Research of Applied Ethics on Establishing Criteria for Setting up CCTV in Public Space

这项研究的目的是提供一些关于CCTV的伦理或法律论点的数据库，有助于建立在公共空间设立CCTV的标准。我们的研究成果主要由三部分组成。首先，海外调查：Asama在芬兰Tanpere高中提问(他还将这些结果与他对日本学生的同一份问卷调查的结果进行了比较)，松尾在北京的采访(在采访中他调查了中国学生对社会监督和隐私权的一般态度)，以及松尾参加在加拿大举行的国际会议(这是政府和学者中针对隐私权领域举行的最大会议之一)。这些调查预计将为目前在日本进行的讨论提供一些更广泛的视角，这些讨论的视角似乎非常狭窄。其次，松尾和研究合作者日野(北海道大学研究生院学生)对委员会进行了调查，该委员会是为制定札幌市建立中央电视台的指导方针而组织的。委员会会议在2007年举行了五次，我们有机会参加。像这样的委员会越来越需要从公民的角度考虑隐私权，札幌的案例被认为是一个很好的例子，因为从申请者中挑选了两名公民并包括在这些委员会成员中，这在日本是相当罕见的。我们着眼于他们的意见在形成指南时如何被反映或被拒绝的实际过程，并试图澄清我们在这样一个委员会中可能会遇到的基本问题。除了这些调查外，我们还对有关中央电视台的书籍和论文进行了全面的调查。最后，松尾从应用伦理学的角度撰写了一篇关于中央电视台的论文，作为对本研究的总结。

The aim of this research has been to provide some database of ethical or juristic arguments concerning CCTV, useful for establishing criteria for setting them up in a public space. Our research results are mainly composed of three parts. First, investigations overseas: Asama's asking questions in Tanpere high school in Finland (he also compared these results with those he got from the same questionnaire to Japanese students), Matsuo's interview in Beijing (in which he investigated Chinese students' general attitudes towards social surveillance and privacy rights), and Matsuo's participation in international conference held in Canada (one of the largest conference for privacy sectors in governments and scholars). These investigations are expected to give some broader perspectives to the discussions now conducted in Japan, which seem to have so narrow a viewpoint. Second, Matsuo and a research cooperator, Hibino (graduate school student at Hokkaido University) investigated the committee which was organized for establishing a guideline for setting up CCTV in Sapporo city. The committee meetings were held five times in 2007, and we had opportunities to attend them. Committees like this one are increasingly required to involve civic perspectives concerning rights to privacy, and the case in Sapporo was considered a very good example of this, because two citizens were selected among applicants and included in these committee members, which was quite exceptional in Japan. We focused on the actual process of how their opinions were reflected or rejected in forming the guideline, and tried to make clear the essential problems we are likely to have in such a committee. In addition to these investigations, we made a comprehensive survey of books and papers concerning CCTV. Finally, Matsuo wrote a paper on CCTV from the viewpoint of applied ethics, as part of the summary of this research.
