Abstract
The aim of this paper is to examine the formation of university students’ environmental consciousness and behavior. A survey has been given to university students in Japan, China and Malaysia. Those university students’ consciousness and behavior toward the environment are divided into “Environmental consciousness and behavior in daily life” and “Consciousness and behavior to solve environmental issues.” Then, comparative analyses have been conducted. The following were the results: 1) Many of the students have concern for environmental problems and also possess thorough knowledge of them. 2) There is a gap between student’s “Environmental consciousness and behavior in daily life” and “Consciousness and behavior to solve environmental issues.” 3) Students’ consciousness and behavior for environmental problems are related to personal attributes and experiences.
