This paper considers that resources science is a comprehensive discipline based on its various branch subjects. It is a discipline that aims at understanding and resolving resources problems. In order to understand or explain serious resources environmental problems on the globe, synthetic study which combines natural sciences with social sciences should be attached importance to in resources science because the process of exploitation and utilization of resources is actually a process which human beings develops natural resources by using the available social economic resources (fund, man power, technology, information, stewardship etc.).
