public interest Explanation: I think publicity is not correct. Quickly off the cuff I think the meaning is closer to "public interest". Rikaichan offers this for 公共性: 公共性 こうきょうせい (n) publicness (degree to which a particular action will affect society as large); public nature; commonality And my online Mac dictionary: こうきょうせい0【公共性】 広く社会一般に利害影響を持つ性質。特定の集団に限られることなく,社会全体に開かれていること。 |

public nature / renown Explanation: I think that I would associate "publicity" more with advertising or media promotion. |

public,publicity,publicness Explanation: If you are translatiing from Japanese to English, the target language word publicity is used by Rolls, he used public, publicity and publicness. By publicity perhaps he meant that it (mainly referring to the nature of information) has an access from, and is open to all members in community, can be known to anyone. below is references but I recommend reading some John Rolls text. http://www.ppsa.jp/pdf/journal/pdf1999/1999-01-001.pdf -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 day2 hrs (2013-02-18 00:58:08 GMT) Post-grading -------------------------------------------------- Of course it's Rowles, excuse me for miss spell. Rolls is not an American in the first place. Reference: http://www.ppsa.jp/pdf/journal/pdf1999/1999-01-001.pdf Reference: http://ameblo.jp/smilebb5/entry-10903003330.html |
