本文以臺灣蝴蝶蘭產業的經驗研究為例，探索由資本主義界定的全球化所形成的區域與區域規劃的認識論的變遷。以發展方式來界定全球進程與區域時，蝴蝶蘭個案顯示當前資訊主義下的文化消費的活動商品生產，乃呈現了農業發展方式，工業發展方式與資訊發展方式的多重組合：生物性商品的們然條件限制，敕生產技術標準化較他為能源使用與產出最大化的衡量；籍由生沕資訊運用的雜交育種，資議技術運用的市場通路要大量生產技術標準化組織的垂直分工網路，使產出最大化的地理安排能快速因應不市場偏好的供貨要求，形成全球產銷網絡；而臺灣則以新產品創新與產品週期的掌控，以及因應不同品種制定標準化生產技術的能力與彈性的合能綜效，而位於個網絡中的節點。在時空壓縮的策略中，越來越重要的是，流經節點的資訊與技術在節點被處理與被流動的品質。從中，越來越重要的是，流經節點的資訊與技術在節點被處理與被流動的品質。從而，區域規劃不再僅是資分派與固著的地域性層級議題，而是酪以網絡為分析單元、具有流動特徵的區域策略與治理體系的課題。

　　　　　Considering region as a territorially defined labor marker, what's the regionaltransformation of local agriculture in globalization？The authors present a case study of the orchidindustry vis-a-vis development in Taiwan and address a transformation of the concept of regionsand regional planning caused by the global flows of information and technology. Applying theconcept of mode of development' (MOD) to review the technology arrangement of Phalaenopsis(moth orchid) industry in the informational and consumption age, the empirical study reveals thatthe production-and-trade network of Phalaenopsis industry is multiply embedded in agricultural,industrial and informational modes of development. That is: via standardization of productiontechnology, natural bio-constraints of plants has been transformed in terms of energy cost andoutput maximization; also, through artificial hybridization breeding using bio-information,bio-control of plants growth, market expansion contributed by telecommunication progress, verticaldisintegrated production network contributed by standardization of mass production technology, thearrangement of output maximization has been transformed into a production-and-trade network onglobal level in order to quickly respond market preference and shape new market demands. Andbased on synergetic effect of combining new product creation, manipulation of product cycle, andthe ability and flexibility of technology standardization for various varieties, Taiwan has become anode of the network. In time-space compression strategies, how and how well the information andtechnology are arranged when flowing through the node that has become fundamentally important.Therefore, regional planning is no longer merely issues of resource allocation and fixing no locallevel; instead, it has become issues of regional developmental strategies and governance,characterized by flows.
