Abstract
We showed the relationship between the conscious structure of urban residents and their willingness to coexist with wild mammals and the destructivity of habitat management. As a result of factor analysis, we extracted "naturalness", "availability"and "confrontativeness" as the attitude of residents for wild mammals. Urban residents showed high ecological awareness of wild mammals. Therefore, we concluded that urban residents showed a high understanding of coexistence with wild mammals. And urban residents showed high confrontational awareness. Especially, the perception by urban residents of the confrontational nature of wild animals was high among some residents had experienced damage caused by wild mammals, which resulted in a negative attitude toward their coexistence with wild mammals. Accordingly, it is necessary to evaluate the risk, the relationship between the wild mammals and urban residents in terms of economical and mental confrontations, and to obtain consensus among the residents.
