重大交通建設是政府推動都市及區域發展的主要手段之一，對於促進地區的經濟成長，提昇國民生活品質上，扮演著重要的角色，其冏間影響效果之分析為重要研究課題。而中山高速公路建設完成通車以來已有二十餘年，此一重大交通建設對空間及經濟發展之影響頗為一重要課題。配合地理資訊系統的應用，本研究就其路線經過所服務之臺灣西部走廊地區，以市鄉鎮作為空間分析單元，應用歷年工商普查統計資料，針對工業部門中之製造業部門，分別從時間、空間及產業等三個面向探討高速公路建設對於地方沿線製造業發展之影響情形，並進一步構建交流道對空間及產業發展之影響模型，以供未來制訂國土發展相關政策之參考。

Major transportation construction project is one of the means to promote regional development by government. Investigation of the spatial impacts for a transportation construction project on local economic development and life quality improvement is an important research topic. Since the completion in 1976, Chung-Sun Freeway has been operated more than 20 years. Empirical analysis of the impacts on industrial development around freeway interchanges is an interesting and important research topic. Based on the application of geographic information system, physical distance between townships and interchanges in Taiwan's west corridor are estimated for analysis. Associated with the past industrial census data, the spatial impacts of freeway system are analyzed in terms of temporal, spatial and industrial dimensions. In addition, linear statistical models representing the relationship between interchange accessibility and local manufacturing industry are developed to help decisions related to national physical planning and future researches.
