A Comparative Study on The Public Participation in Environmenal Assessment, the application of the system and the social background.

在本课题中，笔者对环境评价公众参与的制度和问题、公众参与制度的应用和环境评价的社会背景进行了研究。我在1999年出版的著作和论文中报告说，以罗比诉讼为代表的协商和同意形成制度在英美国家，特别是英国和新西兰的环境保护过程中非常重要。此外，在新西兰，土著(毛利人)的参与是评估过程中的要素之一，也是社会形态的有效要素之一。然后，英国、瑞典和挪威的公众参与环评过程中，也包含了这些项目或企业将带来的景观影响的评价。而技术政策是这些国家评估体系中伙伴关系的重要组成部分。特别是在瑞典、丹麦和荷兰，这种制度应该得到高度重视，而在德国，它应该是当地行政程序之一。关于北欧国家和德国的环境评价制度及其社会背景，我于1999年在国际影响评价协会、环境法律与政策协会的学术会议上作了报告，并对这些制度和社会背景的总结进行了研究，包括美国的战略评估。

In this project, I have studied on the system and problem of public participation in environmental assessment, the application of the system and the social background. I reported in my published books and papers in 1999 that the systems of the consultation and the consent formation including Robby-action as the representing the public are very important in environmental conservation process in Anglo-American countries, especially England and New Zealand. In addition, in New Zealand, the participation of Native (Maori) is one of the elements in the process of assessment, and also this system is one of the effective elements of social formation. Then the public participation in the process of environmental assessment in England, Sweden and Norway, also contain the assessment of landscape impact which these projects or enterprises will bring. And the technology policy is important composition as one of partnership in system of assessment in these countries. It is discussed especially in Sweden and Denmark and in Holland, that such a system should be high considered and in Germany, it should be one of local administrative procedure. About the environmental assessment systems and its social background in Nordic countries and Germany, I reported at academic meetings (International Association for Impact Assessment, Association for Environmental Law and Policy) in 1999, and I am studying on the summary of these system and social background, including strategic assessment in America.
