光害事件納入公害糾紛處理法之範圍爭論

The Debate over the Light Pollution Incidents in the Public Nuisance Dispute Mediation Act in Taiwan

光害，主要是由室外照明的建築物之立面照明、道路照明、廣場照明、廣告照明及景觀照明等，所產生的干擾光對人、環境、天文觀測、交通運輸等造成負面影響。國際照明委員會（CIE）將之稱為刺眼光或侵擾光（Obtrusive Light）。近年來，LED製成的光源、裝飾燈與中大型廣告看板，大量使用在全世界人口密度高與人潮聚集的地區，由於LED的高亮度、動態變化及多彩的特性造就了各式的光害來源。近年亦有國人向環保署及地方環保單位反映，受廣告招牌、照明設備或陽光反射後之光害影響；是以，對於光害影響及管理與後續救濟，需有進一步的關注與瞭解，以維護國人健康。本文主在探討光害納入我國公害範圍之影響，在其權利義務尚未健全制度下，公害糾紛處理法為救濟手段如何能妥為執行或有窒礙難行之處，並以德國法為主要比較對象。最後也提出建議，針對納入公告範圍之評估及衝擊實施說明。
