金門地區運輸發展規劃 李縣長：金門是「國門」

Every ten years, the Institution of Transportation, MOTC, conducts research of the progress of transit systems across Taiwan, and the transit development strategy plan of each location. On August 31, a meeting was held in order to hear suggestions raised by all fields of Kinmen. Magristrate Li, Wo-Shi, pointed out in the meeting that Kinmen still has questions towards outbound transportation that are still await ing resolution. He hopes that the planning team will consider the issues from a wider perspective, and provide the outcome to the central government as a reference for strategic consultation (1). He also noted that Kinmen's greatest difficulty is that the law systems in Taiwan do not have the same effect on the smaller outer islands. Li cited (2) a "suit wearing story" as a simile (3) saying Kinmen and Taiwan are like an adult and a child wearing the same suit which could not possibly produce the same effect. Therefore, Li hopes that that the outer island of Kinmen can be granted a special resolution so as to make amends while there is yet time.
交通部運輸研究所每十年針對台灣北、中、南、東等區域進行區域運輸系統發展策略規劃，8月31日，並在金門舉行一項座談會，聽取金門各方意見。縣長李沃士指出，金門對外交通還有問題待解決，希望規劃團隊從更大的面向思考，將結果提供中央做決策參考。他並指出，金門最大困境是許多制度和台灣本島「穿同一套西裝」，但大人和小孩穿同一套衣服，效果就是不一樣，因此，希望在離島能有特殊配套方案，讓離島金門能急起直追。

Magistrate Li pointed out that Kinmen's airport and mini-three-links seaport should be treated as the "Gate of the Nation" and be upgraded as soon as possible. He also noted that, upon obtaining a policy from the central government, the time, costs, and service of the mini-three-links will still have superiority (4). Besides, Kinmen expects itself to be the collecting and distributing center of the Economic Zone on West-coast of Taiwan Straits, and hopes that the capacity of its seaport could be expanded with the support of "pioneering policy" from the central authority.
李沃士並指出，金門的交通口岸，不論機場或小三通港口，都應該以「國門」概念儘速提升相關建設。他並指出，只要中央給政策，小三通在時間、成本和服務方面仍有優勢，金門期待能做為「海西經濟區」的集散中心，希望能加大港口承載量，在政策上讓金門「先試先行」。

Furthermore, Kinmen hopes to address the possibility of a development plan for the educational and medical industries (physical examinations, health care and medical tourism). It is expected that these plans will attract more tourists from both mainland China and Taiwan to travel to Kinmen for purposes of tourism and consumerism (5) thus helping to further increase the development of Kinmen.
此外，金門也希望朝教育產業和醫療產業（健檢、養生、觀光醫療）規劃發展，期能吸引更多陸生和國內外觀光客到金門觀光和消費，助益金門發展。
