It is through community-relations work that the ROC armed forces win the hearts of civilians, thereby improving the civilian-military relationship. For a long time, there have been cases of civilian upset due to military training and exercise, which is usuallycalled "Never in My Back Yard" (NIMBY). However, the current available research on the issues of NIMBY is extremely inadequate. As a result, this study takes the Joint Operations Training Base (JOTB) in Pintung as an example, and tries to evaluate the impact of the ROC community-relations work on the relationship between the base and the civilians living nearby from 2014 through 2016 through literature review and in-depth interviews with relevant cases. The results show that people around the base do understand the importance of national defense and support defense activities, but they were often disturbed by artillery fire or other training tasks, resulting in NIMBY problems. There are differences between responses from the general public and political representatives. In accordance with the results of this study, we call for the development of the NIMBY Scale, detailed analysis of public awareness, and distinguish the target audience to grasp the specific aspirations, combined with more follow-up attention to NIMBY issues through longitudinal research for refining our community-relations policies in time.
