人民陳情制度之探討－以監察陳情制度為例

陳情服務係民眾提供興革、行政違失舉發或行政上權益之維護等重要民意表達途徑，亦為人民與政府間的主要溝通工具之一。尤以現今科技發達，各種陳情管道便利，當政府機關執行權力時，人民自覺權利受侵害而申訴無門時、讓民眾透過正當程序參與行政，除可紓解民怨、促進公民表達、化解衝突甚至是弊絕風清之良法。然而現今人民意見多元、表達管道便利，在高度民主參與的狀況下，必定帶來行政資源的耗費，成為民主參與的必要之惡。因此，如何建立良好的陳情服務，使政府在處理人民陳情事務時，一方面，能為民發聲，又能強化政府機關之合法性；並兼顧各項資源的妥善運用，洵為重要的課題。本研究遂以監察陳情制度為探討核心。首先提出陳情制度之理論基礎，再論述監察陳情之法治、程序及範圍分析；同時針對監察陳情作業面臨之挑戰及因應之道提出分析，作為政府機構或行政單位處理之參考。
