Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to investigate how impact of psychology factors on decision for or against nuclear policy varies with areas where they live and their degree of knowledge. For this purpose, we carried out questionnaire survey about nuclear power at three urban areas and two nuclear power plant siting areas. After collecting data, we applied factor analysis to the data, and found four factors which construct cognitive structure of nuclear power. Based on the result, we established each measure of the factors, and evaluated the impact of the four factors on a position for or against nuclear policy by correlation analysis, and compared changes of the impact by the areas where respondents live and their degree of knowledge. In consequence, we found that factors affected respondents' position for or against nuclear policy differ from areas where they live, but not from their degree of knowledge.
