Abstract:

NIMBY conflict is community members’ practice and environmental movement to strive for rights and benefits concerning their living environment.The ethical dilemma between protecting environmental right and shirking civic responsibility,the difficulty caused by more attention to interest demand rather than environmental protection,and the priority between living environment and social development,constitute the three-dimensional right dilemma in NIMBY conflict,and they also make it possible to govern NIMBY conflict.To avoid NIMBY conflict and get out of right dilemma,transcendence in three directions should be realized,namely,in the balance between environmental protection and civic responsibilities,in the co-construction of interest demand and the concept of environmental protection,and in the co-advancement of social development and living environment.

Key words: NIMBY conflict, environmental civic right, right dilemma, public benefit, cooperative governance
