本研究以桃園蓮花季為研究對象，針對蓮花季的參與鄉鎮─觀音鄉與新屋鄉，探討其在活動中所運用的公私協力模式，以及地方產業活動的運作型態及其限制。本研究採用質性研究法，以深度訪談法蒐集資料，並就訪談內容進行資料分析，以歸納桃園蓮花季的發展現況與公私協力運作模式。桃園蓮花季舉辦的兩個鄉鎮，其在公私協力運作的差異方面，觀音鄉是採取組織型態運作，並成立愛蓮協會之非營利組織，擔任整合與中介角色，而新屋鄉則屬個人式的運作型態。 研究發現（1）公私協力關係方面：平行公私協力關係因公部門的官僚心態而成效不彰、產業轉型與地方資源整合的重要性、公私部門間應建立溝通機制－非營利組織；（2）地方產業發展方面：地方產業之客觀背景影響公私協力發展模式、公私部門協商管道必須整合中央、地方政府、地方組織與業者合作協商管道，以及應採取互信合作的態度。 而在研究建議方面（1）對政府的建議：改變由上而下的決策模式、公部門對私部門積極輔導是平行公私協力模式發展之基礎、政府應對農民經營園區的協助輔導；（2）對民間的建議：以社區總體營造精神，引導業者投入推動地方產業，達成永續經營的目標、透過合作關係促成鄉鎮合作機制，以帶動地方產業發展。 As a subject of study on Taoyuan Lotus Festival and two of its participating villages, Guanyin and Shinwu, the research is going to discuss the public-private partnership during the festival and the operation of local industry and its limit. Basing on the qualitative research method, the research gathers information and analysis through in-depth interviews to generalize the development of Taoyuan Lotus Festival and the public-private partnership. The two villages differ in public-private partnership when holding Taoyuan Lotus Festival. Guanyin, where a nonprofit organization-the Lotus Lovers Association was founded, is more organized and plays an integrating and intermediary role during the festival. On the contrary, Shinwu manages the festival in a personalized way. The research discovers as below, （a）In public-private partnership aspect: The parallel public-private partnership fails due to the bureaucracy of the public department. However, for the importance of industrial transformation and uniting local resources, the nonprofit organization, which serves as a communicating channel, should be established between the public and private department. （b）In local industry development aspect: Under the influence of the objective background of local industry, both the public and private departments must confer with not only the central and local government, but also local industry and organizations in order to seek a cooperating relationship based on trust. The research suggests,（a）For the government: Change the bureaucratic way of policy-making. Constant guidance and assistance to the private department is the foundation of developing a parallel public-private partnership. For instance, the government should assist the farmers to manage their farm and business.（b）For the people: Make the proprietors invest in local industry for the advance of overall local interest and continuously economic growth. Encourage the cooperation between towns and villages in all cooperating aspects to promote the development of local industry.
