Abstract

宇宙分野の政策は専門性の高さゆえ一部の専門家のみで形成されているが,一般市民の声を反映させ公共の議論を促す手法を確立する必要がある.本稿では,2018 年度後半に実施した,賛成反対の対立軸を明示し話者を2名立てる「対論型サイエンスカフェ」の概要・流れと具体的な事例報告を行う.対論型サイエンスカフェでは対立軸をもとに意見変容の様子を可視化し,議論の進展とともに複数回参加者と共有する過程を設けた.これにより知識のインプットや参加者同士の議論が段階的に個人の立場を変えていくことを参加者全員で共有することができた.
Generally, the space policy is designed by only a few experts, due to the high level of specialisation required, but it is necessary to establish a method to promote public discussion by reflecting on the opinions of the general public. In this paper, we report the outline and flow of the ‘Confrontational Science Café’ conducted in the second half of the 2018 academic year, in which the oppositional states of approval and disapproval are clearly established and two speakers are introduced. In the ‘Confrontational Science Café’, participants were able to visualise the changes in opinions based on the opposing views and share the knowledge with other participants as the discussion progressed.
