dc.description.abstract | This thesis principally comprises three topics. First, I will discuss the origin and turning point of Taipei City’s Reform Policy, by doing so, I try to possess the viewpoints which the KMT’s leadership treated this event . Second, in research of the controversy of Taipei City’s Reform Policy, I attempt to explain that the reason why it has been postponed. Third, the process of Taipei City’s Reform Policy, which was executed by central government, could clarify the negotiating course between the Executive Yuan and Taiwan Provincial Government.
In 1949, The ROC government relocated to Taiwan, Taipei city’s character has been different from the period of Taiwan Provincial Government. However, the KMT government replaced the Japanese colonial regime. Taipei City thus has something changed. In my thesis, I point out that the KMT actually cited Taipei City as Central Government in the interim meanwhile, three “governments” (Provincial, Taipei City and Central government) in Taipei, caused the disorder in administrative area. In the other hand, after being moved to central Taiwan, Provincial Government was reorganized by Chiang Kai-Shek’s instruction. KMT leadership also pointed out that Taipei city is de facto Central government. It has special political, economic and cultural meaning. Therefore, the KMT decided to transfer the jurisdiction of Taipei city government. But, in fact, Taipei city’s Reform has been postponed for a period of time. This complex condition involved among Central Government, Provincial Government and Taipei City Government. In 1966, Office of the President decreed Executive Yuan to establish the Reform Group, which coincidence with election of Mayor of Taipei and city councilor, and prepared to accomplish the Reform plan. Contrast to Central, Taiwan Provincial Assembly establish the ad hoc group, whose purpose was mainly to express the opinion that was entirely distinctive to Central and Taipei City stand.
Inquiring through my thesis, one can see how the KMT government rules Taiwan by his own. Finally, Taipei City was elevated to the status of special municipality. In this way, we could clearly analyze varying aspects of city development through the Taipei city’s Reform Policy.
