Abstract

This study is based on the survey for the new town inhabitants in the Flower-town district of the Kobe-Sanda International Garden City, which is located outside of the suburban greenery conservation area. As the results of this survey, it shows that about 49% of the inhabitants are nature oriented people, and that about 12% of the inhabitants have much interest in nature, especially nature life. They are also contriving to call some birds and insects into their garden, and beside some of them are living near the forest. Most of the inhabitants want to conserve the mountain forests around there and the green area in the new town. New town located near natural area, such as Flower-town, will have to be planned and designed for the nature oriented people removing from urban area.
