The aim of this study is to carry out a comparative analysis of the everyday consciousness, daily and community activities of the nomads living on the outskirts of Ulaanbaatar and the apartment complex dwellers in the urban areas of the city based on the results of actual condition, questionnaires, and interview surveys to obtain basic knowledge for creating the living and residential environments of apartment complexes in urban areas (urban apartment complexes) based on the regional characteristics unique to Mongolia. The results of the surveys revealed that a heightened sense of community and invigoration of various community activities with resident participation in co-operative activities contributed greatly to the creation and maintenance of good living environments. On the basis of the fact that Mongolians, including the nomads and apartment complex dwellers, have a heightened environmental consciousness, the creation and maintenance of green and community spaces in shared outdoor spaces and the performance of community activities with resident participation in co-operative activities and the reuse and recycling of resources among residents and neighboring districts will also contribute to creating good living and residential environments in urban areas, stimulate communities in urban apartment complex areas where these activities are rare, and reduce the environmental load.
