Abstract
In order to survey necessary elements for smooth risk communication on contaminated site in residential area, a group interviewed was conducted for three groups of residents. The site was contaminated with dioxins and owned by City of Kita in Tokyo and Urban Renaissance Agency (UR), and the residents want to live continuously at the site. The content of the interview is (1) provision of information to the resident by the government, (2) correspondence of the government to requests of residents, and (3) selection of countermeasures by residents. When the contamination was found, the information of the government could not reach to the residents. Therefore, the residents could not trust in the government. However, the government has continually tried to respond the request from the residents. After this, communication has done well, and the residents could accept a risk managing method that covers the contaminated soil.
