This study, from the perspective of collaborative governance, explores the diffusion of policy innovation, current implementation, and challenges of the ''Student Emergency Assistance Happiness Safeguarding Stations'' through interviews with policy implementers across various counties and cities. It analyzes the interview results to examine the operational mechanisms, collaborative governance models, and partnerships of the Student Emergency Assistance Happiness Safeguarding Stations in northern Taiwan. The eight counties and cities of northern Taiwan have formed the Northern Taiwan Regional Development Promotion Committee, which integrates resources and promotes division of labor across regions and counties, enhancing the competitiveness of northern Taiwan in urban development both domestically and globally. In 2023, to expand the capacity for safeguarding children, the New Taipei City Government proposed a cross-county collaboration for the Student Emergency Assistance Happiness Safeguarding Stations, which was supported by the governments of Yilan County, Keelung City, Taipei City, Taoyuan City, Hsinchu City, Hsinchu County, and Miaoli County. Subsequently, the four major convenience store chains—7-Eleven, FamilyMart, Hi-Life, and OK Mart—were invited to collaborate, resulting in 7,503 stores nationwide joining the initiative as of January 20, 2024, safeguarding 1.8 million schoolchildren. This study found differences in the division of labor, case reporting, assignment, and assistance mechanisms among counties, as well as variations in policy promotion efforts. Finally, this study provides insights into the challenges encountered in the implementation of the Student Emergency Assistance Happiness Safeguarding Stations and offers recommendations for future policy development and research. |
