Governments ought to take policy stakeholders’ demands into account while making public policy so that policy-making can be with fairness and justice. However, stakeholders often have cognitive conflicts in formulating or decision making if a public policy involves multi-goals and multi-values. Hence, it is important for governments to find out the key to reduce cognitive conflicts and this is the motivation for this study.
“The Renovation of Dalong Elementary School”is a topic with high disputes which present not only “cognitive conflicts” but also “verbal conflicts.” Especially the public officials of Taipei City Government and citizens possess different cognition to the case. The study takes the Social Judgment Theory (SJT) with Lens Model (LM) to explore policy stakeholders’ cognitive conflicts in this case--“The Renovation of Dalong Elementary School.”
The research findings show that the public officials and citizens pay different attention to each clue, which therefore cause many conflicts between them on this issue. The consistency of clue utilization for both public officials and citizens is fine, though the former is better than the latter.
According to above results, this study proposes the following suggestions for the government while formulating the relevant public policy:
First, the Taipei City Government should clarify the site selection of the parking lot built in the elementary school and assess traffic flow. Second, the Taipei City Government should assure the security of school buildings and evaluate future crowd and economy after reconstruction. Finally, the Taipei City Government should hold public hearings for this kind of issue.
