Abstract
This paper focuses on two arguments: one is looking for the factors to influence on local government's policy performances with analyzing the innovation policies of recent local governments. Then also, searching for how much citizens accept the local government's policy performances.
I analyzed administrative services, policies, and institutions of 672 cities in Japan. I found that policy execution norm, organization' management norm, and public participation norm influence on the local government's policy performances. The local governments' policy performances, however, did not feed back the local citizen's consciousness. Meanwhile, the interest thing was that more citizens hoped to improve their lives' level, as citizens' participation policies were worked.
