住屋權保障：亞洲公共住宅比較研究

Protecting Housing Rights: A Comparative Study of Public Housing Policies in Taipei, Hong Kong and Osaka

本文是一篇關於住屋權保障的研究計畫，比較大阪、香港與台北三個亞洲城市的公共住宅發展。公共住宅做為一項政策，必然脫離不了文化、歷史、政治與經濟背景的影響；而在民主社會中，公民社會與社會運動的倡議也成為政策落實是否能成功的關鍵。近年來，亞洲積極發展公共住宅，不僅是因為政治、經濟的需要，也逐漸面臨公民社會的檢驗與社會運動的影響，包括台北的無住屋者運動、香港的青年拒當樓奴運動與大阪的部落民運動。

This research note presents in outline a comparative study of public housing policies as an instrument for protecting housing rights in Taipei, Hong Kong and Osaka. It is argued that, in part, the culture and history of these three Asian cities play a part in explaining the public housing policies, but more attention should be paid to the role of civil society organizations and social movements. In recent years, the Snails Without Shells Movement in Taipei, Anti-Housing Slave Youth Movement in Hong Kong and the Burakumin Liberation Movement in Osaka have all put great pressure on their respective city governments. This study looks at their impact on, and interaction with, the bureaucracies in detail.
