Abstract: The measure concentration property of an mm-space $X$ is roughly described as that any 1-Lipschitz map on $X$ to a metric space $Y$ is almost close to a constant map. The target space $Y$ is called the screen. The case of $Y=mathbbR$ is widely studied in many literature (see cite{gromov}, cite{ledoux}, cite{mil2}, cite{milsch}, cite{sch}, cite{tal}, cite{tal2} and its reference). M. Gromov developed the theory of measure concentration in the case where the screen $Y$ is not necessarily $mathbbR$ (cf. cite{gromovcat}, {gromov2}, cite{gromov}). In this paper, we consider the case where the screen $Y$ is a nonpositively curved manifolds. We also show that if the screen $Y$ is so big, then the mm-space $X$ does not concentrate.
