It had been researched to keep track of the types of ecological ponds, along with sorts of animals and plants by means of field investigation of the circumstances, choose twenty of those schools to survey and based on environmental area, then proceed interviews with ecological pond conservators of two case of schools at length. With the field investigation census, the questionnaires as well as the content of interviews with conservators, we expect to grasp the state of plan in administration and management situation about the ecological l ponds of elementary schools.
