In Japan, waste PCB, which is one of persistent organic pollutants, is planned to be destroyed by regional facilities developed by Japan Environment Corporation. However, there is concern about NIMBY (Not in My Back Yard) syndrome led by residents living in the vicinity of where the facility will be constructed. To explore strategy to weaken the feeling of NIMBY, this research discussed the characteristics of risk communication and risk management in the planning stage of waste PCBs destruction project in Kitakyushu area, in comparison with the case of PCB incineration in Takasago city. As a result, it was found out that Kitakyushu case promoted the risk communication more effectively in the point that they use chemical decomposition system, in which dioxin is not discharged and monitoring method is established, Also, the disclosure of information and communication through web has contributed to the effectiveness. Furthermore, some content pages were described on the risk-based communication platform which supports clients to understand the structure of risk for decision making.
