This paper examined the feasibility of environmental policy from the viewpoint of consensus building in the local community. In contemporary Japanese community theory, the community is discussed along with the association (This association refers to social association in Associative Democracy). There is a problem in terms of the feasibility of consensus building in the relationship between association and community. The problem is that stakeholders will not participate in consensus building in the community. This thesis pointed out that the viewpoints of 〈Sustainable Commonality〉 and 〈Motivation for Participation in Commonality Work〉 are important for solving this problem.
This paper examined the practices of environmental policy from concept of “共生” (Kyosei) discussed in environmental ethics and “風土” (Fudo) theory. In conclusion, this paper found that 〈Experienced Self-Motivation〉 is important for 〈Motivation for Participation in Commonality Work〉 for consensus building in the local community.
