DEFINITION

Noun

A Government agency established in various communities to mediate in neighbourhood disputes.

由来
  • 英语“Community Mediation Centre”的意译。
  • 1998年，新加坡律政部（Ministry of Law）在马林百列（Marine Parade）设立本地第一间社区调解中心。
  • 隔年，第二间调解中心设于宏茂桥（Ang Mo Kio）。
  • 当局意识到有些居民会为了彼此间的小摩擦而报警处理。然而，这些纠纷往往不在警方管辖范围内而无法受理，因此当局便设立调解中心试图解决这些问题。如此一来，不仅居民的问题能够得到妥善的处理，警力也能更合理地运用。
  • 当局希望居民之间僵持的关系能在经过专业的调解后有所缓和。社区调解中心的介入能让居民聆听第三方的意见，从而更清楚、更理性地意识到问题的根本与解决方式。
ETYMOLOGY
  • The Mandarin term “社区调解中心” is a paraphrase of the English term “Community Mediation Centre”.
  • In 1998, the Ministry of Law set up the first Community Mediation Centre in Marine Parade.
  • The following year, a second centre was established in Ang Mo Kio.
  • Community Mediation Centres were set up as the authorities noticed that residents would contact the police for minor disputes. As such disputes are often not under the jurisdiction of the police, the Government set up Community Mediation Centres in hopes of resolving them. In this way, the residents’ issues can be dealt with appropriately and police resources can be better utilised.
  • The authorities hope that tense relationships among residents can be improved with professional mediation. The intervention by Community Mediation Centres enables residents to listen to a third party’s perspective and allows them to understand the root causes and solutions of the issues they face more clearly and rationally. 
例句

SAMPLE SENTENCE

相关资料

  • 在社区调解中心受理的案件中，有关噪音干扰的案例占大多数。
  • 2020年，为了遏制冠病的传播，新加坡实施了阻断措施，因此许多人转为居家办公。由于在家的时间变长，人们更容易留意到噪音所带来的影响，这导致到社区调解中心寻求帮助的居民人数有所增加。

RELATED INFORMATION

  • The majority of cases handled by Community Mediation Centres are related to noise disturbance.
  • In 2020, many people worked from home as a result of the COVID-19 circuit breaker measures. As they spent more time at home, they were more likely to be disturbed by noise from their neighbours, leading to an increase in the number of residents who turned to Community Mediation Centres.
