ABSTRACT

What are patterns, outcomes, and factors emerging from the urban environmental sustainability actions? To what extent do the conditions of action arenas facilitate urban environmental actions? In this research, the community-level public space named ‘neighbourhood activity centres’ in Taipei City is observed and investigated. Besides the field observation effort, a data set is established with the combination of subjective and objective data sources collected from a questionnaire investigation (255 units of observations) and the governmental open data systems. After employing ordinary least squares (OLS) regression analysis, the author concludes that environmental friendly facilities (such as aquaponics systems), environmental tendency of the communities, exhibition of policies or regulations and action networks among participants, could facilitate the outcomes of urban environmental sustainability movement. However, the diversity among the participants negatively affects the relationships between some external factors and action outcomes. The divergence in actor preference increases the required transaction costs in the consensus process due to time-consuming communication and compromise. This study thus proposes recommendations, such as benchmark Lis and neighbourhood associations, as policy application that could enhance municipal implementation of sustainability policies.

摘要

城市环境可持续性行动中出现的模式、结果和因素是什么？行动场所的条件在多大程度上促进了城市环境行动？在这项研究中，对台北市名为“邻里活动中心”的社区级公共空间进行了观察和调查。除了实地观察工作外，还结合从问卷调查（255 个观察单位）和政府开放数据系统中收集的主观和客观数据源建立了一个数据集。通过普通最小二乘法（OLS）回归分析，作者得出结论：环境友好型设施（如鱼菜共生系统）、社区的环境趋势、政策或法规的展示以及参与者之间的行动网络，可以促进城市环境可持续性运动的成果。然而，参与者之间的多样性会对一些外部因素与行动结果之间的关系产生负面影响。由于耗时的沟通和妥协，参与者偏好的差异增加了共识过程中所需的交易成本。因此，本研究提出了一些建议，例如基准 Lis 和邻里协会，作为可以加强城市实施可持续发展政策的政策应用。由于耗时的沟通和妥协，参与者偏好的差异增加了共识过程中所需的交易成本。因此，本研究提出了一些建议，例如基准 Lis 和邻里协会，作为可以加强城市实施可持续发展政策的政策应用。由于耗时的沟通和妥协，参与者偏好的差异增加了共识过程中所需的交易成本。因此，本研究提出了一些建议，例如基准 Lis 和邻里协会，作为可以加强城市实施可持续发展政策的政策应用。
