Abstract
This study chronologically organized the development process of international environmental education, and of domestic environmental and traffic education to propose the integration of traffic education and environmental education. As a measure to realize the proposal, a Program to Consider a Wise Way of Using Cars for Elementary Schools was created and implemented in elementary school classes that were systematically planned.
The results of the Program follow: changes in the traffic awareness of students and their families were identified by their comments at different times on their participation in the program; and the development of participants' traffic awareness as they related their own traffic behaviors with global environmental problems also was recognized. The results indicate that the program has supposedly influenced not only the students but their families, and it is effective as a tool for environment oriented traffic education.
