Evaluating spatial policies without indicators: A study on Taiwan as a developmental state in transition

Author

  • Cheng, An-Ting

Abstract

Policy evaluations are crucial in promoting effective administrations. However, evaluations of spatial policies are rare, due to its ambiguity and complexity. Especially when a developmental state transitions to democracy, the loss of top-down leadership disables formulation of indicators for evaluations. In such cases, it is essential to search for new evaluation methods and approaches.
