在國家能源轉型過程中,由於涉及國民生活型態的轉變,政策變遷容易因為衝擊現狀而引發不確定感,以政府正在推動的「非核家園」為例,即因缺乏共識而導致國人對轉型之期程與路徑缺乏信心,2018年的公投結果某種程度顯示出民眾對轉型有所疑慮,許多國人甚至有重拾核能的想法。然而,許多國外的文獻與案例皆顯示:如能透過地方政府與社群擴大公民對於能源事務的實踐和參與,即有助於提升民眾在能源議題上的認知和效能感。本文選定新北市在2018年於三重峰景翠峰社區所推動的「新北市智慧社區」方案為研究案例,試圖理解安裝社區智慧設施對社區民眾的影響。該社區住戶一共79戶,本研究在2019年3月進行問卷調查,問卷回收率是77%。研究結果發現:智慧綠能設施在社區的實際裝設,或能讓民眾對綠能科技與國家能源政策產生較正面的觀感,擴大理性討論的空間,也能進一步從個人層面改變民眾的能源行為與認知,可為行為與思考慣性營造破口。這樣的結果同時顯示出:未來在國家能源轉型工程中,如何透過中央與地方協力,擴大民眾對於能源的參與和實踐,或將對轉型的整體成效和成敗有重大影響。
Energy transition is a mega project involving technology advancement and social adaptation. While the new Taiwan government endeavored to promote energy transition in addition to pursuing future nuclear phase-out, the lacking of social common grounds undermined public trust on the transition roadmaps. The referendum in 2018 revealed strong backlash against current "no-nuke" agenda. Based on international empirical evidences, the citizen's participation into energy practices could contribute to better understanding and effectiveness on energy transition issues. This article focused on a new "Smart Community" project launched by New Taipei City government by installing green and smart system facilities in a 79-households 'FengJingTsuiFeng" community in Sanchung district, and aimed to explore the effects on community residents after the action. This research conducted survey on community residents in March 2019. The results showed that the uptake of smart facilities and renewable energy in the community helped to shape better images on green energy and national energy policies, and also to change residents' behaviors and perceptions on energy use. The results also shed more lights on the significance of collaboration between central and local in broadening citizen's participation and practices in energy affairs in national energy transition frameworks.
