The re-arrangement Township government's function after the annexation of Kaohsiung City and County: Using the function of road construction and management as an example.

[[abstract]]2010年12月25日縣市合併升格直轄市後，從原有的台北市、高雄市兩大直轄市，形成台北市、新北市、台中市、台南市以及高雄市的五都體制。高雄市原本即為直轄市，並在此次與高雄縣合併升格。高雄縣原有之鄉（鎮、市）亦改制為區，故其相關業務功能也回歸直轄市政府辦理。因此在縣市合併升格的過程中，在業務功能的延續與安排上，也會面臨到相關的調整與改變。而高雄市與其他合併升格的縣市樣態不同，為直轄市與縣之合併。故本文以「高雄市」之「交通建設與管理」為例，探討縣市合併後鄉鎮市業務之延續與安排。 本文將「交通建設與管理」分為制度面、互動面、管理面三個面向，並運用次級資料分析以及訪談的方式探討。發現在合併後，主要依循原高雄市之體制，並依實際狀況調整。而部分業務回歸一級機關辦理，也可使其具有專業性與一致性。此外，在合併後採用開口合約的方式，以達到其效率及補足區域面積增廣之情形。而在合併後因由鄉鎮市改為區，高雄市的資源整合，故亦有平衡區域發展的效果。[[abstract]]After the annexation of City and County on December 25 2010, the form of local government has changed to five municipalities, Taipei city, Kaohsiung city, New Taipei city, Tainan city and Taichung city, from the original two municipalities.
