| Research Abstract |
This study has argued the relationship between scientific investigation and citizen participation in the process of institutionalization of environmental assessment, with particular focus on whether these two values of environmental assessment are mutually contradictory or mutually supportive. Primary source materials since 1970s and in-depth interviews with the people involved were used. It was found that the process of institutionalization of environmental assessment has been the long-term struggles of four sectors regarding which sector took the main role in environmental assessment, and that the form of scientific activities and that of citizen participation varied according to the consequence of the struggles.
