ABSTRACT
Considering that the science/technology is the key factor in social development and innovation, its acceptance depends on the risk perception toward it. Our study aims to analyze the level of risk perception about science- technology, sources of and trust in risk information, and the level of government’s risk communication. The results include, first, that the public show a higher risk perception when risk issues have been specified. Second, people depend on the information from the media and internet rather than government. Third, government provides information about safety more than risk whereas the public have little experience in government’s risk communication. This paper implies that government should adopt the strategies to reduce risk perception toward nuclear energy, by disseminating the information via internet as a main media, and taking balanced efforts to provide the safety and risk information.
