This reports a pilot study, based on Herbert Wright's work on the behavior of children in communities of different sizes, of the effects of the community environment on adolescents. First, there is an attempt to determine the activity range of youth from community ecology. Second, based on the activity range, the subsequent experiences, attitudes and competencies of the adolescents are determined. This study determined the approach to be workable and promising.
