在厭惡型高污染性設施設置過程中，往往因「鄰避情結」導致民眾以圍廠、靜坐或罷課、集會演講或示威遊行等方式進行抗爭。警察雖非環保之主管機關，但卻是集會遊行之主管機關，因此，往往必須主動或被動的介入環保抗爭活動。而有關環保抗爭中警察究竟應扮演何種角色以及採用何種衝突管理模式，才能較有效協助政府或開發單位化解抗爭並降低環保抗爭中之損傷程度，此乃是本研究主要探討內容。本研究擬以嘉義縣市地區之垃圾焚化廠及公民營電廠(含電塔)之設置為研究範圍，透過問卷調查蒐集相關資訊做實證性之研究，並獲得一些具體的成果，本研究成果主要有下列五項： 1.有86.5%以上的受訪者反對在自家附近設置厭惡型高污染性設施。2.受訪者在抗爭訴求目標方面之看法以要求「回饋或補償金」的比率最高，其次為基於健康理由。 3.受訪之警察與民眾對環保抗爭警察最佳衝突管理模式之認知有極顯著性差異存在，認為採取「協商及動用強勢警力兩者兼顧」或「溝通協商方式為主」最佳之比率民眾高於警察，而採「動用強勢警力為主」4.受訪者認為環保抗爭警察最佳角色扮演，若依認同比率高低依序排序為「秩序維護者」、「協商溝通者」、「犯罪防制者」及「政策協助者」。5.警察採不同衝突管理模式對抗爭民眾之影響力有差異，當採用「協商及動用強勢警力兩者兼顧」之模式時，民眾接受協商條件之程度最高，而「執意動用強勢警力排除抗爭」之模式時，大部份的民眾會改以溫和柔性的抗爭方式，但此種模式未能完全化解抗爭活動。 On the process of installation of high pollution facilities, the syndrome of NIMBY ( Not In My Backyard ) often leads to all kinds of protest and demonstrations from local citizens. Police is not accountable to environmental protection events, yet police is still accountable to the Act of Parade and Meeting. It is, therefore, the police responsibility to get involved in local people's protest and demonstration activities directly or indirectly. This study attempts to explore the role of the police and the proper model of the police while they face local people anti- high pollution facilities protest activities. Taking Chiayi County and Chiayi City destructors and public and private power plants as research objects, this research uses questionnaires to collect relevant data, this study finds: 1. Over 86.5% respondents oppose to install high pollution facilities around their neighborhood;2. most of the respondents appeal to compensation once the decision of installing high pollution facilities had been made, next popular appeal is to taking people’s health condition into consideration;3. there is a significant perceptive difference between the police officers and citizens who were interviewed. Citizens prefer to use negotiation process or to use police physical force to deal with protest problem, however, police officers prefer to appeal police physical force to solve the problem;4. with regard to the proper role of the police when they face confrontation, espondents prefer police to be a ' order maintainer', ' negotiator', 'crime suppressor', and ' policy assistant' in turn;5.there is a different result if the police adopts different conflict management model. Citizen would try to negotiate with authority once the police resort to negotiation and physical force; citizen would soften their confrontation if the police resort to physical force only. Nevertheless, 'physical force model' is not able to solve the problem of people's protest and demonstrations.
