本研究目的在於探討亞洲城市區域創新系統的變動。區域創新系統是瞭解區域發展的重要工具，我們以八個專利活動指標結合內生變動程度、新穎性、技術擴張能力與網絡連結程度做為觀察區域創新系統的四個觀點，以探討八個在資訊與半導體產業下快速發展的亞洲城市，在區域創新系統上是否有相同的發展特徵。研究資料採用美國專利局的開放專利資料庫，並在方法上設計有效的計算與比較架構，將所選的亞洲城市以階層式演算法分為在地型區域與跨國型區域，同時觀察此兩種區域在區域創新系統上的異同。研究結果推斷在地型區域相對是較佳的區域創新系統參考模型。

A nation’s thriving is coming from the dynamics of regional innovation systems (RIS). Some Asian regions developed rapidly since the composition of networking and linkage, knowledge diffusion and expansion capability, endogenous dynamics, and novelty, which are the important elements for industrial-based regional innovation system. With using patent data and designing a combining approach to investigate the performance of selected Asian regions and provide a comparative analysis to evaluate the features of local-based regions and multinational-based regions. This study contributes to build an overview and find out local-based regions have more advantages than multinational regions.
