社區營造最重要的精神為民眾參與、自己打造居住的家園，但台灣民眾因相關知識的不足，大多數的人是屬於被動的，政策議題的規劃執行就交由少數團體去做，喪失了原本的美意。有鑒於此，北投於2004年首次將公民會議引進社區議題中，希望藉由此來引起更多的討論、讓更多人關注自己的家園。此外，公民會議的進行可說是利益衝突與協調的過程，要如何在衝突之中達成對整體最好的提案，以及如何刺激或是控制衝突的發生是本研究的重點。 本研究主要是搜集北投公民會議的紀錄、整理相關資料，針對一些不足的地方進行深入訪談，並將衝突理論套用至公民會議之中，發現適度的衝突的確能激發無限的創意，公民會議也確實為整個社區帶來許多新的想法。或許這樣新的做法還有許多地方待改進，但也因為公民會議的引進使民眾參與的精神更為落實。希望藉由本研究的整理能為其他社區舉辦類似活動時提供參考。 The most important spirits of community empowerment projects are citizen participation and one’s commitment to building community in a neighborhood. However, due to the lack of related knowledge, the majority of the people in Taiwan do not take an active role in community participation. Unfortunately, planning and execution are led only by a few. In reflection to this phenomenon, Beitou introduce the consensus conference into community problem, and hope it can lead more discussion, let more people concern his own homeland. Besides, the process of consensus conference is series of conflict and negotiation, how to stimulate and control the conflict situation is this research’s purpose. This research collected record of Beitou consensus conference and arrange related data, interview some related people. At last, put the conflict theory into consensus conference，and found appropriate conflict can stimulate limitless creativity, it indeed brings lots of new ideas to the community. Though it may need to improve in the future, it put the spirit of citizen participation into practice.
