Abstract

Traditional settlements located within national parks operate under highly regulated governance regimes that shape local development trajectories. While national park policies are designed to protect cultural landscapes and environmental assets, they also reconfigure institutional incentives, spatial practices, and stakeholder behavior, with significant implications for local development outcomes. Grounded in governance-oriented perspectives, this study conceptualizes national park policies as dynamic governance arrangements integrating regulatory instruments, institutional incentives, and stakeholder interactions. Using a qualitative case study of Qionglin Village in Kinmen National Park, Taiwan, the study draws on semi-structured interviews with local residents, academic experts, and tourism practitioners. Data were analyzed using thematic analysis, with attention to coding consistency and cross-stakeholder triangulation to enhance analytical rigor. The findings reveal that governance impacts emerge through the interaction of regulatory constraints, institutional incentives, and local responses. While strict land-use and architectural controls initially generated resistance, they gradually gained legitimacy as their long-term conservation benefits became evident. Nevertheless, persistent constraints remain, particularly in infrastructure provision, spatial flexibility, and tourism-related economic opportunities. Transferable development rights function as a key mediating governance mechanism, partially offsetting regulatory restrictions while facilitating adaptive development strategies. The study advances governance theory by demonstrating that regulatory legitimacy in protected areas is dynamically co-produced through iterative interactions between institutional design and local agency. The findings also provide transferable insights for enhancing adaptive and context-sensitive governance and institutional effectiveness in inhabited protected areas.

Abstract

Taiwanese agriculture has long been under pressure from climate change, labor shortages, and volatile market prices. Smallholders often remain in a weak bargaining position due to limited scale, making it difficult to stabilize output and accumulate added value. Using a qualitative case study approach, the present study examines the transformation of a greenhouse muskmelon farm from 2019 to 2025 and synthesizes a six-stage innovative operating model consisting of (1) technological adoption, (2) grading and packaging, (3) channel development, (4) supply-demand planning, (5) team organization and division of labor, and (6) brand building. The findings show that facility-based cultivation and precision management reduce climate risks and improve product consistency; standardized grading and packaging enhance product identification and market trust; and access to wholesale channels and market intelligence enables the case to shift from a price taker to a supply-chain coordinator. Team-based aggregation and staggered production increase shipment volumes and bargaining power, while branding and traceability help the product enter mid-to-high-end markets and capture price premiums. The proposed model is further transferred to and validated in a hard clam aquaculture case. Results indicate that smart water-quality monitoring, standardized grading and packaging, diversified channels, and staged harvesting improve survival rates, stabilize cash flow, and strengthen brand trust. Overall, the six-stage model demonstrates cross-industry transferability and provides a practical reference for enhancing resilience and sustainable competitiveness among small-scale farmers and aquaculture operators in Taiwan.

Abstract

With changing times and rapid technological advancements, the early advantage of cost-driven industries has faded. Former “cash cow industry” are gradually being labeled as traditional industries, or even considered “decline industries.” Traditional manufacturing industry have consistently played a crucial role in Taiwan's economic development, repeatedly contributing to the country's economic miracles. However, in recent years, a growing number of Taiwan's traditional manufacturing company have been investing overseas or undergoing comprehensive transformation. Faced with an increasingly challenging investment environment and rising costs of labor, raw materials, and equipment investment, where should traditional manufacturing industry go from here?. The present study firstly focuses on the transformation of traditional manufacturing industry, exploring the key factors for successful transformation. Secondly, it examines the strategies adopted by companies when facing significant challenges. Through case studies, secondary data collection, and interviews, the present study provides suggestions and references for the transformation strategies of traditional manufacturing industry, based on the results of discussions with actual companies. It also offers questions and directions for future research. The present study identifies the three most important key factors for successful transformation as follows: leadership team, strategic acumen of the leader, and human resource quality.

Abstract

As the blue economy has become a key discourse in island and marine development, addressing marine use conflicts and governance demands while promoting economic activities has emerged as a critical issue. This study focuses on six major inhabited offshore islands in Taiwan, analyzing their blue economy development characteristics and corresponding marine governance responses. This research integrates institutional analysis and local perspectives through literature review and in-depth interviews, thereby supplementing gaps in existing studies. The findings reveal significant variations among the islands in terms of ecological carrying capacity, functional overlap of marine uses, and industrial development, forming a diverse spectrum ranging from low-density livelihood-oriented use to high-density tourism-oriented utilization. These differences reflect the contextual characteristics of their social-ecological systems. Further analysis indicates a strong correlation between blue economy development patterns and marine governance approaches. Livelihood-oriented islands tend to adopt low-impact marine use strategies, tourism-oriented islands emphasize intensity regulation, while diversifying or transitional islands require coordination among multiple marine use demands. This suggests that marine governance in offshore islands is highly context-specific rather than governed by a single institutional framework. Through cross-island comparison, this study develops a typological analytical framework that serves as an intermediary tool linking social-ecological differences with governance practices, contributing to a deeper understanding of the diversity of blue economy development in offshore islands.
