## 第 4 章 地方公共団体における公害苦情の処理

住民から寄せられる公害苦情は、健康と生活環境の保全に関する相談という側面と、行政に対する不満の表明という側面を併せ持っており、公害行政に関する種々の問題を包含している。また、公害苦情は、住民の公害防止に向けての直接的な行動であって、住民の公害に対する関心の度合いとも関係があり、被害のすべてが公害苦情として寄せられているわけではないが、公害被害の現状を反映しているものといえる。

公害等調整委員会では、全国の地方公共団体の公害苦情相談窓口に寄せられた公害苦情の件数や処理状況等を把握することにより、公害苦情の実態を明らかにし、公害対策等の基礎資料を提供するとともに、公害苦情処理事務の円滑な運営に資するため、公害紛争処理法第49条の2の規定に基づき、毎年度、全国の都道府県及び市町村（特別区を含む。）を対象として「公害苦情調査」を実施している。

## 第1節 公害苦情の受付状況

## 1 全国の公害苦情受付件数

平成 25 年度に新規に受け付けた公害苦情件数は 76,958 件で、前年度（平成 24 年度）に比べ 3,042 件（対前年度比 3.8%）減少している。

最近の推移をみると、平成15年度には調査開始（昭和41年度）以来初めて10万件を上回った後、16年度は一旦減少し、17年度、18年度と続けて増加したが、19年度以降は7年続けて減少している（図1－4－1、表1－4－1）。

注2）平成22年度の調査結果には、東日本大震災の影響により報告の得られなかった地域（青森県、岩手県、宮城県及び福島県内の一部市町村）の苦情件数が含まれていない。
