「埔里PM2.5空污減量自救會」環境倡議策略與困境挑戰之探討
The Strategies, Difficulties and Challenges of Environmental Advocacy: A Case Study on Puli PM2.5 Reduction Association (PPRA).
摘要
在這個時代下，人們的第四代人權——「環境權」漸漸被剝奪，近年來「PM2.5」成為臺灣熱門的環境議題，越來越多人知道空氣污染會對人體健康帶來危害。然而，空氣污染的情形並不僅止於西部平原，在南投縣的埔里鎮依然免不了霧霾的侵襲。2014年11月，幾位社區居民覺察埔里空氣污染情形，思考可以為這片土地做些什麼，便成立了「埔里PM2.5空污減量自救會」，開始進行一連串的環境倡議行動。自救會為一個未立案的非正式社區組織，成員皆為志願服務者，研究者從自救會成立以來也參與其中，一同經歷整個行動過程，期間自救會在社區進行的環境教育宣導和志工設計的空污教案，皆帶來很大的迴響，而國立暨南國際大學與自救會的合作，更讓空污減量行動遍及南投其他鄉鎮，也連結了更多資源挹注。 環境倡議不僅是影響政府或企業家，甚至是對社會大眾進行公共教育並建立社區意識。自救會的成員們如何運用多元的行動策略去與公部門、社區產生互動，進而影響政府決策？在既有的限制下，自救會行動的過程又會遇到什麼樣的困境與挑戰？本研究目的分為兩條軸線：（一）瞭解自救會成立的脈絡歷程、行動策略發展、面臨的困境挑戰與核心志工的反思洞察；（二）瞭解核心志工們的動機信念、環境經驗感受與成長收穫。期望透過對自救會的全面描述、分析與解釋，能供予相仿的倡議團體一些建議與參考，同時，也希冀環境議題能逐漸被社會大眾重視，以及能有更多社會工作者投入環境議題的教育與倡議行動。

The environmental rights, which is considered as the Fourth Generation of Human Rights, has been gradually deprived in this era. Recently, “PM2.5”has become a popular topic as more people are becoming aware of the health hazard issues cause by air pollution. Unfortunately, such problem does not only affect in the western plains of Taiwan but also many others area such as the smog occurring in Puli Town, Nantou County. In November of 2014, because of the increase in awareness of air pollution which caused concerns to residents who had the heart to protect their homeland, the local community in Puli decided to set up the “Puli PM2.5 Reduction Association (PPRA)” which initiated a series of environmental protection programs. The PPRA is an unregistered and informal community organization formed by a group of volunteers. As a researcher who has been participating since the organization’s initiation, I have devoted myself in a series of activities, environmental education advocacy, and teaching plan regarding air pollution. All of these activities have received many positive responses from the community. Furthermore, the cooperation between the National Chi Nan University and PPRA had promoted the act of reducing air pollution into another level; such as bringing up the awareness in other townships in Nantou as well as connecting and pouring more resources to the organization itself. Environmental advocacies itself not only influences the government or entrepreneurs in a direct way, it also builds up community awareness. How can PPRA members better utilize resources to interact with the government and the community in a way that will affect government guidelines and decisions? Under current restrictions and limitations, what difficulties and challenges will PPRA encounter? The purpose of this study is divided into two parts: (1) to understand the history of PPRA, the development of its action strategies, the challenges or dilemmas it faced, and the reflections and observation of the core volunteers; (2) to understand the motivations of core volunteers, their environmental experiences, and the feedback and feelings regarding its growth. Through a more comprehensive description, and a deep analysis and investigation of the PPRA, I hope to give some concrete suggestions to other similar advocacy groups as a reference. I also hope that people will gradually value such environmental issues so that more social workers will be willing to devote themselves into the advocacy and education of protecting our environment.
