摘要: | 環境影響評估為一項控制環境影響的制度,為預防及減輕開發行為對環境造成不良影響,藉以達成環境保護之目的之法條,我國環境影響評估法自1994 年通過實施至今,於眾多的開發案、建設中有一定的影響力,但近年來在民意高漲的世代卻也衍生了許多爭議問題。
當國家致力於經濟層面的發展時,常常忽視了開發、建設所造成的環境影響,然而在我國環境影響評估法中於資訊公開機制、公聽會時機等等常常讓民眾無法接受,導致兩相衝突的局面產生,這樣的案例在台灣已經越來越多了,像是蘇花高速公路計畫、美麗灣渡假村、北投空中纜車興建等等。
民眾參與在環境影響評估流程中扮演了什麼樣的角色,是本文認為值得探討的部分,而本文主要希望可透過民眾參與階梯模式進行研究,分析環評過程中民眾參與機制的等級代表著什麼意義,並以實際案例狀況對比環評法內原有民眾參與機制的民眾參與程度找出現今社會上案例之中的問題點。
本研究經過詳細的文獻分析資料佐證後,藉由少部分訪談資料、民眾參與階梯的實務套用得到了環評法中民眾參與機制的修正方向,有調整的法條及相關規定包含:環評法§8、公開說明會作業要點第二條、第三條、第六條、第七條、環評法施行細則§15及台北市政府環境影響評估審查委員會組織規程第七條。
Environmental impact assessment (EIA) is a control system for the environmental impact. It is to prevent and mitigate the adverse impact of developing activities on environment, and to achieve the purpose of environmental protection in the statute. After implementation of the Environmental Impact Assessment Act in 1994, which in many developed cases has some certain influence, but in recent years since rising public opinions result to a number of controversial issues.
When the country is committed to the development of the economic dimension, government often overlooked environmental impact caused by development and construction. Information disclosure mechanisms and timing of public hearings in Taiwan's environmental impact assessment law usually let people can not accept it. Thus cause conflicting situations between people and government. That cases appear more and more in Taiwan, such as, the Su-Haw highway plan, Beautiful Bay Resort, Beitou Gondola construction and so on.
Public participation played what role in the environmental impact assessment process, is worth exploring in this study. The research adopts Ladder of Citizen Participation, analysis the effectiveness of participatory mechanisms represent what meaning in EIA process. Furthermore, the study takes some cases within the existing EIA law of citizen participation mechanisms and lelves involved in the cases, in order to identify problems in the actual cases.
In this resaerch, after a detailed analysis of literature review, with a single in-depth interview, and the practice of participation ladder. The study finds the amended direction of citizen participation mechanisms in the EIA Law. There are laws and related provisions need to adjust, which are included: Article VIII in EIA Law , II, III , VI and VII in public briefing session operation order, besides, Article XV in EIA Law Enforcement Rules and Article VII in the Taipei City Government Environmental Impact Assessment Review Committee code. |
