Abstract(in English) We are aiming at the construction of the Citizen-Oriented Political Information System that presents the political information in a local politics to support the cooperation of the local assembly member and the resident. In this paper, we propose a method to extract the political opinion of the resident from blog automatically and to match the opinion with the concerened political activity of the assembly member. This matching method is based on cosine similarity measure and feature agreement measure between vectors of which features are nouns in an expression of the member activity. Because the expression is different from expressions used in blog generally, the features are enhanced by using Bunrui-Goi-Hyou to bury the difference. We have conducted a survey of 15 assembly members of the Otaru city council in their activities and a matching examination with 60,000 blog articles. As a result, we have confirmed that 1,162 enhanced words have the matching number increased from 369 to 535 and that 21 articles in the 30 high ranked articles have been matched correctly.
