Of the total 1,830 municipalities, 1,398 departments (76.4%) returned the questionnaire. The principal component analysis was applied to the 33-item's data composed of aspects from the current environmental condition and degree of importance on the environment used for the multidimensional analysis. As a result, five principal components were extracted both these aspects, and each the first principal component was grasped as the synthesis scaling on the easiness of daily living among the mental disorders in their communities, respectively. The first component of the current environmental condition was interpreted as the cognition of current status, and its score indicated the value of the status. Then the first component of the degree of importance on the environment was interpreted as the cognition of importance, and its score indicated the value of the importance. On two-dimensional space composed of axes consisted of the status and importance scores, every municipality was plotted out Furthermore, using four quadrants on the space, there was distilled the community environmental traits into four patterns.
