The Public Nuisance Reporting case is the most common issue for citizens'' contacting with the environmental agencies. As a result, its processing quality has huge affection on the citizens'' impression towarding governmental efficiency for environmental protection, as well as the confidence on governmental policy. This research is focusing on the Environmental Violation Reporting System of the Environmental Protection Administration, to analyze around 500,000 reporting cases in the last 5 years, by the following factors of population, pollution types, origins of public nuisance, channels for reporting, processing results and public satisfaction. In the respect of pollution types, noise related issues have been found to be increased by the past 5 years and even stands on the most important type by passing the decreasing air quality issues. In the respect of the origins of public nuisance, industry (factory), citizens and commercial activities are the top three items. Among the three, industry was used to be the number one item but now it is the number three; citizens now stands the number one item and the number two item of commercial activities is increasing as well. In the respect of the channels for reporting, "telephone" has over 90% in the total cases during the years. However, E-Mail and internet system reporting are increasing rapidly. In the respect of processing results, "nothing illegal" and "minor case or testified not violating the regulations" are the highest two items in percentage. So public satisfaction is only 20% although most of the citizens are satisfied with the hotline accepters. This research suggested that to adjust the related noise control standards by counting into the "frequency" factor, to enact the "vibration control act" ASAP, to strengthen the citizens'' knowledge towarding environmental protection, to control the different land areas'' usage, to strengthen the training for hotline accepters, to conduct the SOP for hotline acceptation, to encourage the citizens using internet reporting, to strengthen the auditing mechanism, to built the training system for the auditing team, to revise the environmental laws properly, to strengthen the personnel qualification assessment, to make indicators for outer assessment and inner management.....and so on. This research wish to contribute for the public nuisance reporting work, and help to increase the citizens'' satisfaction by meeting their needs.
