To design curriculum, it is vitally important for local teachers to realize children’s attitudes toward Si-Jou Refuse Incineration Plant (SJRIP). This research aims to realize the elementary school students’ environmental attitudes toward SJRIP and its factors, including those children’s socio-economic status, general environmental attitudes, the resources of information, and children’s experiences of environmental pollutions. With self formulated questionnaires, 367 valid responses are received out of 411 high - grade elementary school students in Si-Jou area. In this research, students possess positive attitudes toward SJRIP because they believe that SJRIP is able to solve garbage problem. In addition, students consider that SJRIP should make compensation for local residents. Nonetheless, they worry that SJRIP produces air pollution. The results reveal that the nearer the distance between their schools and the incineration is, the more increasing awareness they have. Generally speaking, students’ information on SJRIP primarily comes from TV news, newspapers and teachers. Students’ general environmental attitudes and attitudes toward SJRIP show explicit negative correlation. Variables such as students’ experiences in pollutions generated from SJRIP and the distance between their school and the SJRIP are factors that influence students’ attitudes toward SJRIP. In terms of general environmental attitudes, the general environmental attitudes in this area tend to become positive. Mother’s education and the distance between schools and SJRIP become the variables that influence students’ general environmental attitudes. Finally, the researcher suggests that elementary school teachers can use the environmental pollutions experiences of SJRIP as a topic in their instruction. They can focus on issues such as the function of SJRIP, the management of environmental pollutions, local residents’ contribution to the society and the ambivalent psychology of being threatened by pollutions. Thus, teachers can select suitable teaching methods to teach students. Hopefully, in the end students cultivate a sense of identification and reach a thorough realization of their own hometown.
