This study aimed to clarify the factors affecting environmental evaluation on the Lake Biwa basin. We conducted a questionnaire survey for residents and analyzed 1102 responses by covariance structure model. As a result, (i) residents who have a strong attachment to Lake Biwa or who have a lot of information sources about lake are more interested in lake, and those residents tend to have a higher evaluation of water quality and ecosystem, (ii) other residents with a lots information sources about lake have a high level of knowledge, and those residents evaluated the water quality as good. (ⅲ) In only the Ado-River basin, residents with higher interest evaluated ecosystems and water quality as good.
