined with the local political and economic environment and global contacts. Established in, restricted to and inherited from the Japanese colonial era, followed with the policies of US Aid in the Nationalist Party ruling regimes, Taiwan's civil aviation industry is accordingly adopted adapted over time. In the meanwhile, the establishment of Taoyuan International Airport articulated, the Taiwan’s industrial transformation in the late-1970s, and the relational assets among Japan, America, and mainland China promoting the value enhance and capture.
