Greenery is expected to reduce the effects of greenhouse gases and the heat island phenomenon. Improvement of the greenery of the environment is also important for residential amenity. In addition, the abundance of personal small gardens may contribute to a better environment.
We investigated the consciousness of residents as related to greenery in a detached house garden. The purpose of this study was to clarify factors that affect the consciousness of residents on the contributions of greenery in a garden to the regional environment, and suggest a better environmental policy for greenery.
Our observations showed that residents recognize differences in the regional range effects of greenery in a detached house garden and clarified that residents distinguish between the living environment and natural environment. These observations indicate that planning of greenery policies with consideration of regional range and intended use are necessary. Factors influencing the consciousness of the effects of greenery were also clarified. These factors include “ interest for environment” , “ community outreach” and “ contributions to society” .
Therefore, we conclude that greenery policies for the overall environmental community are required, and information that a detached house garden contributes to a better environment for the citizens needs to be supplemented.
