Abstract :
Risk is not only real, but also constructed by social institutions and various actors. Knowledge has important role in constructing risk, especially in industrial and technological disasters. Unlike in natural disaster, in industrial and technological disaster, there must be a responsible party for occurring disaster. Therefore, the construction of the risk is not only influenced by the real risk it self, but also economic interest of the responsible parties like Chisso Corporation in Minamata disease disaster and Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO) in the context of Fukushima Nuclear disaster. This article analyzes contestation of knowledge in construction of the risk in the Minamata disease disaster and Fukushima Nuclear Disaster in Japan. In addition, this article explains the involving actors and the strategies taken to construct risk in both disasters.
