For developing the ''ten new industries'' which Government
drafted in the national six year plan for different regions
and districts,and taking the location factors of economic
activities into consideration in the industrial policies, it''s
nacessary to discuss the spatial distribution of these high-
tech industries. This research uses the analytical
framework and methods in spatial location theories and
industrial economics, to analyze the basic attributes and
spatial location characteristics for the ''ten new industries''
, and discuss the spatial distribution pattern. The ''ten
new industries'' concentrated in the main metro- politan
areas of northern, central and southern regions of Taiwan,
espacially for the northern regions. It is likely a
spatial pattern of ''decentralized-concentration''. Because
the firms with high productivity and technological
level concentrated in spatial distribution, and promote the
techno- logical level, innovative ability of the adjacent
firms, so determine the spatial distribution pattern. For
explaining the spatial phenomenon of ''ten new industries '',
this research establish the location hypotheses and then
examine them. First, the firm-characteristics factors are
no influences for the location, but the Hsinchu areas is a
special district for firm''s location. Second,the technological
resources are the most important factor for the location
of ''ten new industries'', and the effect of ''location
inertia'' is also an important location factor. So the
location and spatial distri- bution of ''ten new industries''
should be ''premeditated'', that is, Government can establish
research institutions, intergrate local technological
resources, upgrade industrial techno- logical abilities,
then promote ''ten new industries'' in regional and local
development.
