(Hsieh Chi-Cheng / tr. by Phil Newell) (chairman of the Rural Development Foundation)

According to the National Strategic Plan for Local creation approved by the Executive Yuan in December 2018, the National Development Commission analyzed the population change rate, population size, residents' income and other factors, and considered the priority of the use of resources and the economic weakness of local residents. in the past, among the 368 township and urban areas in the country, 134 townships and towns were selected as the priority areas for local creation. The central government shall assist the region in putting forward proposals for local creative undertakings and promoting related undertakings.

These priority promotion areas are mainly concentrated in the central, southern, eastern and other non-six cities, with 62 belonging to the Nongshan fishing village type, 24 belonging to the intermediary town type, and 48 belonging to the original town type. the land area of the priority areas accounts for 66.5% of the country, and the population accounts for 11.6% of the country.

Encouraging universities to assist township (town, city, district) public offices in proposing proposals is indeed a good thing from the perspective of talent support; because the "National Strategic Plan for Local creation" approved by the Executive Yuan not only emphasizes the proposal process and the cohesion of consensus, it is also mentioned that local governments, industry-university-research institutions, enterprises, communities and associations can all put forward local entrepreneurship plans on their own or in cooperation. Therefore, in terms of the energy possessed by the university, what it can give full play to is to break away from the identity of the sponsor, stand in a higher position, and accompany everyone through the process of the proposal hand in hand.

Accompany and assist, but don't be reduced to "knife-and-pen service".

However, the author also needs to remind that in the process of cohesion, local governments, industry-university-research institutions, enterprises, communities and associations involved in various discussions on local creation must not be reduced to "ghostwriting service" assistance.

If we can rely on talent support and university input to accompany, support local governance capacity, learn how to integrate people from all walks of life, and accumulate balanced urban and rural development energy, then this wave of local creation policy is a kind of merit!
