Abstract

One of the underground research centers for geological disposal of radioactive wastes is located in Horonobe, Hokkaido. The facility is regarded as NIMBY. When considering NIMBY, we face on protected values (PVs), those that resist tradeoffs with other values. Those of placing high PVs often refuse a dialogue, making it more complicated to build a consensus. However, PVs are lessened, given fair procedure adopted. Horonobe research center regularly hold a briefing of the project for public hearing, in which they put a chair in the hands of the opposition group. This episode is regarded as abandonment of authority control (AAC), one of the criteria of procedural fairness. A survey was conducted. The results of multiple regression analysis showed that PVs had a negative effect on the acceptance, however, interaction between PVs and AAC was significant, suggesting that those of high PVs tend to care about AAC and PVs can be lessened if they perceive the authority abandons control.
