Concerns on Solid Waste Management Facilities and Determining Factors Regarding Resident Opposition

概要

論文の詳細を見る
This study aims to clarify both the concerns of residents regarding solid waste management (SWM) facilities, and to introduce what factors determine their opposition to the construction of such facilities. Data was obtained by conducting three different kinds of questionnaire surveys. Residents living in the vicinity of an SWM facility showed stronger opposition than non-neighbor residents, even though groups held similar concerns regarding the environmental effects of the facility. Reasons for their opposition seem to be triggered by the construction itself, and not by the physical or emotional impact caused by the running of the facility. In general, non-neighbor residents hold a more negative image of landfills than incinerators. The intensity of this negativity is well correlated to their opposition, and a grim image seems to strengthen the negative image of landfills. Visiting an SWM facility could be one of the most efficient ways to handle public education, with an aim to lessen the concerns and opposition of the residents involved.
