Abstract

The authors advance the research for the realization of an environmentally sound material-cycle society based on citizens' participation from 2002 to 2005.. “Forum for creating environmentally sound material-cycle society based on citizens' participation” has hybrid system which one is stakeholder conference, another is citizens' panel conference. In this paper, we evaluate the stakeholder conference. Stakeholders discussed several important points for which environmentally sound material-cycle society is explored, then, they evaluate Nagoya's efforts to reduce wastes. At last, they compile elements of it. As a result, we found that elements showed by stakeholders were considerably different from those of experts and the administrations, and provisions of Basic Law for Establishing a Recycling-Based Society.
