Roles of Civic Group in the Project Process of Donation-Supported and Citizen-Owned Photovoltaic Plant

Abstract

In this study, we clarified roles of civic groups in the project for donation-supported and　citizen-owned photovoltaic plant analyzing the cases of project promotion and continual environmental educations using the plant. We found that civic groups support project promotion by providing information and technical know-how through the process. Civic groups not only host environmental educations, but also develop human resources for environmental educations in parallel with the project’s progress.
