Public works for preventing disaster must be implemented for emergency. But if confrontation between construction of safety and environment preservation is once caused, the propriety of public work tend to be decided by most residents' consciousness and an opinion of few people who actually met emergency such as floods damage and are afraid of a coming disaster is often neglected.
This interview research was carried out for the residents who live around Daiju barrage in the lower Yosino river for investigating the residents' consciousness about the referendum on public works, disaster prevention, environment preservation, and so on. As a result of analysis, it was shown up that there are some difficulties in the referendum which asks the right or wrong of a disaster prevention work.
This paper offers the alternative way to treat the result of referendum to compensate the faults.
