Abstract
Recently, a hearing from inhabitants is required when public works is carried out. However, not many people can participate in a public hearing. Then, the argument in a public hearing or a committee meeting may be pursued efficiently by using information of a questionnaire survey. This paper is focused on developing a process to mitigate conflict among Mugishima Castle Examination Committee members. The committee members discussed how to go about preservation of the excavated castle relics in view of a road project. In this committee, CVM survey was employed to elicit views of household in Yatsushiro City, but the members had been conflicted each other. After breakup of the committee, however, part of the disagree members, cooperated to make a proposal for developing Mugishima area. In this regard, this paper aims to analyze what influenced committee members preferences and if result of CVM survey influenced them consciously.
