Abstract：Research purposes: The academic term of Environmental Geotechnology was firstly presented and defined on the 10th National Conference of Soil Mechanics and Foundation Engineering which was held at Stockholm in 1981. Though the difinition of discipline，research content，character of discipline and research methods of environmental geotechnology was forming，the disputations over different suggestions had existed yet.
Research methods: This paper analyzed the generating background and development process of Environmental Geotechnology using the research methods of summary，induction，analysis based on the research results had presented already，and presented some preliminary viewpoints on the difinition of discipline，research content，character of discipline and theoretical system of environmental geotechnology.
Research conclusions: The general aim was to protect and improve the geotechnical environment，and assure the safety and enduring operation of kinds of projects. All of environmental issues with relation to geotechnical engineering was concerned in the research content. The discipline was characterized by its systematicness，universality，complexity， multi-discipline，long term，sociality，regulation and low efficiency
