Abstract
Objectives: The aim of this study was to suggest preliminary data for the establishment of communication methodology of asbestos risk, fit for the features of each audiences, by grasping the features of risk communication by each element for each group survey. Methods: For this study, a questionnaire survey has been conducted from May to August 2012 and responses of 617 people including 214 school asbestos managers, 95 asbestos business managers, and 308 general public have been analyzed. Results: The feature by element of risk communication shows that to give information through non-governmental organizations with reliability such as colleges, research institutes, asbestos-related associations, etc among the entire investigated groups, is most effective. Lastly, for stakeholders related to asbestos, the public feedback for governmental asbestos management policy shows that it was considered that there is lack of reality due to comprehension deficit for situation, lack of a system of asbestos general management in the country and lack of policy connectivity among the branches of the government, and between the central government and the local government. However, the general public selected lack of various information disclosure, education, publicity for asbestos and lack of communication with citizens as the biggest problems.
