For a long time, our governments pay more attention to economic than environmental issues so that each government slightly lacks of capacity in addressing local environmental pollution problems in recent years. Besides, county and city governments in southern Taiwan are lack of resources and capacity with making more emphasis on north part than south part in Taiwan based on overall development and directly reflected in implementation of environmental protection. Tainan environmental alliance is a cross-sector collaborative organization, that composed of environmental protection agencies, prosecution service, police units and the private sectors, through collaborative mechanism to combine the advantages of cross-sector, complement the functional inadequacies, and expect the alliance can much deepen in Tainan, to reach a more comprehensive and complete monitoring. In this research, using a model of collaborative governance of Ansell & Gash as a framework, to explore what factors make Tainan environmental alliance succeed in public-private collaboration? And hope showing the synergy in this research through establishing institutionalized alliances.) This research chooses in-depth interview and selects eight respondents among environmental, procuratorial, police and the-third sectors to explore and explain the possible factors that affect Tainan environmental alliance. According to the results of this research, the mode of operation of Tainan Environmental Alliance is generally in accordance with the collaborative model proposed by Ansell & Gash. But the rule of engagement is none of successful factors of the Tainan environmental alliance. In the end, we discuss the public-private collaboration model and Tainan Environmental Alliance. Furthermore, from the point of view of paradox, we attempt to rethink the development of public-private collaboration with the case of Tainan Environmental Alliance.
