Abstract
In this paper, we study policy making methods by residents on two advanced districts and analyze the conditions of good policy making. First, founding on actual circumstances and problems on policy making process and countermessures to these problems, we clear up subjects on policy making methods based on 'BottomUP' and analyzed those;'Tatewari Gyosei', coordination between an area and the hole city, support systems for policy making, and making mutual consent. In case of Nakano Ward's Neighborhood Board, residents are not interest in policy making for theirself, and subjects are given by Nakano Ward. For these reasons, it is not easy to make mutual consent and the contents of policy making are not high level. On the other hand, in case of Toyonana Citie's Machizukuri Board, the contents of policy making are comparatively high level and making mutual consent is easy. However, being not claear the provisions on enforcement of policy making matters in municipal ordinance, it is not easy to carry into policies by residents.
