民法親屬編自民國96年5月23日修正公布以來,子女之姓氏由原先規定的從父姓,改為由父母約定從父姓或從母姓,其立法目的乃積極落實兩性平等原則;隨後於民國99年4月30日民法再度修正通過,子女於成年後可自主決定改從父姓或母姓,不需要父母同意,該姓氏制度之重大變革為我國身分法現代化的重要里程碑。故本研究以回應性評估為研究途徑,透過文獻分析、焦點團體座談及深度訪談等方式進行資料蒐集。除以文獻分析及相關理論作為研究之基礎外,特舉辦一場焦點團體座談,並對政策執行機關、民眾、公民團體與學者專家等三個面向之利害關係人進行深度訪談,期望訪談相關利害關係人,蒐集標的對象對於該法律政策在「社會環境面」、「法制規範面」、「政策執行面」之訴求(claims)、關切(concerns)、議題(issues),並分析國內之統計數據,評估「子女姓氏約定」及「成年後姓氏自主」政策之法制改革與執行情況,以作為日後落實子女姓氏自主權之參考。 此外,本研究以三個構面作為研究之主要方向,其中在「執行機關」之回應性評估分析有十一個建構性問題,在「民眾」之回應性評估分析有八個建構性問題,在「公民團體與學者專家」之回應性評估分析有十四個建構性問題。 最後,本研究之政策建議乃依研究發現及各章之研究內容為基礎所提出,分別針對三個研究構面研擬十一項改進作為與措施,期望對於子女姓氏權等法律政策提供興革之建議。
Ever since the amendments on relative relations in the Civil Laws on May 23rd, 2007, the progress was that children were supposed to follow their father’s last name in the beginning, then changed to letting the parents decide which last name their children should follow; the purpose of this policy was to actively practice the principle of gender equality. Later, as the Civil Laws were amended again on April 30th, 2010, children nowadays are capable of deciding which last name THEY want to follow without needing approvals from their parents. This significant transformation on the surname system was an important monument for our modernization of identity laws. Thus, this study adopts the method for evaluations on responsiveness; through analyzing documents, focus group discussions, and depth interviews, information required is to be collected. Except for founding the basis through analyzing documents and relevant theories, one focal group discussion shall be held; on the other hand, depth interviews with people from three aspects: the first, policy executers; secondly, the public; the last aspect are social groups, scholars and experts. The interviews are held in hope of collecting the claims, concerns, and issues from the interviewees that have certain stake in this subject matter of legal policy on the aspects of “social environments”, “legal regulations”, “policy executions”. Meanwhile, statistics from both domestic and foreign regions shall be analyzed, too, so that the laws reforming and executing conditions of the policy of “surname agreement for children” and “surname autonomy for adults” can be evaluated, as well as providing a reference for practicing the surname autonomy for children in the future. Additionally, the main directions on the researches of this study are consisted of three aspects: for the responsiveness evaluation on “executing institutes”, there are eleven constructive questions; for the “public”, there are eight of the questions, and for “social groups, scholars and experts” there are totally fourteen of the questions to evaluate the responsiveness. Finally, the suggestion to the policy in this study is offered according to the discoveries in researches, and is based upon the research contents in each chapter; also, eleven corresponding measures are also drawn, following the three research aspects, in hope of providing advice on the revolutions in legal policies of children’s surname autonomy.
