Abstract

Abstract Critical logistics studies find that government legitimacy has faltered due to contemporary supply chain capitalism and its logistical mediation. They also find that the ongoing pandemic has extended the government’s logistical power. This paper attempts to analyze the Macao government’s application of logistical media, the device used for the coordination of people, goods, and information during the pandemic. Three types of performance will be discussed: 1. the urban infrastructure functioned to disseminate information and mobilize people, such as the typhoon alert system; 2. location-based functions of smart cards, which have failed to track data for epidemiological surveys; and 3. the interoperability of management systems between different local governments that needed to be fixed. All of these factors complicatedly affect the legitimacy of the government rather than merely enhancing or contesting it in an either/or approach.
运作、失败与修复:疫情期间澳门的后勤媒体与合法性
批判性物流研究发现,由于当代供应链资本主义及其物流中介,政府合法性已经动摇。他们还发现,持续的大流行扩大了政府的后勤力量。本文试图分析澳门政府在疫情期间对后勤媒介的应用,后勤媒介是一种用于协调人员、货物和信息的设备。本文将讨论三种类型的绩效:城市基础设施发挥了传播信息和动员人民的作用,例如台风警报系统;2. 智能卡的定位功能,无法追踪流行病学调查的数据;和3。不同地方政府之间管理系统的互操作性需要修复。所有这些因素都复杂地影响着政府的合法性,而不仅仅是以非此即彼的方式增强或质疑它。
