什么是议会选区重划？

4

法律规定，市议会必须在美国人口普查数据公布后的 6 个月内重新划分其 10 个选区。
每个选区的人口应该大致相同.
根据 2020 年的人口普查，费城的人口刚刚超过 160 万，这意味着每个选区大约应有 16 万人。

重新划分选区可以决定谁在政治进程中有发言权、谁可以竞选公职以及谁会当选。
许多社区因为保持了完整性而得到更好的服务，因为其代表拥有更大的发言权。

由于人口增长较大，选区议员在土地销售和区划规则上又具有较大的权力，议会选区边界也变得越来越重要。
议会议员可以采取不同的方式促进地区发展和解决绅士化问题。

Facilitator Notes:

The target or ideal population of 160,000 people per council district, given the city’s total population of 1.6 million 🠞 1.6M ÷ 10). It’s generally understood that there can be up to a 10% gap between the smallest and largest districts 🠞 (168,400 - 152,400) / 160,000 = 10%
Highlight for participants which council district(s) they are currently part of and whether, according the new Census data, their district(s) need to gain or lose residents.
Question prompt for current district boundaries

According to new Census data, your district may need to [gain / lose] residents. Remember that a district needing to gain residents will grow in size; a district that needs to lose residents will shrink.

Districts 1 and 5 must lose at least ~3,000-4,000 residents (Districts 2, 3, 7 could gain)
District 4 must gain at least ~5,000 residents (Districts 3, 5 could lose)
District 8 must gain at least ~2,000 residents (Districts 5, 9 could lose)
Districts 6 and 10 are each close to the max population and could lose (Districts 7, 9 could gain)

What changes to your current district boundaries, if any, would you recommend to City Council? Why?

您的社区是什么样的？

12

1）如果让您来确定社区、街区和/或城市一部分的边界，您会如何界定？为什么？

是否对附近街区或城市区域有一种共同的亲密感？
有哪些重要或值得注意的地方？（商业区或商业地带、礼拜场所、娱乐中心或公园、用人单位、地标、历史古迹或学校）
社区会议可能是关于什么的？（发展建议或住房、公共安全、药物使用、污染、学校、交通等）

2）您会向市议会建议对您当前所在选区的边界作何改变（如有）？为什么？

Facilitator Notes:

Gathering and elevating input from residents in communities across the city will be a valuable part of the redistricting process.
The purpose of this two-part prompt is to spur the sharing of insights about a particular community including, if they exist, a shared sense of boundaries or geography. A community could be relatively well known or established, including neighborhoods (eg, Yorktown, Cobbs Creek, Mt. Airy) or may revolve around an ethnic or language group (eg, southeast Asian communities in South Philly or lower Northeast, Chinatown, El Barrio). Regions or sections of the city may also be cited.
Multiple communities can be described in the same area and can vary substantially in size. A neighborhood could span a limited number of blocks but could also part of a particular region of the city. The Cobbs Creek neighborhood, for example, as a clear boundary in the creek on the western side; but Cobbs Creek is also part of West Philly.
This prompt is used in a public survey that’s currently available online for any Philadelphia resident or organization. The input gathered will be instructive for both mapmakers among the general public and in City Council. Think of this as sharing testimony with City Council about your community and how it should be considered as districts get redrawn.

您能做什么???

完成调查：帮助我们了解您所在社区或城市区域以及您对当前选区划分的看法（鼓励组织机构参与调查)
与当地的公民、社区或邻里团体一起参加社区会议，讨论关于您所在城市区域，选区地图绘制者应当考虑哪些问题。与议会议员分享有关选区边界如何影响您所在地区的见解也非常重要。
