Abstract

After World War II, Japan’s economic development led it into the ranks of economic powers rapidly. But at the same time, Japan’s pollution, environmental problems, not only to Japan’s natural environment caused great damage and pollution, but also to the physical and mental health of the Japanese people caused irreversible harm. In 1964, the Yokohama Municipal Government of Japan took the lead in signing an agreement with enterprises on the prevention of public hazards, thus opening the prelude to the agreement signed by the government and enterprises after the war. After more than 30 years of practice, these public nuisance prevention agreements have effectively solved the problem of public hazards in Japan. From the current point of view, China’s environmental governance management system still adopts the central government-led model, under which the enthusiasm and autonomy of local governments can’t be brought into play, and the central government has a heavy burden on environmental governance. Therefore, Japan’s local government plays a leading role, and the central government combined with the governance model is worth learning from China. By introducing the system of the agreement on the prevention of public hazards in Japan and analyzing its legal nature, this paper concludes that it is of great significance to introduce the system into China’s current environmental management model, which mainly focuses on administrative compulsion.
