Outline of Final Research Achievements

We had a questionnaire survey about street space and neighbor relations from 730 units in 4 places in the Ger Area in Ulaanbaatar.On analysis, there are differences in residents' knowledge of the community, cooperative behaviour, and attachment to the community depending on their history of residence, residential styles, and the foundation of relevant areas.
People in the Ger Area have poor interpersonal relations and weak foundation of the community in general, however, there is diversity of the involvement in neighborhood relations and public space depending on areas.
We have tried to return the profit of this study result to the study areas by publishing an academic article and a report, and also publishing a book and giving a lecture for citizens in Mongolia.
