用协商对齐机制让城市规划更公平,照顾少数群体声音
Negotiative Alignment: Embracing Disagreement to Achieve Fairer Outcomes -- Insights from Urban Studies
- 通过角色扮演与中立调解,构建透明的协商评分流程
- 协商后总效用提升21%,最弱势群体效用提高22%
- 适合关注公平性、包容性的城市规划与AI决策研究者
城市评估常将多元需求压缩为单一分数,掩盖少数群体诉求。我们在蒙特利尔开展以社区为中心的研究(n=35),包含轮椅使用者、老年人、LGBTQIA2+居民及移民。参与者对20条街道在可及性、包容性、美观性、实用性等方面打分,并基于12项访谈提炼标准对7张图片排序。分歧具有系统性:轮椅用户在可及性和实用性上分歧最大;LGBTQIA2+群体强调包容与活力;老年人则优先安全。小组讨论减少信息差但未消除价值冲突;打分反映强度,排序迫使权衡。随后我们提出‘协商对齐’机制——一种透明、预算敏感的协商程序,以角色扮演利益相关方与中立调解员试点。相比同一公共标准下的最优基础设计,协商方案使总效用从21.10升至24.55,最差群体效用从3.20升至3.90,第20百分位满意度从0.86升至1.00(归一化),基尼系数由0.036降至0.025。将分歧视为信号,同时报告最差群体结果,有助于规划者与AI实践者揭示权衡、维护少数群体优先级,同时保持效率。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Urban assessments often compress diverse needs into single scores, which can obscure minority perspectives. We present a community-centered study in Montreal (n=35; wheelchair users, seniors, LGBTQIA2+ residents, and immigrants). Participants rated 20 streets (accessibility, inclusivity, aesthetics, practicality) and ranked 7 images on 12 interview-elicited criteria. Disagreement patterns were systematic in our sample: wheelchair users diverged most on accessibility and practicality; LGBTQIA2+ participants emphasized inclusion and liveliness; seniors prioritized security. Group discussion reduced information gaps but not value conflicts; ratings conveyed intensity, while rankings forced trade-offs. We then formalize negotiative alignment, a transparent, budget-aware bargaining procedure, and pilot it with role-played stakeholder agents plus a neutral mediator. Relative to the best base design under the same public rubric, the negotiated package increased total utility (21.10 to 24.55), raised the worst-group utility (3.20 to 3.90), improved twentieth percentile satisfaction (0.86 to 1.00; min-max normalized within the scenario), and reduced inequality (Gini 0.036 to 0.025). Treating disagreement as signal and reporting worst-group outcomes alongside totals may help planners and AI practitioners surface trade-offs and preserve minority priorities while maintaining efficiency.
