Abstract
The current public awareness of information associated with adaption policy for the climate change was investigated through a questionnaire survey. The relationships between the information awareness and people's priority on the fields probably affected by the climate change (e.g. water environment, disaster prevention, health, ecosystem, and agriculture) was also analyzed. The daily health-related information, such as 'cedar pollen distribution', 'heat stroke risk', and 'photochemical smog alert', was well recognized. Almost 90% of respondents are interested in 'extremely hot weather' and 'heavy rain'. The people who showed higher interests in 'xtremely hot weather' showed higher awareness of all information. Agriculture field is considered to be the most important field, while the disaster-prevention field to be the lowest. For socio-demographic effects, men have higher cognitive rates than women particularly in the disaster-prevention field, and the elder people show more conginitive rates.
