新冠肺炎疫情對公共設施改造之公民工作坊的影響及其對策研究

A Study on the Influences of COVID-19 and its Countermeasures on Citizens’ Workshops of Public Facilities Restructuring.

公共設施管理近來已成為日本的社會問題。因此地方政府常藉由工作坊等召開，結合公民力量就前述主題進行合作。然而，COVID-19 的蔓延使得相關活動舉辦困難。在新冠肺炎疫情影響下，地方政府通過發佈緊急聲明、評估感染情況、審議舉辦研討會的時間和利弊以及考慮物理感染控制措施，終於成功舉辦了研討會。在既有研究沒有針對前述經驗案例進行分析的情況下，本研究側重於 COVID-19 對舉辦工作坊的影響以及應對措施和對策。本研究依據現況調查、訪談等手法獲得了以下發現：工作坊的參加人數因研討會主題與性質而異，COVID-19 的疫情與人數變化並無直接關聯。然若主辦單位因疫情理由而延後工作坊等活動的召開，長久下來則會造成參加人數減少的主要原因；主辦單位若有明確的召開/延期之判斷基準並透明化讓市民瞭解，則有助於後續工作坊的推動；至於在防止感染的各種對策方面，部分已為全國性之共通標準；然而各種對策即便沒有科普性地說明，但是民眾多因對策的實施達到安心感。工作坊的延期作為對 COVID-19 疫情的回應，倘若持續很長時間，將成為減少參與人數的一個因素。制定標準來決定是否舉辦活動並與公眾分享將是有益的。雖然已有各種物理感染控制的措施，但是有一些措施在全國範圍內很常見。即使它們不一定能用科學的方式解釋，也有一些措施可以提供心理上的慰藉。

Public facilities management has become a social issue in Japan. Local governments often hold workshops and other opportunities for citizen collaboration on this topic. However, the COVID-19 outbreak has made it difficult to hold workshops. During the epidemic, local governments have managed to hold workshops by issuing emergency declarations, assessing the infection situation, deliberating on the timing and pros and cons of holding workshops, and considering physical infection control measures. There have been no studies that have focused on such cases, and this study focuses on the impact of COVID-19 on the holding of workshops, and the responses and countermeasures. As a result of the analysis, the following findings were obtained. The number of participants varied from workshop to workshop, and it cannot be said that COVID-19 had a direct impact on the number of participants; postponement of a workshop as a response to COVID-19, if prolonged, may cause a decline in the number of participants. It would be beneficial to develop criteria for deciding whether or not to hold the event and share them with the public. While there are various physical infection control measures, there are some measures that are common throughout the country. Even if they cannot necessarily be explained scientifically, some measures provide psychological reassurance.
