很少有研究集中在价值结构,经验和文化多样性,因为它涉及到生物沼泽的规划和实施。我们使用“机会点互动”来了解以前没有记录的粤语移民社区对美国俄勒冈州波特兰雨水管理生物沼泽设计和使用的看法。大约一半的参与者没有意识到bioswell功能。维护成本和美观是人们关注的问题,但停车和安全不是问题。缺乏中文的宣传材料、晚上和周末的工作时间表以及维护责任不明确是公众参与的障碍。总体而言,对该市和市政府官员缺乏信任是显而易见的,阻碍了外联和参与。强调非正式性和基于地点的数据收集附近bioswales作为中立的户外空间,并接近参与者的住所,促进了与这个“难以达到”的人口的沟通,并揭示了信息,将去未知的使用传统的推广策略。
Few studies have focused on value structures, experiences, and cultural diversity as it relates to bioswale planning and implementation. We used ‘Point of Opportunity Interactions’ to understand previously undocumented views of the Cantonese-speaking immigrant community regarding bioswale design and use for stormwater management in Portland, Oregon, USA. Approximately half of participants were not aware of bioswale function. Maintenance costs and aesthetics were noted concerns, but parking and safety were not. Lack of outreach materials in the Chinese language(s), evening and weekend work schedules, and lack of clarity about maintenance responsibility were among barriers to public participation. Overall, lack of trust for the city and city officials was apparent, and hindered outreach and engagement. Emphasis on informality and place-based data collection near bioswales as neutral outdoors spaces, and proximate to participant residences, facilitated communication with this ‘hard-to-reach’ population and revealed information that would have gone unknown using traditional outreach strategies.
