Abstract
There are various methods for citizens' participation such as committee, symposium, public meeting, public hearing, questionnaire, workshop and others in plan making process or plan decision process. Various methods in Muroran City after 1991 were analyzed their contents and were tried to evaluate on the basis of 10 evaluation points considered to activate participation. As the result of total evaluation, workshop was given higher score than other methods. Although the trial of evaluation was done by only the author of this study, it means individual differences among several persons were rejected and all methods were evaluated by the same criteria.
