| Research Abstract |
This study aims to provide a solution to global environmental problems by utilizing information and communication technology. In addition to direct controls and economic measures, a supplementary measure of providing appropriate information can make people aware of the crisis and motivate them to be more environmentally friendly. Effective provision of information can achieve breakthrough effects to solve the problems. At the same time, despite the awareness, it may result in no action toward the problems. The study has approached the problems through the following three steps :(1) pointing out problems related to public relations about environmental protections through ICT, and considering their solutions ;(2) researching technological and administrative hindrances against the diffusion of the information and communication networks, and investigating into their public interests ; and(3) considering the issues and challenges to construct global information and communication networks.
