Abstract
Recently, the term of “local environmental power” is paid to attention. That is the consciousness and ability of maintaining and creating a good environment by uniting local residents together, in order to form a sustainable community. However, at present it is difficult to quantitatively measure and compare with other communities because “local environmental power” was formed by effectively utilize unique characters of individual community and still stays the vague concept. Therefore, in this study, the questionnaire survey was carried out at the residential area “Hibikino” located in the Kitakyushu Science and Research Park. Covariance structure analysis was conducted based on the results, and the formation factor model of “local environmental power” of Hibikino was obtained. Thereby, it turned out that community activity and individual motivation have big influence on formation of “local environmental power”.
