Abstract
The referendum and the subsequent local government election of the government plan called “Osaka Metropolis plan” were held in Osaka City back in 2015. The event has a significant influence on city planning and civilengineering, hence we have investigated via web survey to examine whether the voters have understood the influences of the Osaka Metropolis plan on the society before they made their voting decision. As a result, the survey suggested that the voters who do not understand the influence of the Osaka Metropolis plan on the society voted a ballot in favor of the proposal than the voters who understand properly the influence of Osaka Metropolis plan on the society. In addition, the former showed tendency of liking candidate's entertainment mood and his ability to implement the reform.
