Abstract
This study can be placed in a series of researches and studies we have conducted regarding the relation between the life style with few environmental burdens the nomads have fostered in their traditional pastoral society and their perception of their life and communities. For the study, the authors conducted a questionnaire survey targeted at the nomads living in the suburbs of Ulaanbaatar in Mongolia and then organized the responses to identify the characteristic tendencies of their awareness of life and their activities.
In this paper, the characteristics of the perception of the living environment the nomads residing in the suburbs of Ulaanbaatar have were compared and analyzed with those of the residents in the ger districts (Gandan district in the Bayangol region) in the urban area of Ulaanbaatar with the aim of identifying similarities and differences in their living environments and perception of their living. By this process, the authors fully understood the actual situation and characteristic tendencies of the pastoral life and also gained a basic knowledge regarding the establishment of a sustainable living environment where coexistence can be found between people and people and between man and nature based on the region–specific environmental characteristics.
