地方政府建设智能视频监控系统的影响因素研究

智能视频监控系统是地方政府创新治理社会秩序、城市交通与生态环境的新型治理工具和手段。本文以地方政府运用视频监控技术为例,基于2004—2018年全部地方政府视频监控设备采购中标公告文本提取信息,运用生存分析法尝试剖析影响视频监控技术在地方政府间扩散运用的结构性因素。研究发现:同级政府间竞争压力将促进地方政府建设视频监控系统;中央以及省级政策将显著促进地方政府建设视频监控系统。进一步地,使用普通最小二乘法探究地方政府在建设视频监控系统上的资金投入行为发现,省级政策与同级政府间竞争将提高地级市政府对于建设视频监控系统的资金投入,而中央政策指令却无显著影响;并且省级政策对于地级市建设视频监控系统的投入行为的影响,在地方官员不同年龄以及就职年数上存在显著的异质性。本研究有助于理解影响视频监控技术在中国扩散的结构性因素,为我国推进基层社会治理技术化、数字化和智慧化提供有益启示。

Video surveillance system is a new governance device by which local governments innovate the governance of social order,traffic,and environment.This paper uses the construction of Skynet technology as an example,collects the data on government procurement of video surveillance devices during 2004—2018,and analyzes the structural factors underlying the diffusion of surveillance technology across local governments by employing the survival analysis.The findings include:1.The competitive pressure among same tier governments promote the local government to start the surveillance system;2.The central and provincial government policies significantly promote the local government to start the surveillance system.Furthermore,the OLS analysis on the funding of surveillance system construction finds out that the province policy and competitive pressure increase the investment on surveillance system,but the central policy directives have no significant impact.Besides,there is substantial heterogeneity in the impact of province policy on local surveillance system investment,based on the ages and tenures of local officials.This paper helps to clarify the structural factor underlying the use of new information technology by the local governments,and provides insights for understanding the technology and digital orientation of grassroot social government in China.
