Note (General): type:Technical Report
In this paper we reexamine the process of environmental capacity building in Osaka prefecture government to find some implication for East Asia. Main findings are: first, the conservative attitude and ad hoc approach at the outset, along with the priority on the economic growth policy and lack of laws, deterred polluters to comply with the emission standard and made anti-pollution movement fierce. To get compliance from polluters and social acceptance for environmental administration scientific approach became the only possible way, but it takes several years to complete them, and thus to launch effective measures. Second, Osaka prefecture government could not enhance environmental management capacity without any central government support, even though she had some capacity to conduct them. Third, this system of total pollutant load control reduced NOx emission from factories directly and reduced total SOx and COD emission indirectly by clarifying the minimum volume of reduction as a target. The effectiveness, however, was limited within a decade and it failed to prepare other technical measures that can reduce emissions in a more cost-effective way.　　This experience in Osaka may have two implications for East Asia. First, it is essential to set a maximum permissible emission volume clearly based on thorough scientific study, while it may entail high monitoring cost. Second, it is indispensable for the central government to respect local initiatives and to help to build their environmental capacity through legislation of environmental laws, delegation of some regulatory authorities, technological transfer on scientific studies and on on-site inspection.
