- Abstract
With the advance of urbanization, the resistance movements caused by NIMBY facilities are appearing endlessly. This thesis, combining Theory social movement with Mediated contention and based on NIMBY movement, makes a comprehensive analysis of several cases through Qualitative Comparative Analysis and presents the evolution process of NIMBY movement. The study shows the reason why NIMBY movement evolves into violent group events is the combination of some essential elements, including the form of struggle, participants' protesting activities and their active use of media. The division of administrative system has little influence on its evolution, while the framing process and Elite alliance split have a say in explaining this, but they are not necessary conditions. New media and traditional media are employed together in NIMBY movement, and there is no obvious distinction for their status. Based on this, the author hold the view that the legal rights of the public should be taken seriously and public participation in deciding where to locate NIMBY facilities should be strengthened; what's more, it is advisable to establish effective explanation mechanism and enhance public confidence. Besides, the government should spare no efforts to realize the Mediatization of running a state and grasp the dominance of communication.
