The issue on moral consciousness occurs in many engineering fields, including civil engineering. One of the ways to solve this issue is the promotion of the behavioral change by stimulating moral consciousness. The objective of this study is to investigate relationship between behavior and moral consciousness when people face a social issue on moral by fMRI experiment. We collected two types of participants, one with legal and the other with illegal cycle parking. We observed the change of the brain regions of the participants that were supposed to be associated with moral consciousness when the participants were requested to answer the choice between non-cooperative and cooperative behaviors in response to hypothetical social issues. We found that brain activation was different between legal and illegal cycle parking persons.
