Abstract

This paper pays attention to the locational conflicts of new thermal power plants among private firms, local governments, and local residents at local levels . The locational conflicts around operating and new thermal power plants have long been the nation-wide problem that have put local communities into troubles. The location conflicts may be caused by private firms that would want to operate thermal power plants when they would try to get agreements from residents. The processes to get the construction agreement from residents are not specified, especially in terms of conflict management. Both the location decision of thermal power plant and the construction agreement may bring about even violent disputes between local governments and residents, and between pro-power plant residents and con-power plant residents. This paper suggests the guideline to design more sophisticated process for the construction agreement from residents which is firmly based on conflict management. This paper specifies the roles of a local government head as the neutral manager on the thermal power plant issue. This paper also recommend the use of local referendum to identify the opinion of residents as a consensus-building process.
