| dc.description.abstract | Taiwan has been facing population structure imbalances, growing urban-rural disparities, and uneven regional development, much like Japan. As a result, the Executive Yuan declared 2019 as the Year of Regional Revitalization, combining regional revitalization with innovation to revitalize local industries, create job opportunities in towns, and promote population return. This thesis is based on Resource Dependence Theory and uses the Fugang Youth Travel initiative in Taoyuan City as a case study. The research methods include in-depth interviews, case study analysis, secondary analysis, and participatory observation, which are qualitative research methods. Interviews were conducted with 2 members of the regional revitalization team, 2 local government officials, 1 local civic group member, 1 local business owner, 1 cultural and historical worker, and 1 local elder, and 2 participatory observations were carried out to explore the resource dependence in regional revitalization policies in depth. The thesis found that there exists a dynamic resource interdependence relationship between the Fugang Youth Travel regional revitalization team, local government, and local stakeholders. The regional revitalization team is at the center, providing necessary resources to local governments and stakeholders, while the partners also return resources to the regional revitalization team based on their goals, roles, or emotional ties. The local government plays a dual role as both a partner and a supervisor. While it needs the policy performance provided by the regional revitalization team and aims to establish a long-term cooperative relationship, it must also maintain the fairness of oversight and monitoring. Based on the findings, the researcher proposes five recommendations to the local government: (1) revise the regional revitalization plans, (2) encourage the retention of regional revitalization talents, (3) integrate corporate support for diverse assistance in regional revitalization, (4) improve communication channels for regional revitalization, and (5) promote regional revitalization education. On the other hand, the thesis suggests that the regional revitalization team strengthen local connections and collaborations, make good use of citizen participation and volunteer services, focus on local talent training and retention, and pass on regional revitalization experiences to reduce dependence on single resources, ensuring survival and sustainable development. | en_US |
