Listed in Harvard Dataverse

A Study of the Specialization and Decentralization in the Core of Metropolis - Kaohsiung & Taichung Metropolitan Area The evolution of metropolitan economic spatial structure and the role of its central area are always the essential matters concerned by spatial structure researchers and planners.

Description

Certain scholars assert that the prosperity of suburbs leads the core to a decline. Other authors, however, have suggested that the growth of suburbs may also be the reflection of a strong metropolitan core whose economic base is in increasing specialization.

Under the leadership of the specialized core center, the metropolis is reconsolidating as an integrated spatial unit with highly competitive production networks . This research examines the situations of specialization and decentralization in Taiwanese metropolises (this year focuses on Kaohsiung & Taichung ) . The databases of DGBS\'s Industrial and Commercial Census, which were undertaken every five year, are used in the empirical analysis covers the years of 1981, 1986, 1991 and 1996.

It is also found that the development of high order services (HOS) sector in these two metropolises appeared characteristics of : dynamic ; high value added; professional division ; small in scale ; aggregation and need to approach to the market.

However, HOS firms in these two metropolises have not developed strong international interactions only acting on local service orientation.
