That is to say, an autonomous area would have the same status as a county government. The specific items for self-government would be determined by each tribal community. These would mainly include use and management of mountains, rivers, hot springs, and other natural resources; linguistic and cultural autonomy; and judicial affairs. Other matters could only be managed with the assistance of the local and central governments.
也就是說，自治區的位階等同「縣政府」，自治的項目由各部落自行決定，原則上會以山川、河流、溫泉等自然資源的使用管理、語言文化的自主、司法等方面為主，其他業務仍需藉助地方政府及中央政府體系管理。
