★Invited Papers
Keywords:SDGs, deliberation, participation
To promote inclusive environmental governance that is relevant to geoscience community, the author argues that institutionalization of citizen dialogue is a key. Based on an exploratory case study using the methods for polyphonic dialogue among citizens, and between citizens and experts, participatory deliberate policy process that leads to quality collective action was sought. Citizens are not necessarily the last, and experts are not necessarily the first, in collective decision making.
A random sampling–based citizen dialogue was held in Fukushima, Japan, regarding radioactive waste disposal and involving experts and citizens. Three proposed methods were manner of dialogue, evidence-based and position-explicit presentations by experts with differing views, and experts reflecting in tandem with citizens engaged in dialogue. Attitudes toward dialogue with others holding different views, as well as better internal self-deliberation, or dialogue within oneself, were measured.
