Abstract
This paper reports a consensus building process of the Citizen Participating Road Planning Project of Akame-taki prefectural road, Nabari city in Mie Prefecture. The project tackled for local residents, advertised citizens and some members of the Akame District Promotion Conference to participate and work on road planning at a design work-shop (WS). The participants of WS were possible to propose multiple routes, however, had a difficulty to select the last on a stage of the planning process. This was due to difference of opinion that some participants felt to avoid house relocation, another thought important to contribute the road to community revitalization. Therefore, they hesitated to agree the final. By an effort to adjust participants' interests, they reached agreement. The lesson from this case is to clarify the interests of participants, and to provide with proper information that participants can evaluate validity of proposal routes.
