村里長定位之研究─以台北縣五股鄉為例

Abstract

摘要

村里組織是台灣實施地方自治的最基層編組，而作為第一線基層行政中心的村里長，更是影響地方自治行政功能甚鉅。台灣的村里制度雖由來已久，但隨着近年來村里長功能定位的質變，加上社區主義及公民意識的興起，乃至與相關基層組織事權的高度重疊，使得村里長的定位及村里功能受到衝擊，實有重新檢視之必要。 村里組織問題，學者及各校博、碩士研究生已多有研究，惟該等研究多偏重於村里組織制度或村里長職務功能之問題，少有專注於探討村里長之定位問題者。村里長定位問題涉及的面向甚為廣泛，除牽涉村里長本身角色地位功能外，尚涉及地方相關基層組織之變動、法令的修訂、政府財政預算、選舉制度等因素，彼此並交互影響，且村里長定位若予調整後，相關配套機制的推動，亦為地方自治完備化之重要關鍵。 本研究以村里長的定位為主軸，除就村里制度，村里長與村里辦公處定位、村里長與村里幹事的競合問題，村里長與鄉鎮市區公所的關係，村里組織與社區發展協會的互動與整合等問題探討外，並對村里長為「無給職」或「有給職」之利弊予以分析，期以對村里長定位的相關問題提出建議。
