航空城是全球機場發展的趨勢，其不僅是代表臨空經濟朝向城市發展的延伸，展現出國家的競爭力象徵，近年來機場朝向航空城發展更成了各國經濟發展全球化的發動機。桃園機場擁有絕佳的地理位置與條件發展國際航空城，具帶動國內產業發展及經濟成長的龐大潛力。台灣政府將航空城的推動列為施政重要目標，積極展開國際機場(航空城)特別條例立法與發展規劃。
本研究首先藉由相關航空城發展的個案進行現況分析與研究(如：香港、新加坡、史基浦和仁川)，歸納全球各主要航空城的發展模式與特色，瞭解國際航空城發展趨勢。進一步由個案中找出可借鏡之發展特性，由國際各主要航空城的經驗作為本研究針對桃園航空城發展的次級資料參考。其次，本研究以桃園機場為例，利用質性研究的方法進行產業座談會與業者深度訪談，研究使用Nvivo分析軟體來輔助紮根理論分析，使編碼分析過程更簡化和有效率。本研究透過專家訪談與座談會等初級資料，歸納出航空城發展趨勢與關鍵因素，同時分析整理出桃園機場發展航空城的發展策略與建議。

Airport City is a trend of global airport development, and it is not only on behalf of the aviation economy, but also towards an extension of urban development, as well as shows the competitiveness of the national symbol. In past decade, the airport towards the development of airport city has become the engine of economic globalization. Taoyuan airport has an excellent geographical location and conditions to evolve a leading international air city in Asia, with the promotion of domestic industries and economic growth. Taiwan government is aiming at such an ambitious airport city policy whereas a legislation and development planning is launching actively.
First, this study analyzes the development trajectory of the relevant airport cities (i.e., Hong Kong, Singapore, Schiphol, and Incheon), summarizing the development models and characteristics of a successful globalized airport city, and understanding the development trend of international airport cities. This research identifies the developmental properties, by using the literatures and cases of those major international airport cities as secondary data. Second, this research uses a qualitative research method proceed a series of industry forums and in-depth interviews. The study employs Nvivo® software to help convey the grounded theory analysis which makes a coding process on interview contexts more efficiently. In this study, via expert interviews and industry forums, we have concluded the key factors of developing trend of a successful airport city, and presented strategic suggestions to realize the development of Taoyuan airport city.
