ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION PROGRAM IN TOWN AREA BY PRACTICE OF EVENTS USING LARGE

Environmental education is expected to enable citizens to understand our common environmental problem. Town watching, feeling writing technique and advocated forum have been introduced into citizens involvement process for action programs of environmental amelioration. Our team planned to integrate remarks on a large-scale map filled by participants with expeiqmental sensations and judgements obtained in systematically programmed five categories of town watching. Participants can communicate with each others by means of both of drawing remarks on the map and talking about own experience in walking in each group with each unique theme. These two events enable them to utilize their consciousness, information, intelligence and their behavior in order to improve their neighbor environment. The results of observation of events and questionnaires to participants show that not either of these two events but the linkage of both is effective for finding and approaching positively environmental problem and resource in town area.
