While this is introduced into so many local governments, it is hard to say if the importance and the indispensability for making our participatory method are functional or well examined. So, through observations, questionnaire surveys and theoretical translations, this article will show some remarkable features of Citizens’ Deliberation, although it is not a perfect solution. As a result, in regaed to diverse participatory methods, Citizens’ Deliberation has strong possibilities to open discussion arenas, to formalize convergence processes of citizens’ opinion, to make shared opinion(s) among citizens, and to put aggregated experiences into the municipality.}, pages = {22--32}, title = {A Tentative Study on the Citizens’ Deliberation/Shimin-To¯gikai in Chigasaki City ?
