Abstract
A growing awareness of civil and political rights has deepened the conflict between local governments and residents
concerning the location of unwanted facilities. As such, new ways of conceiving resident reaction towards policies concerning
the location of unwanted facilities is needed. To that end, this study focuses upon the conflicting issues that were in place
during the construction of Seoul's Nowon and Kangnam district incinerators. While the issue of safety regulation was
predominant during the initial stage of the conflict, this study argues that economic compensation and the apparent
contradiction between the means and the end were brought to the fore as time progressed. In addition, the residents are
acquiring more and more information by learning and social awareness toward resident resistance movements are changing.
These environmental changes have transformed residents' behavior from the passive to the active. So the government can no
longer do its business with authoritarian development plans. From an institutional and operational viewpoint, the government
should substantiate civil participation, appropriate and diversify economic compensation, and effectively link the compensation
strategy with its other strategies. The government should furthermore formulate well thought-out plans grounded in scientific
methods of research.
