Collaboration meeting is a brainstorming mode of cooperation, which promotes the mutual triggering and agitation of multiple roles, seeks phased consensus, and provides new perspectives and solutions for problems.

The opportunity for this collaborative meeting came from the "Environmental Information Disclosure" commitments of the National Action Plan (NAP) of the Ministry of Environment's Open Government, including the relevant discussions of the Ministry of Environment's Open Government Committee.

Open government, emphasizing the establishment of public-private partnerships. The preparatory process of the collaborative meeting tries to reflect this spirit: this collaborative meeting is initiated by the Ministry of Environment as the public sector, and the preparatory work for the collaborative meeting is carried out by private partners such as Chenxun Technology Co., Ltd. and Qixiang Creation Studio. Work together. That is to say, the preparation process of the collaborative meeting reflects the spirit of cooperation between the public and private sectors.

We try to create an open stance to welcome the discussion of multiple viewpoints. In the preparatory work, in addition to the mutual alignment of the public and private sectors in the preparatory process, we invited multiple stakeholders to participate in the topic setting of the meeting through interviews, and condensed the content of the interviews to write a topic handbook, and made a mind map for the topic. Prepare for the discussion.

On the day of the collaboration meeting, the diverse participants shared their views on the "Risk Map of Citizen's Life". deepen.

After the collaborative meeting, the context and conclusions of these discussions will be provided to the EPA for reference. At the same time, we will also make the verbatim transcript and video public, so that everyone who cares about this issue can fully grasp the information compiled by this meeting.

The first group also focused on the public's purpose for the citizen's life risk map in the discussion, especially to find out what the real needs of the public are. The issues and concerns they mentioned may cover many issues, such as environmental pollution, or modern urban problems such as "pedestrian hell", which correspond to different risk scenarios, such as littering on the roadside, or involving Information on flooding and traffic accidents, as well as environmental issues such as air and noise pollution.

Another important issue is the problems associated with incinerators, especially the odor they generate, which can affect people living nearby. These are issues that the public may be concerned about, and the diversity of these issues affects how they integrate so much information in the developed website or app, and how to customize it so that the public can quickly see what they care about. the risk issue.

In addition to letting the public know how to use the app, they believe that it is more important to establish important communication channels, such as using the village chief as a communication channel, so that residents can get in touch with powerful people or channels that can solve problems. In this way, from perceiving information to establishing pipelines to finally taking action, they will help the public pave the way so that they can do these things more painlessly.

They also mentioned the customization of the app, that is, according to the situation and needs of each user, providing them with the information they need so that they can take better actions. For example, if someone lives next to an incinerator, they can see the information they care about most when they open the app. This customized function will help improve the readability and ease of use of information, and truly meet the needs of users.

The discussion of the third group revolves around the types and types of risks, including various possible environmental problems in life, such as air pollution, noise, vibration, radiation, ultraviolet rays, electromagnetic waves, etc. Some of these risks are imminent, such as noise and vibration, which may appear suddenly and disappear after a period of time. These risks often have their origins and can be visualized through heat maps.

Some risks are different from urban and rural areas, such as traffic and pedestrian safety issues, while others may be affected by weather, such as possible changes in water quality after a typhoon. The group believes that life risk maps should have several goals: to help reduce risk, improve users' tolerance and awareness of risk, and educate the public about where risk may arise.

They mentioned that people should be able to report problems in specific places, such as garbage dumping, and be able to request government agencies to deal with them accordingly. Another concern is that different groups may have different capital and vulnerabilities to risk, which may need to be addressed in other ways.

In terms of information disclosure, the third group believed that disclosure of testing methods would help to increase public trust in their scientific basis and increase public awareness of these methods. They also emphasized the existence of psychological risks, and believed that certain regions or ethnic groups may be more likely to encounter higher psychological risks.

Finally, they discussed how to promote risk maps, such as through community sharing, data platforms, and even cooperation with business units and manufacturers. Overall, the group explored the many potential applications of risk maps and how their usefulness and reach could be further enhanced.

The second set of discussions focused on the use and understanding of citizen life risk maps and how this tool can be effectively used to improve public environmental awareness and behaviour. First, they believe there needs to be a clear definition of what the public really needs and wants to know about, recognizing that too much information can lead to confusion. Therefore, collaboration with district leaders such as neighborhood elders should be considered, especially considering that some groups, such as the elderly, may not have easy access to the app.

In the process of information disclosure, they emphasized that the government needs a more scientific attitude, and divided issues into immediate and non-urgent issues based on expert opinions, so as to avoid unnecessary panic. In addition, communication integration and consistency of positions across ministries is seen as key, especially after disclosure, to avoid public confusion and distrust of the government.

They also mentioned special target audiences, such as children, emphasizing the integration of environmental education into their daily lives to develop their environmental awareness and behaviour. They also mentioned the issue of carbon rights, and proposed to create an economic model to allow carbon rights to operate naturally in society and give incentives for people to participate.

Also included in the discussion is how to engage the public in environmental actions, such as cleaning up the neighborhood, as well as building relationships and a sense of identity. They also suggest that some behaviors need to be assigned an obligatory character, such as time for environmental education, along with emotional incentives. Finally, they put forward their ideas on the energy consumption of home appliances, hoping that the government can cooperate with manufacturers to make it easier for the public to understand the real-time and overall electricity consumption of home appliances.

This meeting started from a concept: "Citizen Life Risk Map".

The original setting of the topic was from the solution of "map"; however, during the interview process, the risk itself was more deeply cut into; on the day of the collaboration meeting, it started from the environmental theme to explore the essence of citizens' lives and information needs.

Map ➡️ Citizenship, Risk ➡️ Life, Information

The reports of the three groups cover many important concepts and solutions respectively. The focus of the discussion was mostly on the citizen life risk map and related issues. In addition to focusing on the concept of the map itself, more discussions were actually focused on the three major themes of information, life, and needs.

First, everyone's reports emphasize the interactive nature of knowledge between the government and the public. The government must be able to understand the needs of the people and convey them through grass-roots nodes to solve the public's troubles in judging short-term and long-term risks. Especially on the issue of food safety, how to let the public understand and judge its urgency has become an important issue.

Second, all three groups of reports mentioned cross-departmental communication and integration, emphasizing the need for information across different departments to address risk issues. Including the Ministry of Environment, the Ministry of Health and Welfare, the Ministry of Economic Affairs, and the Ministry of Education were all mentioned, showing the importance of information integration.

Furthermore, the report mentions that discussions need to be conducted for different groups, including long-term care groups, children, etc., and how to bring environmental education to life, from carbon rights issues to how to deliver correct information at grassroots nodes, etc., are all issues that need to be discussed in depth.

On the other hand, the report also mentions how to use issues as a distinction, so that different users can see the information they need most, and emphasizes the importance of community communication. Issues of urgency are emphasized, such as daily risks such as noise and vibration, while issues such as pedestrian safety are also mentioned.

Finally, everyone concerned about how to reduce risks, and emphasized the need for customized services for highly sensitive or vulnerable groups. Inventory the level of the community, including the management committee, and how to combine different channels and interfaces such as social media to exchange information.
