ABSTRACT The purpose of this paper is to exam the outcomes of historical monument management and to debate the influences as management organizations seek for sustainable development under monument outsourcing management system in Taiwan. In the later 90’s, adaptive re-use space became one of major official goals of Taiwan cultural strategies. After the “Act for Promotion of Private Participation in Infrastructure Projects” was put to practice in 2000, Taipei City Department of Cultural Affairs took the lead in promoting monument outsourcing. “Act for Promotion of Private Participation in Infrastructure Projects” encourages private sectors to invest in public infrastructure in order to ease off the burdens of culture property management of government departments. Among them, R. O. T. (Rehabilitate-Operate-Transfer) is the most common model applied to monuments and historic buildings. Nevertheless, if an outsourcing institution draw up a proactive and complete conservation plan profoundly affects the significance of a culture heritage in the future. Those management issues raised from outsourcing management widely influence the establishment of the mechanism on heritage management. Therefore, this article studies three cases and was expected to provide a direction for next generation on heritage management.
