ABSTRACT
Despite its weak influence in the second period, In-Ward Waste Disposal (IWWD) regained prominence in the 1990s. As explained in the previous chapters, the incinerator siting of Tokyo had been based on a scheme which intended to locate incinerators in the suburb area along the belt lines and at the coastal reclaimed lands; the central part had been excluded from the siting of incinerators. Although IWWD changed this siting scheme in the first garbage war, the incinerator siting plan went back to the old scheme as IWWD lost its prominence. However, IWWD revived and became influential once again in the 1990s. The incinerator siting regained its momentum to go beyond the old scheme once again. Moreover, the idea of the self-responsibility of each ward in waste disposal, which had not been reflected in the policies even in the early 1970s, became influential as well. The two components of IWWD started working together; the influence of the idea of distributive justice reached its climax in the 1990s.
