Abstract

As more and more actors participate in the processes of public governance, the concept of collaborative governance has gradually gained attention. This development also affects the field of risk governance, and related research has recently emphasized the interaction and practice of collaborative relationships. However, from a practical perspective, are these relationships and interactions usually positive and smooth? Therefore, this chapter aims to understand the relationship between participants’ willingness and interactive strategies in the process of collaborative risk governance. This chapter first defines the concept of risk governance and then discusses actors’ motivations and willingness to participate in risk governance in the context of a multiple governance structure. The possible impacts of actors’ motivations and willingness to participate in interactive strategies will also be explored. Ultimately, by reviewing the cases of Disaster Prevention and Protection Project (DPPP) in Taiwan, the authors make suggestions on how to improve individuals’ willingness to participate in collaborative risk governance and related ways to enhance the effectiveness of network governance strategies.

The citizens are probably already aware of the risks from these major disasters. They want to do it but they don’t know where to start. That’s why we have such a plan (DPPP) and teams come in. (Interviewee A)
The people have asked that they should not be flooded. It is possible that they can help you faster drainage, then it is already very good. It is possible to use Typhoon Morakot or the 0823 flood standard for drainage, but you also have no way of knowing what standards to use to avoid flooding. (Interviewee B)
After the 0206 earthquake in 2016, the community realized that this Houjia fault is closed to our community and has been looking at the community’s own disaster prevention and relief response, which should be very important. (Interviewee C)
This community was originally a vulnerable area to flooding, so for the safety of the people. Most of the residents in our community are relatively old. Young people live in urban buildings. Old houses [often encountering flooding] house old people. (Interviewee E)

When worked with several buildings in the community to do fire drills, only a few want to participate without incentive. When contacted the building residents, there were no more than ten persons to join. Life and property are important to them, but no one wants to participate (always no time in week days or even in the weekend). The incentive turns into giving away gifts. (Interviewee D)
There are also many members belonging to the elderly, because during the daytime, the elderly will be invited to participate (the training course of resilient community), and young people go to work. Most of the community volunteers or participants have already retired. The older people rarely use computers. (Interviewee G)
This is the same situation when the National Fire Agency promoted fire prevention. Many people who came to participate are elderly or retirees. (Interviewee I-1)

The education levels of the Village Chiefs are also uneven. Almost everything in planning and organizing activities now requires paperwork, so people who can do paperwork are also very important. The community needs some volunteers, such as calling on some retired civil servants. (Interviewee B)
Because [collaborative team] there are partners from National Central University, as well as from the fire department. (Interviewee H)
Since the Morakot Typhoon in 2009, some problems have come out. Everyone started asking for better disaster prevention. However, many of the civil servants resigned the positions of disaster management officers within one or two years, and they changed to a new civil servant to start again. Therefore, the entire disaster prevention system was not built up at all. Fortunately in recent years, there is DPPP, and the collaborative partner in this city is Fengjia University. (Interviewee I-1)

In the beginning, there are several selected criteria. The first is to value the community’s willingness to participate. The willingness part probably accounts for the first priority. (Interviewee I-2)
Last year, the city government held a meeting about DPPP then. Being a new Village Chief, I wanted to learn and then brought this resource into OO Village and let the people know some prevention, common sense, and knowledge in all aspects before and after the disaster. At the meanwhile, the DPPP can provide some resources to help the community improve the situation of floods. (Interviewee G)
