This study suggests the meaning, role, and future direction of legal anniversaries on the grounds of presidential decrees, with specially focusing on the processes of execution, national participation, and publicity of the Environment Day. Through analysis of the World Environment Day, relations between related environment laws and the anniversaries were analyzed as well. The scope of this research is set on the significance of legal anniversary in 1973 and environment, science, and technology-related anniversaries after the enactment of provisions relating to the various anniversaries. The institutional foundation of law is important in the society of technology and science. The role of legal anniversaries is also important for commemorating the significance of policies at which such laws for engineers and scientists aim. However, there are similar and redundant legal anniversaries such as Information Communication Day and Science Day. Moreover, Environment Day is a legal anniversary, and there are anniversaries such as Wetlands Day, Earth Day, Water Day, and Meteorological Day as well. There are also issues of anniversaries being clustered on certain months of the year. Through this research, we suggest heightening the national awareness by categorization of legal anniversaries with consistency. Cooperation between supervising government departments is required, and related legislation can be improved as well. In the long run, not setting the anniversaries on specific dates can be an option as well. In order for the anniversaries to be chances to contemplate the meaning of national policies on science, technology, and environment, such laws and institutions must be the basis. On the other hand, such anniversaries can be celebrated in tandem with those of the international society and with participation of the citizens.
