The landmark architectures in a city or a region have embodied its unique regional enchantment
and characters, reflecting its well-established culture and tradition. A typical landmark building
should be assessed by the criterion of whether it is appealing to, identified with, or adored by
people to a great extent. In present study, the receptive level of native Beijing residents and
traveling tourists on accepting some most representative landmarks in Beijing was examined
based on their perceptional factors and cognitive characteristics. The result of research will
contribute additional scientific evidences to construction of man-made views for Beijing 2008

The present study examined the relationship of environmental awareness and environmentally
friendly behavior of students. Participants (216 Japanese and 260 American undergraduate
students) were asked how often they engaged in 19 types of environmentally friendly behaviors, in
addition to questions on their environmental knowledge and how they perceive each behavior's
psychological cost, time cost, and financial cost. For Japanese, the most important factor for not
engaging in environmentally friendly behaviors was the time cost. Whereas for Americans, both
time and psychological cost were equally important. Knowledge level did not correlate with
behavior for both groups.

In order to change the impact of a new solid waste incineration system in Meia
Serra/Funchal/Portugal, we developed an intervention trough schools with the following strategies:
Photo album collection of Meia Serra Solid Waste Incinerator (MSSWI), Mascot concourse,
theatre play on the problems caused by the MSSWI, Information pamphlets, and visits to the
MSSWI. To evaluate the impact of this study we develop a test of perception on MSSWI, applied
it in the beginning and in the end of the intervention. Results point to a change in the way people
deal with the presence of the Solid Incinerator.
