This study is on the project of forming the community zone at Wakahisa district in Fukuoka-city. We researched the process of agreement and opposition between the conference and the resident by analyzing the conference minutes and the interviews to the dissenters and the conference members. It became clear that the mutual communication, sharing of information and flexible response to the dissenters were required to promote the agreement at the beginning of the project.The opposition causes the careful supply by the conference members to the residents, the interest of the residents for the project and the deeper discussion by them. As an effect, the community of the district strengthened.
