工業園區內的廠商形成生態化工業網絡之影響因素－以彰濱、六輕工業園區爲例

The Eco-Industrial Park (EIP) is a community of manufacturing and service businesses seeking enhanced environmental and economic performance through collaboration in managing energy, water, and materials flows. Because of its potential to generate synergetic benefits, EIP has successfully drawn the worldwide attention of environmental scholars and policy makers, especially in Taiwan, which is currently trapped in the dilemma of industrial development and environmental protection. However, most of the current literature only discusses EIP as a whole from the perspective of engineering and fail to study the driving factors that induce individual firm to participate an EIP and form Eco-Industrial Networks. In this research, we try to study the issues of EIP from the perspective of management and explore the management principles of EIP that will attract the firms to join the industrial ecology. By reviewing the related literature of foreign EIPs and interviewing with firms within Changpin industrial park, we figure out some conjectures and propose 10 hypotheses. Then, we choose No.6 Naphtha Cracker industrial park, the first park in Taiwan designed as a whole by private sector, to falsify theses hypotheses. We find that regulation policy, administration of the park, recycling link, the options for resource reuse and the logistic characters of industrial wastes are the key factors inducing firms to form Eco-Industrial Networks.
