Public hearing in Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) is one of important opportunities which allow stakeholders to express their own opinions. There are few researches that analyze the contents and characteristics of opinions provided through public hearings. We surveyed implementation styles of public hearings of EIA systems by local governments in Japan, and analyzed the contents of stakeholders' opinions appeared in minutes of meetings from the two viewpoints; elements of environmental impacts driven by implementation of proposed projects, and elements of institutional procedures of EIA. 38 of 47 prefectural governments prescribe public hearings in their systems, and 11 of 13 cities designated by Ordinance do the same system. 75 percent of those systems do not allow discussing between stakeholders and project proponents. Of those local governments, 12 have already implemented public hearings for actual cases. The result of an analysis shows that opinions classified in view of environmental impacts were related to types of proposed projects, while many opinions classified in view of EIA procedures referred to survey, prediction, or evaluation, were less connected with project types.
