The purpose of this article is to clarify the way of symbiosis between a city and a manufacturing company, based on a case study of Kasugai city, Aichi Prefecture and Oji Paper Co., Ltd.By focusing on changes that occur in ‘administration, inhabitants and company’ relationships, I can grasp the transformation in a local area as a shift from unitary management by a local government to local governance which is based on a gentle network of diverse subjects. Actually such local governance can be realized only after its accountability is established publicly.This article examines i) disclosures of environmental issues for public participation, and ii) monitoring & evaluation functions as a feedback for environmental information.I argue that accountability is the key concept of public disclosure and monitoring & evaluation of information. Through an analysis of three examples;pollution resolution process of a paper mill, transformation of a neighborhood protest movement, and present conditions of a PRTR system, It is argued that accountability is a basis for a symbiotic relationship between a city and a private corporation, and that, then, the relationship is shifting from a vertical one to a more horizontal one.
