鄰避症候群之解析

RE-EXAMINING THE NIMBY SYNDROME

本文主要目的在於從社會政治過程及居民接受意願來解析鄰避症候群的意涵。首先，鄰避設施所代表的並不一定是社會的需求，而往往是資本家所製造的經濟問題之政治答案；其次，鄰避主義並非為阻礙社會目標，而是針對資本家目標衍生的抗爭。另一方面，為了改變公共政策的決策過程，同時提高居民的接受意願，我們必須了解社區居民抗拒鄰避設施的心態。根據鄰避症候群的解析，本文最後一部分提出環境規劃及管理上之應用。

The main purpose of this article is to re-examine the NIMBY syndrome from socio-political process and people's willingness to accept (WTA). First, NIMBY facilities are not necessarily needed to provide an important social benefit. Second, NIMBYism represents a barrier not to societal goals but to the goals of capital. On the other hand, to change decision making process of public policies to increase people's WTA, it is important to explore why residents demonstrate the NIMBY syndrome. Based on the re-examination of the NIMBYism, this article proposes several planning and management implications.
