Over the past '60's and '70's, our country has carried out a series of economic development plans successfully. On the other hand, however, as side-effects of industrialization, it has caused so many problems, the most serious one of which is pollution, which can threaten the achievements. Therefore, the studies on the realities and speedy measures have become necessary.
The aims of this paper are as follows;
1) To arrange our country's realities of pollution problems in th light of historical source.
2) To grasp the Taegu citizens' awareness of the environmental contamination by using questionnaires containing ten items.
3) To study how to preserve natural environment from the pollution on the basis of the above data.
The level of the Taegu citizens' consciousness toward environmental contamination is summarized as the followings;
1) Strict control over harmful-gas emitting vehicles is not exercised well (82.0%).
2) The pros and cons of an increase in vehicles in the city are about the same (pros: 50.3%, cons: 43.0%).
3) The ayes and noes of trust in. water supply facilities in the city are 32.2% to 55.0%.
4) The disposal of garbage is not good. (64.5%)
5) The disposal of sewage in the city and a factory's waste water is not good. (75.2%)
6) The rate between citizens who have a strong spirit of nature preservation and those who have a weak one is 39.8% to 47.7%.
7) The pros and cons of the municipal sanitary administration are 49.8% to 36.3%.
8) Citizens' trust in a pharmacist is relatively low. (pros: 18.7%)
9) The farmer's response to soil acidification is divided into two parts: One who has a notion of it is 17.7% and the other who doesn't know well is 43.5%.
10) The noes of inviting the establishment of pollutant emitting factories are 89.0%.
Although the difference of responses according to age is almost the same, the young classes' way of thinking seems more progressive. And air pollution is more serious than water pollution in Taegu.
In this paper, I took these followings as the measures for natural environment preservation on a national basis according to the realities of pollution and the forms of civil consciousness;
1) Anti-air pollution measures
2) Anti-water pollution measures
3) Anti-noise pollution measures
4) 'city and province-wide' enlargement of natural environment preservation campaign.
For each of the above measures, I studied in detail and presented a concrete plan.
