This study aimed to consider to functions in consensus building of the consultation under ordinance on renewable energy tax for regional coexistence including viewpoints from institutional linkage, in the case of Shiroishi City. The results showed the consultation was operated by the proponent, confirmed the environmental impact assessment process, and provided local residents further opportunities for participation. Furthermore, the functions had comprehensive evaluations of the plan with the features of local contributions. However, they had several issues as for requiring the intent of the proponent to be certified as a tax exemption, a balance between contribution and operating income, and rationalization with other systems.

In recent years, China has made strong national commitments to waste reduction and circular economy, including the implementation of mandatory municipal solid waste separation policies and the rollout of zero-waste city initiatives. These efforts represent a strategic shift toward systemic environmental governance. However, the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic in early 2020—and the subsequent implementation of the country’s stringent zero-COVID policy—led to an abrupt disruption of these programs. Under this policy, strict lockdowns, quarantine of both confirmed and suspected cases, and city-wide containment became top priorities, sidelining environmental initiatives such as waste separation and sustainable waste infrastructure development. This study investigates how Chinese residents’ motivations for waste separation evolved across three key phases: pre-pandemic, during the zero-COVID enforcement period, and post-pandemic recovery. Grounded in the Theory of Planned Behavior and pro-environmental behavior theory, we developed an extended model incorporating pandemic-related social, psychological, and policy variables. Based on 526 valid questionnaire responses collected in late 2023 in Shanghai, we conducted structural equation modeling and repeated-measures analysis. Findings reveal a significant shift from externally driven compliance—reliant on governmental enforcement and service provision—to internally motivated behavior based on environmental values and personal efficacy. This transition was most evident after the pandemic, suggesting the potential for sustained pro-environmental habits despite weakened policy enforcement. Our findings underscore the importance of strengthening internal drivers in environmental governance, especially under conditions where policy continuity is vulnerable to systemic shocks such as public health emergencies.

ABSTRACT

Biodegradable plastic products offer a promising approach to mitigating the environmental impacts of conventional plastics. This study integrates trust, attitude, and stimulus‐organism‐response theory to elucidate the influence of contextual factors (infrastructure, economic incentives, biodegradable labels, and publicity and education) on consumers' trust, attitude, and purchase intentions (PI). Partial least squares structural equation modeling and necessary conditions analysis were employed for analysis. The results indicate that infrastructure and economic incentives positively influence PI through the dual mediation of trust and attitude. Biodegradable labels and publicity and education only positively influenced PI via trust. Additionally, all contextual factors were necessary conditions for attitude and trust. Attitude and trust are necessary conditions for PI. This study advances sustainable consumption research by illustrating how contextual factors interact with consumers' internal states to trigger sustainable transitions, and offers practical insights to prioritize critical contextual stimuli, enhance trust and attitudes, and contribute to sustainable consumption objectives.

Geothermal energy is widely considered a clean and renewable energy source, yet it faces significant social opposition in several countries, including Japan, Kenya, Greece, and Switzerland, among others. These challenges are often linked to trust issues. East African countries are actively developing their geothermal energy resources; however, some projects, such as the Olkaria IV and Akiira geothermal energy projects in Kenya, have faced social resistance. This study investigates the factors influencing trust in geothermal energy projects by analyzing public participation materials included in the Environmental and Social Impact Assessment (ESIA) reports of seven geothermal projects in the East African region. Firstly, 150 comments related to trust were selected from a total of 680 comments in the public participation materials. Secondly, a two-step qualitative inductive coding approach was employed to develop four trust categories and fifteen issue-related codes. Finally, dummy variables were created using SPSS 24, and statistical analyses, including correlation and chi-square tests, were conducted. The findings indicate that trust issues predominantly concern corporate trust (34.67%), technological trust (33.33%), and procedural trust (28.67%). Correlation and chi-square analyses revealed that these concerns are linked to employment, corporate support (e.g., corporate social responsibility projects), environmental and social risks, and public engagement.This study emphasizes the importance of fairness and transparency in employment, corporate social responsibility activities, and public engagement, as well as the necessity of communicating and mitigating environmental and social risks both before and during the implementation of geothermal energy projects. It recommends that policymakers establish clear, transparent guidelines for public engagement and strengthen legal frameworks regarding land ownership and resettlement to reduce conflicts. Additionally, corporates should focus on enhancing transparency in corporate practices and ensuring procedural fairness to foster trust with local communities and leaders.

With China's shift towards modifying its coal-based energy mix, developing nuclear power and constructing nuclear power plants have become central strategies. While nuclear energy offers economic and environmental benefits, the impact of nuclear science popularization on people's attitudes, especially those of students, towards nuclear power development remains a concern. This study examines university students’ needs and attitudes towards nuclear science popularization. Data were collected through a questionnaire survey ( n  = 506) administered to university students studying in Guangdong Province. Regression analysis revealed that university students’ willingness to study nuclear science is related to their concerns about nuclear science, their need for nuclear knowledge and their support for nuclear energy. In addition, only 12% of students have learned nuclear knowledge in university classes, and 13% have acquired that knowledge outside of classes. Notably, 89% of students want to learn more about nuclear science in the future. These findings suggest that nuclear science popularization efforts should identify and address the factors influencing students’ willingness to learn so that effective measures can be implemented to improve nuclear science popularization.

Sustainability in mega events has garnered increasing attention due to the interplay between environmental, social, and economic factors. However, analyses of the evolving of sustainability reporting in mega events, particularly in identifying key areas of focus, persistent gaps, and the influence of global challenges such as the COVID-19 pandemic, are lacking. Herein, we present a systematic review of sustainability-related documents from the Tokyo 2020 Olympics and EXPO 2020 Dubai, structured according to the Global Reporting Initiative framework, incorporating the Sustainable Development Goals. Text mining and correspondence analysis revealed a noticeable shift in the attention toward sustainability before and after the events. The focus shifted from socioeconomic issues to health and ethical concerns, primarily driven by the pandemic. Although academic documents reflect these concerns, official documents exhibit modest changes. Furthermore, underrepresented sustainability indicators were identified, highlighting the scope for further research and adopting a comprehensive approach to sustainability in mega events.

Abstract

Bioplastics have the potential to mitigate plastic pollution and contribute to the achievement of the UN Sustainable Development Goals (UN-SDGs). However, the proportion of bioplastics in total plastic production is still comparatively low. Understanding consumers’ willingness to pay (WTP) and influencing factors is essential as consumers’ demands drive the need for production. A discrete choice experiment (DCE) was conducted to investigate consumers’ WTP and identify underlying drivers and barriers to sustainable purchase intention. Results showed that 89% of the time consumers chose the bioplastic medical masks while 11% of the time chose not to purchase. Biodegradability was the most valued attributes which reflected on the highest premium price for product that are biodegradable under six months. Consumers preferred first generation raw material rather than second and third generation raw material. Moreover, greater bioplastic percentage and free of pollutants information were preferred properties. By estimating the influence of covariates, results showed that education level, income, personal innovativeness, subjective norm, and influence of COVID-19 acted as drivers, whereas age and perceived policy effectiveness acted as barriers to sustainable consumption of bioplastic products. Based on the results, policy implications include highlighting sustainable attributes that consumers value, providing quality and reliability information, informing and educating targeted consumer groups, enhancing policy publicity, and adjusting policies based on feedback. These results can be used to develop market promotion strategies for bioplastic products and to increase bioplastic market shares and penetration.

The focus of public service delivery on sustainability and universal access has enabled the enactment of many community-based programs in Indonesia. However, relevant studies that examine the willingness to pay among households that utilize community-managed facilities are lacking, despite it being one of the most important factors for maintenance and a strong indicator of commitment. In the present study, we aimed to estimate household users' preferences and willingness to pay (WTP) to understand their demand for related services. It estimates household user preferences and willingness to pay to understand the demand for related services through a choice experiment. By comparing all service attributes, the results highlight that users derive the highest utility if they updated reactors and pipelines, and, conversely, if the responsible authority is changed. The desire for quality improvement and service expansion were confirmed using this model. The mixed model estimated a willingness to pay of 0.03-3.13 USD for average users, depending on the attributes. Our findings confirm that families who belong to a community that operates a decentralized system derive greater benefits from improved maintenance; thus, they are willing to pay more to enjoy the service. Notably, at its core, a community-managed system, such as the Sanimas Program, is a co-production initiative between multiple levels of government institutions and local residents. Therefore, maintenance actions should involve resource- and payment-intensive efforts, such as half-year sanitary desludging and system replacement owing to deterioration and hazards. Policy regulations that correct the distribution of roles among partners for maintaining the system should be initiated. These findings provide evidence for the government's commitment to the community and could help convince other stakeholders to redirect their attention to supporting sustainable system performance.

Abstract

The Erdenet mine (Erdenet, Mongolia) is a copper–molybdenum open pit mine with a huge tailing pond and is located next to a residential area. As the sources of drinking water in this area rely on groundwater and can be categorized into public or private wells, we aimed to assess the groundwater quality of the different types of drinking water wells. To accomplish our goal, we analyzed 18 trace metals (As, Ba, Bi, Cd, Co, Cr, Cs, Cu, Ga, Mo, Ni, Pb, Se, Sr, Th, U, V, Zn) and 8 major metals (Al, Ca, Fe, K, Mg, Mn, Na, Si) samples using ICP-MS and ICP-OES, and the heavy metal pollution index, heavy metal evaluation index, and degree of contamination were calculated. The most concerning point is that the Mo concentration of waste water in the Erdenet mine tailing pond and at a natural spring located 300 m from the tailing pond was 1100 μg/L, which greatly exceeds the WHO permissible concentration for Mo of 70 μg/L. Furthermore, high Ca and Mg concentrations at all private wells indicated that consumers of these wells are more vulnerable to any type of water pollution, as these wells are not built with any disinfection or treatment system. A modified categorization of the water quality indices showed that the public and private wells have low–medium contamination and that the tailing pond seepage water, along with its nearest spring, have a high degree of contamination. Because many private wells are located along the tailing pond and used directly without any treatment, we suggest a continuous evaluation and monitoring of the groundwater quality in this area.

Geothermal energy serves as a viable alternative to fossil fuels in developing countries, catering to electricity needs, supporting socio-economic development, and striving towards sustainable development goals.  It also poses potential negative impacts on the environment and society. This study conducted a comparative analysis of mitigation measures and stakeholders' concerns across eight environmental and social impact assessment reports (ESIA) for geothermal energy development projects in Djibouti, Ethiopia, and Kenya. Mitchell's mitigation hierarchy guideline (1997) was used to examine the purpose of 708 proposed mitigation measures for eight environmental and nine social criteria extracted from the literature and then a deductive qualitative content analysis were used to categorize these measures according to 18 criteria collected from the literature. Additionally, using an inductive qualitative content analysis, the study analysed 680 stakeholders' concerns sourced from public participation materials in the ESIA reports, identifying four main thematic categories and twenty-two subcategories. Stakeholders expressed concerns predominantly about socio-economic (52%) and development matters (20%), while ESIA reports offered fewer social mitigation measures (28.7%) compared to environmental ones (71.3%). Nonetheless, a strong correlation between the environmental and social mitigation measures proposed for our 17 criteria demonstrates a higher proportion of measures in power plant construction projects. Despite this, communities voiced apprehensions about new involuntary resettlement plans, economic opportunities, and unrealized corporate social responsibility (CSR) projects. Furthermore, the study revealed that local communities complained about the adverse effects of previous geothermal development projects, including air, water, and soil pollution, impacting their health, crop production, and livestock. This research highlights the discrepancy between stakeholders' concerns and mitigation measures in ESIA reports, attributed to possible inadequacies in the conduct of social impact assessment and public participation, leading to misunderstandings regarding project impacts and benefits among local communities. To address these issues, this paper recommends a more comprehensive understanding of social aspects, the consideration of cumulative impacts from other geothermal projects in the same area, and transparent communication to avoid unrealistic or costly promises during the realization of ESIA reports for geothermal energy projects

This study aimed to clarify the correlation between setback distance, local acceptance, and negative impacts of the distributed wind power project and identify the proper setback distance according to subsidy. The related policies and regulations for wind power systems and information on the distributed renewable energy demonstration project clarified its recognition, as well as the factors correlated with satisfaction and acceptance. Accordingly, a questionnaire for centralized and distributed wind power projects was designed to investigate awareness regarding local wind power projects and related questions for the control group. Correlations were seen between satisfaction, setback distance, and negative impacts. To obtain a fit setback distance for distributed wind power systems, the data were entered into SPSS regression models. The following formula was obtained: Satisfaction = 2.828 -0.016 * Distance + 4.305e-5 * Distance² -2.447e-8 * Distance³. Other questions assessed the distance that respondents were willing to increase or decrease if subsidy could be obtained, and the results were close to normal distribution. The mean of 483.79 meters indicated that respondents found it acceptable to live near distributed wind farms with an 8% discount in electricity bills when the setback distance was set at 484 meters.

As regulations have developed, the waste management sector in Indonesia has increasingly expected producer involvement in waste reduction activity through the enactment of new regulations. In addition, the recent development of the waste management sector now involves community-based approaches such as waste banks. This study aims to determine the relationship between extended producer responsibility implementation and the waste bank concept. A questionnaire survey was designed and applied to waste bank members of two waste banks in the Bandung municipality, Indonesia. Several factors were identified that can be considered by producers to promote their contribution in dealing with the packaging waste issue, such as producer consideration and contribution, knowledge level, collection, and awareness of the importance of packaging waste issue. The result also shows that involving feedback from waste banks can provide some insights to expand and develop producer contribution in reducing the impact of packaging waste. Producers can improve collection and recyclability of their product packaging while increasing public knowledge on their activity at the post-consumer stage.

The capital city in Mongolia comprises two types of dwellings: apartments and Gers. The Ger is a traditional Mongolian house. Residents of Ger districts in Ulaanbaatar use coal as a source of fuel for daily activities such as heating and cooking in winter due to lack of central heating systems. After coal burning, the ash deposited at the bottom of the oven converts into a powder containing heavy metals that are toxic to human health. Through questionnaires at sites where concentrations of heavy elements were identified in our previous study, we examined the heavy metal exposure pathways of coal ash, which has potentially adverse effects on the health and quality of life of Ger district residents. Survey results indicate that residents have to store the coal ash in packing bags and metal garbage cans near their household fences for at least two weeks because of poor waste management. Owing to the weak seals of the packaging material and open metal cans that contain the coal ash, it is easily transported into surrounding areas by the wind. Adults come into contact with contaminated soil when they are cleaning areas outside and inside the fences, and children are exposed when they play outside the fences. Such activities enhance the dermal exposure as well as inhalation and ingestion pathways of the contaminants for adults and children.

Landfills are mostly used to manage solid waste in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. Due to inappropriate administration, there have been numerous issues over the years relating to odor and leachate. The purpose of this study is to explore the impact of odor stemming from Da Phuoc landfill site on surrounding areas. A questionnaire survey was administered through face-to-face interviews with 409 residents living in the affected areas. The findings of this study indicate that the odor perception of residents significantly influences their attitudes towards waste disposal sites. The results show that odor affects not only the region around municipal solid waste (MSW) treatment facilities but regions more than 7 km away as well. The data indicates that the odor emanating from the MSW disposal site negatively affects the daily life of many residents. This study is an effort to finding a solution to reduce the impact of odor generated from the landfill site on nearby residential areas.

<p>Necessity of a hydrogen energy society has recently recognized and installation of hydrogen stations have actually been increased. However, it has been found that local residents concern about safety of hydrogen and reported a local opposition due to its project development. Although appropriate information-providing is necessary to get agreement, but factor of getting agreement is not clear enough. This study aimed to clarify factors affecting on local residents' attitude to hydrogen stations by conducting a questionnaire survey on local residents living near hydrogen stations. As a result, it was revealed that the necessity of hydrogen stations was likely to be related to the acceptance rather than the risk. It was also clarified that the knowledge of hydrogen did not necessarily contribute to enhancement of the acceptance.</p>

<p>Small wind power which is defined as a turbine with less than 20kWh capacity has recently increased in Japan. However, little is known about the community acceptance of small wind power in previous studies so far nor in the actual situation due to no specific regulations. Therefore, the purpose of this research is to clarify the community acceptance from viewpoints of environmental, psychological and geographical factors. In order to achieve it, a questionnaire survey was conducted, targeting 129 municipalities where the small wind power or its guideline was already installed. The other questionnaire survey was also carried out on local residents living near small turbines in Oga city, Akita prefecture to clarify the community response. The actual installation of the small wind power and major factors of community response were eventually revealed.</p>

<p>The purpose of this research is to establish a method for measuring airborne asbestos concentration that can obtain an analysis value with the accuracy required for administrative guidance quickly at an analytical instrument owned by a local government.</p><p>The time required to count a sample was measured using phase contrast microscopy and scanning electron microscopy. We compared about the eight types of measurement methods described in the asbestos monitoring manual from the results of verification experiments and literature surveys. The comparison items were the state of ownership of measuring machines in local governments, portability to dismantling sites, measuring conditions, analysis accuracy,purchase price of measuring machines, the analytical advantages and issues. As a result, it was judged that simplification of the phase contrast microscopy method with maintaining the analysis accuracy was most effective.</p><p>We verified the time required for measurement, analysis accuracy (the lower limit of detection, the error range of the measured value) when the sampling time and the number of counting fields of view were changed in phase contrast microscopy.</p><p>The asbestos monitoring manual describes conditions (sampling 30 minutes and the counting 100 fields of view) for when particularly quickness is required, and the calculated measurement time was 2.2 to 4.7 hours, the lower detection limit was 0.4 fiber / L, and the error range of measurement value was 1.6 fiber / L. As a result of comparing the measurement conditions, when the sampling time was 2 hours and the counting 50 fields of view, the measurement required time was 2.8 to 4.1 hours. And when the sampling time was 1 hour and the counting 100 fields of view, the measurement required time was 2.7 to 5.2 hours. Under both measurement conditions, the lower limit of detection was 0.2 fiber / L, and the error range of the measured value was 1 fiber / L.</p><p>These two measurement conditions were almost the same in measurement time and higher in analysis accuracy,compared to the measurement conditions especially when rapidity was required. It is considered that these two measurement conditions can be used when promptness is required in on-site inspection at the time of asbestos-containing building demolition and renovation works.</p>

In this research, geothermal introduction potential evaluation was conducted in consideration of environmental and social conditions using GIS, and issues to introduce geothermal power generation in Japan are examined from the perspective of both the nation and selected prefectures in the future. As a result, it was suggested that 9.3% of geothermal introduction potential may increase due to deregulation of the latest national parks in the national review. Furthermore, it was shown that the geothermal introduction potential of the same degree or more exists in the vicinity of the hot spring resort. In Akita prefecture and Oita prefecture, social risk of development accompanied by population fluctuation decreased while social risk in tourism economic side tended to increase.

In Japan, promotion of wind farm projects has been considered as one of the key elements in terms of the energy security. Proponents has, however, been confronted with oppositions to their projects recently. So far, little is known about the solution of environmental disputes due to wind farm developments. In this study, the survey on newspaper articles and the questionnaire on those who were against the projects were conducted, and analyzed factors potentially leading to the dispute resolution. As a result, followings were clarified; physical plan modifications such as downsizing of the turbine, relocation of the site, were likely to be one of influential factors. Non-physical modifications such as conducting supplemental survey by the proponent, creating community benefits, the adoptive management would be effective to get agreements.

<p>Environmental impact assessment (EIA) is globally considered an effective environmental management tool for supporting the sustainable development. It has been widely used worldwide. While there are few studies which analyze the contents of EIA reports due to lack of the information, Chinese government has started to disclose national level EIA reports since 2014. It would be effective to make clear the characteristics of Chinese EIA with the disclosed information. The objective of this research is to study the characteristics of EIA reports in China by analyzing the tendency on EIA applications from 1999 to 2014 as well as EIA reports in 2014. Two kinds of methodologies have been applied, document survey and statistical analysis. For statistical analysis, two kinds of analysis were conducted in this part, which are trend analysis and content analysis. Trend analysis would suggest that EIA system has been well set up in China but the quality of the whole review process itself still needs to be questioned. From statistical analysis, we found in some cases lower levels of estimation methods were applied for environmental items with higher assessment magnitudes.</p>

While waste banks collect recyclables in several cities in Indonesia, their activities are not sufficiently investigated yet. We conducted a questionnaire survey for residents in Balikpapan city and analyzed relationship between recognition, awareness, actions of residents and activities of the waste banks. The result suggests that awareness and actions of residents near the waste banks for waste separation are promoted by use of the waste banks. Based on the result of relative analysis on waste separation actions near the waste banks, we found that there were relationships among concern and recognition of waste issues and waste separation, evaluation and implementation of waste separation actions, and dissemination of importance of waste separation to others. This result implies that activities of the waste banks promote the relations.

Environmental conflicts arising from concerns of local residents and environmental protection groups pose a significant barrier to the further development of wind farms in Japan, as in other countries. There has been increasing discussion about countermeasures to address the concerns and ease conflicts. In order to design a smooth and adequate planning system of wind farm developments, this study aims to demonstrate factors that determine the success and failure of conflict resolution at the project stage. To do so, this study focuses on public participation at the project stage, and analyzes its function in light of the site-specific difficulties determined by the characteristics of the project. Through eight in-depth case studies, the results demonstrate that the projects with a high level of site-specific difficulties are much more likely to be unsuccessful regardless of the levels of public participation; therefore it indicates the limitation of practice to ease conflicts at the project stage. Barriers discovered to hinder developments include "designated areas regulated by the Natural Parks Act" and "the disclosed 10km grid habitat for Golden Eagle." On the other hand, the projects with a low level of site-specific difficulties are more likely to be successful with a high level of public participation at the project stage.

This paper aimed to clarify factors influencing environmental conflict occurrence during the planning stage for wind farm projects in Japan. After studying conflict occurrence situations and the main conflict issues for 155 large-scale projects across Japan, we focused on both physical and social factors as explanatory variables and applied a quantitative method using binary logistic regression analysis. The main findings were:(1) environmental conflicts had occurred in 59 projects as of May 2012 and the main issues could be classified as noise/infrasound, sediment- related disaster/hydrology, landscape, nature destruction and birds (esp. raptors); (2) turbine number and size were influential factors as structural aspects, while there was no significant association between proximity to turbines and conflict occurrence; (3) sites located within natural parks, national protection forests, sediment-related disaster hazardous areas and wildlife protection areas designated by relevant acts and ordinances showed higher conflict occurrence, and proximity to such areas could be influential as well; (4) habitats for Golden Eagle, Mountain Hawk Eagle, White-tailed Eagle and Steller's Sea Eagle significantly encouraged conflict; (5) in terms of social aspects at both the national and prefectural level, conflict occurrence was strongly associated with the existence of past conflict experiences and complaints about noise and/or infrasound generated by operating wind farms.

In Japan, knowledge of factors in the social impacts produced by wind farms is not enough. This study conducted an interview survey for residents living near the coastal wind farm in the hilly area, and then analyzed how and why the perception/annoyance of noise and shadow flicker occur. As a result, it was clarified that the distance between wind turbines and residents was not a significant factor. On the other hand, a visual element, how they could see wind turbines, was a significant factor. In addition, followings were found: adverse impacts due to shadow flickers had greatly generated in the coastal area, the rate of annoyance became worse when residents recognize plural social impacts, and residents tended to evaluate scenery of turbines negative.

The EIA Law was revised based on the re-examination of a decade implementing. These improvements of the EIA practice of the national government potentially improve practices of local governments, after EIA ordinances affected by. However, although all local governments have set up their own EIA review committee, the Law amendment didn't deal the committee system because of lack of such committee system in national practices. On this background, we conducted a questionnaire survey of local governments on the practices of the EIA review committee in 2006 and 2012. And we compared the results of our survey and clarified the actual condition of the review committee and challenges for improvements in these years. We also point out the potential for improvements from results of an additional questionnaire survey to some committee member.

Although Japan is very rich in geothermal resources, the geothermal power development has stagnated due to the high cost, strict development regulations and ingrained opposition campaigns of the local residents. In the near future, consensus building is most likely to be the biggest issue on the geothermal power development. The purpose of this study is to clarify some factors that could influence community acceptance through a comparative analysis of the two case studies. As a result, we have found that some noticeable difference between the two. They are: the diversity in the use of geothermal resources in the local areas, the concreteness of information that could affect the risk recognition of the local residents, and the process of the risk management by developers.

After the transition to democracy, Mongolia has formulated a policy to promote sustainable development and bring an EIA system here. However, the EIA requires transparency and accountability, and these mechanisms are weak at the decision making level due to the influence of socialist procedures. This study reviews the current situation of public participation in EIA in Mongolia and aims to identify necessarily decisive issues with legislative processes regarding EIA law. The results show that the overall level of public participation in EIA is a token, close to non-participation in practice. To renew the EIA systemand methods of public participation is critical to formulate "meaningfull replies".

The opportunities for public participation are increasing, but many of these are not working satisfactorily. So this paper reports the analysis of discussion dynamics from adopting concurrent discussion, as one of some solutions to this problem, as a case of the social experiments at real society. As a result of comparing of issues exchanged, total numbers of all discussion groups were almost the same, but issues about future plans at the concurrent sessions were more various and original than that at the plenary. And it was showed that many statements at plenary session continued former one consciously, many exchanges at concurrent session processed freely. These indicated that adopting of the concurrent sessions was effective for development of discussion.
