 note = {Dispute resolution procedure of Japanese public works based on “The Standard Form of Agreement and General Conditions of Government Contract for Works of Building and Civil Engineering Construction: GCW” was studied. Unilateral matters were not existed in the settlement method of dispute with active endeavor between owner and contractor. However, dispute resolution procedure with third party was thought to have some problems. Dispute resolution committees are supposed to be a neutral third-party. However, all secretariat offices of these committees are located in the same building as public works execution organizations. Furthermore, some arbitrators belong to public work execution organization. Most of the lawyers and professors practicing as arbitrators do not have either construction and (contract) related education and experience. It is doubtful that such kind of people and organization are making fair judgment. Such kind of situation is thought to be one of the reasons to make any business process not following the formal clauses of contract. To develop transparency in the construction industry, any construction business process should follow the contract. To develop independent arbitration function, arbitrator should be made required to have enough knowledge of construction and related fields.},
