Abstract: Our research empirically analyzes the different determinants, state, and changes around environmental attitude in three East Asia countries Korea, Japan, and China. As environmental problems are the first item on the agenda for public policy, it is required to examine environmentalism in the three countries. To conduct empirical research about environmentalism in Korea, Japan, and China, first, we review the existing literature related to environmentalism, especially its determinants, and then we establish the research model. Second, we find out the determinants for environmental attitude by doing a regression analysis. Third, to know the present state of environmental attitude and its determinant factors, we compare the mean scores and their ranks. Finally, to infer the future direction of environmentalism, we draw the past trajectory of change in determinants. In conclusion, we summarized the determinants, state, and trajectory of change across the three countries.
