Abstract
In this paper, the authors discuss a waste dumping condition by leisure in a campsite around Yourou river in Chiba prefecture. This research is based on a field survey and a questionnaire survey for visitors and inhabitants. As a result of our analysis, the following assertions can be made : (1) Only 15% of visitors can dispose their waste properly, and they tend to participate in community activities such as a recycling and ecological movement. (2) Most of the inhabitants are not conscious of recycling and ecological concept, but they have the environmental consciousness. (3) Considering that the visitors have close relation to the inhabitants, this field can serve as an area for education and environmental improvement.
