Outline of Final Research Achievements

This study focused on communication during infrastructure development and examined the actual situation and improvement measures for road projects in the Chugoku region.
A survey of the current status of communication used for evaluation at the time of planning revealed that negative frames tended to be used more often and that wide-area frames were not used.
Based on the above problems, a communication improvement communication tool was created, and an experiment was conducted in which the current tool and the improvement tool were presented to the subjects. The analysis results suggest that the communication design and frames enhance the image of the infrastructure and trust in the government as the maintenance entity, and that the image of the infrastructure enhances the awareness of acceptance of the maintenance and the awareness of using the infrastructure with care.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

インフラ整備時の住民とのコミュニケーションは、合意形成や事業の推進を目的として行われることが多かったと考えられる。しかしながら、本研究では、整備時のコミュニケーションの内容によって住民の地域意識や、整備後のインフラへのコミットメントに影響を及ぼす可能性を示唆した。これは、コミュニケーションが事業化時のみならず、事業化以後の地域とインフラのあり方に影響を及ぼすことを示すものであり、今後のインフラ整備時のコミュニケーションの質的改善に貢献するものである。
