Abstract
Decision-making of the site for the medium and low-level radioactive-waste disposal facilities in 2005 can be estimated as a success. But the limits exposed during the process still remain as problems to be solved. Analyzing the causes of success and failure of the policy and their correlation was expected to provide an effective guideline on future policies. The analysis shows that the transparency of policy makers, the level of community supports and the public relations are decisive factors. System dynamics, a synthetic analyzing tool, is used as a methodology for policy analysis. The result of the system dynamics analysis shows that public confidence is to be the key role to for and against logics when transparency of stakeholder, subsidy and public information are set as adjustable parameters. Public confidence takes a role of leverage that can convert tendency of conclusion by the opinion which influenced by selected parameters.
