Abstract
都市公共空間需要持續維護才能運作，但是公共空間的批判性研究經常忽略維護勞動，致使空間政治的討論有所缺漏。本文以新北市三重區的公園為例，探討公共空間清潔工作的組織、操作和可能意義，藉此拓展公共空間研究的視野。作者通過現地觀察，並訪談環保局、區公所、居民、里長及清潔人員，描述公園清潔工作的構成，包括管理制度、分工，以及典型與非典型的勞動過程。在這個基礎上，作者進一步探討以女性為主的清潔人員如何在清潔勞動過程中延伸或納入家務領域、通過彈性調適來客製化其勞動方式、安排工作與休息的時空，以及如何應對來自各方的監視之眼。作者主張，對於公共空間維護的關注，可以連結更廣泛的照護勞動，拓展以照料地方和維護城市為核心的都市主義。
Urban public space needs continuous maintenance to operate, but critical research on public space often disregards maintenance labor, resulting in some deficiencies in the discussion of space politics. This study takes the park in Sanchong District of New Taipei City as an example to discuss the organization, operation and possible significance of public space cleaning work, so as to expand the horizon of public space research. The composition of the park's cleaning work, including management systems, division of labor, and typical and atypical labor processes, are described through on-site observations and interviews with the Environmental Protection Bureau, district offices, residents, chief of neighborhoods and cleaning staff. Accordingly, this study further explores how female-dominated cleaning staff extends or incorporates the field of housework into the cleaning work process, customize their work methods through flexible adjustments, arrange work as well as rest time and space, and deal with surveillance eyes of all parties. The authors argue that attention to the maintenance of public spaces can link a wider range of care work and expand an urbanism centered on caring for places and maintenance of cities.
