To solve the location problem of a dumping-ground to solution, the government has prepared the legal base that the public sector is going on a plan to construct institutions. Because we need to remove rationally suspicion that local residents are holding about the institution or the enterprise to come to make an agreement with. The dumping-ground has had various influences on the environment of a community. So we expect strongly that the public sector participate in managing an institution. However, the merit does not work efficiently in fact. On the other hand, although it is said that a reaction of local residents to an institution plan is Not-In-My-Backyard preferences, they do not resist their duty completely. Why does the new point at issue about public responsibility arise? This paper summarized the circumstances and the problem of a policy first. Secondly, it takes up two examples in Nagano Prefecture. And this study analyzes how administration would have committed the scene where an environmental control system intervenes in a social control system. The case of the Achi-mura is one of examples. I find that this local government tired to gather information about opinions, to reduce fears about pollution. However, use of the social environmental impact assessment procedure cannot resolve the issue, so disposal problems will continue. Consequently, this paper will show that the reason a practical capability for solving a problem is not heightened by the policy of locating a dumping-ground in a social control system. That is the attitude of the public sector, which is going to cancel the conflict produced when an environmental control system intervenes in the sectionalism of bureaucracy.
