    This paper is a record of lecture given at the 156th Seminar on Technical Information Activities. The author who has emphasized the need of environmental information studies for a long time grasps “environment” and “information” from the social and cultural viewpoints, and seeks what true sciences centered around humans should be based on a keyword “scientific scenary.” By listing differences in technical levels between these two subjects the author makes it clear that both of them suffer from being oriented externally and interprets that technology oriented externally is one of major factors to cause human alienation. He introduces recycle plaza at Suita City, and international environment monitoring system called EARTHWATCH as a trial to make technology oriented internally or socialized, and gives such proposal that we should construct social and informal networking which is necessary for humans to regain technology for them.

    Being a "professional" means more than merely being an expert in one's chosen field. No occupation—including information and records management—can successfully lay claim to professional status without a clear commitment to issues and concerns that affect the larger society. The key to establishing a field's social relevance lies in development, maintenance, interpretation, and application of a meaningful code of ethics. Only when such a code is valued and acted on by practitioners of information and records management can lay persons and one's fellow managers understand the value system and importance of this growing field.
