This study aims at refining techniques of simulation and gaming as an exploration tool seeking for the requirements of consensus building, creative solutions or self-change of social system that has various kinds of roles and in that they compete with each other. It means to require that we have to describe problem situations by using a system theory of multi-agent system. We need to 'DIG INTO' them in order to get the break-through of the limits of existing simulation and gaming techniques.Our original proposal was aiming at developing a practicalgaming-simulator, but we found out that its technical difficulty and requirements of the resources depend on its 'contents' for implementing, so we had better do theoretical works at first such as adequate definitions of 'contents' classes. After all we had changed our research focus much more technicallyBut we has spent two and a half years for the 'DIGGING INTO', because our problems cover broad range of academic fields not only social-engineering in narrow sense but also sociology, psychology, law study, economics and so on.In this study, we surveyed existing gaming-models on 'urbanization conflict' that were published from 1970 to 1985, and examined characteristics, especially two facets of the conflict, such as 'interest-conflict' and 'cognition-conflict'. We refer to hypergame theory describing 'cognition-conflict', we also refer to 'procedural system design' for implementing network type gaming simulator, we refer to 'Assisted Negotiation for Large Retail Stores and Town Management Organization' and 'Visual Simulator for Townscape Formation District Planning Support'
