Abstract
Consensus building is necessary for a dam project, although that becomes difficult gradually. For the consensus building, there exist three issues. The first is who should be qualified for the discussion of the projects significance. The second is what procedure/system is effective for it. The third is what kind of discussion are needed. For the discussion of those issues, it is necessary to grasp the typical perception of residents to the dam project.
In the present paper, firstly the residents perception to a dam project was classified. Secondly their perceptual structure which lies in the each perception and their intention to commitment to the dam project for consensus building were examined.
