Science, Media and Policy Collaboration in Practice: Bird Flu Case in Bali, Indonesia
Abstract: This paper discusses
how science (scientist) and policy (government) collaborate on the bird flu
case in Bali Indonesia and the importance of public participation in dealing
with the case. It is concluded that
the collaboration between
science and policy
in the bird
flu case in Bali
Indonesia has not
well practiced. There
is a gap
and conflict between them because
they have different analytical paradigm, interest, and point of view. Public
participation is very important because it can encourage them to set up
quick response mechanism and increase public awareness of the danger of the
virus. So they can stop the spread of the virus by themselves.
