摘要本文以台湾兰屿核废料争议为背景，探讨环境正义。雅米人的反核废料运动反映了分配不平等、缺乏承认以及部落人民在决策中的有限参与等问题。这些都交织在政治和社会进程中。此外，雅美族与台湾族群在核废料问题上的争执，也显示出环境正义的历史与社会经济复杂性。本研究认为，民主和参与性的程序可能带来承认或有助于改善缺乏承认的情况，这可能有助于更公正的分配。在各种本土环保组织和其他台湾环保组织之间建立伙伴关系和网络，可以帮助兰屿社区和台湾社会朝着环境正义的方向转变。
Abstract This paper examines environmental justice in the context of nuclear waste controversies on Orchid Island, Taiwan. The Yami's anti-nuclear waste movement is a manifestation of problems of distributional inequity, lack of recognition, and limited participation of the tribespeople in decision making. These are interwoven in political and social processes. In addition, the disputes over the nuclear waste problem between the Yami and Taiwanese groups also show the historical and socioeconomic complexity of environmental justice. This study argues that a democratic and participatory procedure is likely to bring recognition or help the situation of lack of recognition improve, which could facilitate more just distribution. Building partnerships and networking within a variety of indigenous environmental organizations as well as other Taiwanese environmental organizations could help to transform the Orchid Island community and the Taiwanese society in the direction of environmental justice.
