線上「理想言談情境」有多理想?蘇花國道論壇的分析

Degree of Deliberation for Online Discussion-Examination of the Su-Hua Highway Forum

摘要


隨著資訊科技的發展,線上論壇逐漸被視爲解決爭議性政策議題的有效公共審議途徑;然而,另一派觀點,則認爲線上參與過程仍將充斥著新舊優勢者的宰制。面對前述爭議,既有文獻並未能根本且有效的實際檢證線上「言談情境」的理想程度究竟如何,以釐清理論與實務上的差距。基此,本文以審議民主理論的角度,探討近年來備受各方爭議之國道蘇花高興建政策的線上議論過程,主要以花蓮縣政府架設的「蘇花國道論壇」爲研究對象。研究方法上,除了歸納既有文獻的指標,並透過定質性量化分析軟體(Nvivo)的開放式紮根編碼分析途徑來分析論壇中的議題與言論,藉以建構並檢視不同參與者與其言論在線上議論中的角色、特性、優劣勢地位與其關聯性。 研究發現,線上「蘇花國道論壇」具相當程度的參與規模與討論量,其議論亦能展現出線上論壇非同期性對話與言論長期保留之優勢。其次,線上論壇與各系列議論中的言論數量、參與者數、參與者參與程度、以及言論的持續性效果有正向的關連性。再者,在論壇中以理想或有效審議的方式進行討論是有助於強化對話參與、擴大包含性以吸引多元化參與,並提升參與者持續參與的程度與意願。但另一方面,部分成果亦顯示線上論壇仍潛藏著政府權力對參與自主性的威脅;其次,論壇中大多數的議論中仍充斥著普通對話、甚至無效的言論;此外,一次發言效果亦普遍存在,而導致線上對話的持續性效果不佳。上述成果可部分釐清資訊科技運用對於審議式民主影響之爭議,並彌補文獻對實際線上論述過程探討之不足,亦可作爲政府未來管理線上政策論壇,甚至進一步運用線上審議成果之參考。

並列摘要


Taking advantage of advanced information and communication technologies, Internet forums are gradually considered as effective facilitation to resolve disputed public policy issues. There are contradictory arguments asserting that online public forums remain dominated by the already superior. Nevertheless, the previous studies provide insufficient investigation to assess the contradiction empirically. The current research draws upon the perspectives of deliberative democracy to explore the Internet forum on Su-Hua highway maintained by Hau-Lien County Government. A set of proper indicators is developed and qualitative analysis software Nvivo adopted to code the content of the online forum. The coding results are also cross-examined with the characteristics of the participants. The findings reveal that the online forum has reached the substantial discussion and heated debate. The arguments presented online, accumulated across a long period of time, also show their diversity to cover the full spectrum of the debated issue. The diverse arguments on the public forum do contribute to sustained participation from the online citizens in terms of the indicators based on deliberative democracy. Despite the positive observation above, there is also evidence indicating the threat towards voluntary participation in the policy issue from the government itself. Some online dialogue, meanwhile, is found non-constructive, exclusive and even irrelevant, which significantly endangers the quality of the online debate. The results collected in the current study help clarify the controversial expectation and process of the Internet forum dedicated to public policy deliberation. The mixed evidences, for governmental agencies, also suggest management and application of the online public forum.
