從性產業發展趨勢探討臺北市性專區劃設的空間意涵

Abstract

性專區的議題自大法官於民國98年11月6日以釋字第666號解釋文，宣告社會秩序維護法第80條第一項第一款原條文違憲後，後續增訂之同法第91-1條關於在專區內從事性交易係合法的條文，即便授權予各縣（市）政府因地制宜，制定自治條例，然各地方政府礙於該議題所涉層面太廣，遲遲未敢推動專區劃設作業。地方政府劃設專區的時程看似遙遙無期，但各縣市既有紅燈區或特種行業的聚落由來已久，在法源已具備、區域未明確的情況下，本研究透過探討性產業的歷史演進，並旁徵博引國外案例的做法，將焦點鎖定在臺北市範圍內，對專區的可能範圍，做概念性的空間意涵闡述，或許待未來因地制宜的時機成熟，政府官員即能直接取材參考，而臺北市既為臺灣指標性城市，一旦能發揮帶頭作用，則現時的資料準備、政策預擬及預置配套，都將減少成立前後的磨擦和衝擊。性產業的發展趨勢大多牽涉到地理位置、交通因素、社會輿論、治安維和，抑或當代時空背景下的政策推動、都市計畫等影響。所謂空間意涵，原意並非如民國62年6月27日臺北市政府所頒布的「臺北市管理娼妓辦法」般地定義明確的營業範圍，而是依據現狀所呈現象，將產業發展趨勢、社會風俗民情納入考量後，以電子圍籬或地理圍欄的概念，整理聚落區域並想定合適範圍，更貼切地說，是想像中性專區會有的樣子，而非現實中該專區建成或逼真的樣貌。透過歷史演進的探討不難發現，性工作者的工作自主權，自古便是較為被動且迫於無奈的隨波逐流狀態，因此在大法官釋字第666號重新喚起對其平等權重視的同時，期許性專區能早日施行，讓這些工作者的平等權能真正被實現，不再淪為口號。The issue of sexual district originates from No. 666 explanation of grand justices on 6th November, 2019 that declared the No. 80 code of Social Order Maintenance Act against Constitution was unconstitutional. Even there is a subsequent amendment of No. 91-1 code which regulates the legal sex trade that was completed in certain district and authorized all local governments to take measures according to specific conditions to formulate self-government ordinances. However, every local government is afraid of the relevant aspects too wide to implement the delineate scope of sexual district.The deadline for delineation of sexual district which is conducted by local government will be no end in sight. In the circumstance of ready source of law but scope of district, the redlight area or special industry have existed for a log time in every county or city. This study mentions a conceptive spatial implication for a possible scope of district and focuses on Taipei through the discussion of historical evolution in sexual industry and citation of foreign practical cases. Maybe there will be a great opportunity to act according to local conditions and the staff of Taipei city hall can refer to this study in the future. Taipei has been an indicative city in Taiwan and if it can spearhead other cities or counties, the friction and conflict will be eased in the preparation of materials, the formulation of policies and the supposition of complementary measures.The trend of sexual industry’s development involves in geographic position, traffic factor, public opinion, public order, policy promotion or urban plan on the background of timeline and space. The spatial implication that means the phenomenon of present situation in the consideration of trend of industry’s development and provincialism, can be sorted out the gathering area and assumpt appropriate scope by geo-fencing or geo-caging, not being meant for an exact business scope as the declaration of Prostitute Regulations of Taipei on 27th June, 1973. More appropriate speaking, it is the imagination of sexual district not the appearance of a built one in reality or a realistic one.We are easy to discover that the autonomy of sex workers is more passive and they have no choice but to follow the crowd from ancient time. Therefore, when No. 666 explanation of grand justices arouses us to pay attention to equality of sex workers at the same time, we expect the implementation of sexual district comes true earlier and then lets their right to equality to be fulfilled, not just a slogan any more.
