鉴于目前的财政紧缩，在世界各地的地方政府系统的共同制作已引起越来越多的关注的文献。救灾志愿工作是地方共同制作的一种重要形式，在这种形式中，地方当局、社区团体和志愿人员协力解决自然灾害后出现的许多人道主义需求。为了使救灾联合制作取得成功，必须利用所有参与团体的比较优势，使它们的贡献同步，从而最大限度地发挥其有益影响。鉴于日本地方政府、民间团体和救灾志愿者参与的合作救灾行动的规模之大，可以从日本的经验中学到很多东西。在本文中，我们通过概念和实证文献的棱镜，以及通过最近的两个启发性的案例研究，研究合作生产在日本救灾计划。从这一分析中得出的各种政策含义适用于日本地方政府之外。
Given ongoing financial stringency, co-production in local government systems worldwide has attracted increasing attention in the literature. Disaster relief volunteering represents an important form of local co-production in which local authorities, community groups and volunteers work collaboratively at addressing the many humanitarian needs that arise following natural disasters. For disaster relief co-production to be successful, the comparative advantages of all participating groups must be harnessed so as to synchronise their contributions and thereby maximise their beneficial impact. Given the sheer scale of cooperative disaster relief operations in Japan involving local government, civic groups and disaster volunteers, much can be learned from the Japanese experience. In this paper, we examine co-production in Japanese disaster relief programs through the prism of the conceptual and empirical literature as well as through two recent illuminative case studies. Various policy implications are drawn from this analysis which are applicable beyond Japanese local government.
