This kind of environmental cognitive, what was appeared is the space aspect of the ethnic life world. With the analysis of Hakka placenames within Shi-tan Miao-li County, Taiwan, the research includes three important parts. First, the way which residents describe to the environment, the placenames can be divided into abstract spiritual aspect and concrete material aspect. Second, these environmental cognitive structure were reflected by the placenames, can be divided into three space levels (circle) in accordance with the distance , can be divided into two parts of the things when in accordance with the direction. Among them the first circle is resident's cultivating stronghold, the second circle is resident's agricultural production area , the third circle in the west is the natural landscape area, in the east is ethnicity's buffer zone. Third, environmental cognitive were reflected by placenames, mainly influenced and molded by the external social factor of the' cultivating area'（開墾 區）.地名客語獅潭鄉環境認知生活世界PlacenameHakka languageShi-tanEnvironmental cognitionLife world
