The policies and beliefs of community development in Taiwan underwent significant changes after being affected by the Comprehensive Community Building Policy proposed by the Council of Cultural Affairs.The policy went from the concepts of building fundamental engineering projects with a top down wards angle to stressing the independency of communities and anticipating the community building associations to take the responsibility of fulfilling the community’s needs of all levels in order to achieve sustainable development of the community .However after more than a decade of putting effort into independent community building, it appears to many experts that there still exist several bottlenecks in Taiwanese community building projects.

Some scholars consider the necks in community building resulted from the Taiwanese definition of a community as one small single area,which can lack resources and participation, and can also be overlapping in areas with other administrative areas like villages and districts, leading to confronting positions and struggles between different parties . In order to solve the problems related to single communities with small areas , experts , scholars , public organizations and civil organizations have been promoting the working concept of “coalitive community”to bring further developments in Taiwanese community building. Coalitive community are valued as they join resources of communities and function as a whole , bringing up the abilities which can lie beyond the communities and raising participation , enhancing the communities’ development. The Ministry of Interior implemented the “Competitive Flagship Project for Community Welfare”to encourage local governments to integrate their respective local communities, propose innovated cross - community projects involving at least five communities, aiming to have coalitive community promote the flagship projects and lead newly built communities into promoting community welfares together and help enhancing newly built communities’ abilities of all aspects.
To understand the cooperative functioning and achievements of the coalitive community formed by the flagship projects , this research is conducted with qualitative research and interviewed in dept two coalitive community which participated in the Ministry of Interior’s Competitive Flagship Project for Community Welfare”, a total of ten community officials and government officials of related cities of counties.The motivation and anticipation of participating in the flagship project and the experiences of taking part in promoting coalitive community were examined to find the explanation of the preparations and cooperating process of promoting coalitive community and understanding the helping and negative forces of having a coalitive community in function. Finally based on the findings, the research aims to offer advice on policy and actual affairs as a reference of future promotion works for the project.

After examining the promoting experiences of the two coalitive community,results reveal that (I) positive elements of coalitive community developments during the preparation and starting stages are: 1. Conduct orientations and inspections to prepare the community for participation in coalitive community. 2. Arrange for an able and respected leader to lead the coordinating tasks of the project.3.Invite willing and enthusiastic cooperating communities to form the coalitive community. 4. Insert experts’ guidance to offer technical support. 5. Make clear plans and coals to lead the works. (II) The positive elements during actual execution of the project include: 1. Build a public, transparent and trusted organization to gather common views.2. Have a liberal union leadership to promote harmony. 3. Divide tasks in detail to effectively complete coals. 4. Have project managers to promote affairs. 5. Have public organizations offer resources when they are insufficient. The negative forces for coalitive community promotion include:1. Funding: Insufficient funds,late funding and complicated governmental funding procedures can cast pressure on communities. 2. Participation : The participants are of an older age group and only a few officials are participating. It is difficult to pass on the experience. 3. Talents: The community did not raise enough talents for required tasks. 4. Affairs : A variety of events are taking place and manpower and focus are divided . 5 . Resources : It is hard to gather enough resources to keep the project running for a long time.

From the above findings , to build a system which effectively helps the development of coalitive community , the advice to the central government are as follows: 1. Raise the rate of subsidy funds and issue funds more quickly to remove pressure on the communities. 2. Strengthen the guidance of promoting flagship projects with coalitive community for better promotion of community welfare. The advice to local governments are as follows: 1. Establish community professional ability training centers and take responsibility on counselling and labor training in the community. 2. Value the community's needs, listen to the people's voices and encourage active proposals from the community.3. Increase community works related knowledge in fundamental local government organizations. 4.Prefectural and city governments should authorize local government organizations so they have access to funds and resources.5.Prefectural and city governments should actively integrate propositions from communities to raise overall abilities of newly built communities . The advice to communities are as follows :1. Value the raising of talents in the community to pass on the knowledge and experiences to achieve sustainable development of the community.2.Raise local participation and strengthen the structure and access of the resource network.3.Carefully select the cooperating ommunities and stress on the mechanism of communities making propositions in turns.4. Excise the fundamentals of cooperation and create long-lasting relations.
