For thousands of years, communities along the river have sought greater water security at the interface of technical possibility, politics and unpredictable nature. Large projects such as the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance dam and Jonglei canal in South Sudan continue to be controversial, but both show how civil engineers might help to address climate change challenges. Once again, Nile communities need civil engineers to find and implement innovative, politically acceptable and sustainable development initiatives.

Many of river basin international organizations have been established by riparian States with the purpose of more effectively and sustainably govern their shared water resources. However, their achievements in ensuring sustainability in the use of water resources in their respective basins vary considerably: while some seem to be more successful in solving water-specific collective action problems and sustainability challenges, another fail. In international law, States enjoy sovereignty to exploit natural resources on their territory, insofar as such exploitation does not cause harm to neighboring States. The 1997 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Non-Navigational Uses of International Watercourses entered into force on August 17, 2014. However, three of upstream and downstream African States: Egypt, Sudan, and Ethiopia have not yet joined it. Sudan and Egypt have been advantaged by the 1959 Treaty signed between the two countries, thus totally excluding the other Nile Basin States. The construction of the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (Blue Nile Dam) is now a national pride for Ethiopia which will generate power and constitute a better supply in electricity. If it is considered as a significant step in terms of sustainable development for the country and Africa as well, it is regarded in Egypt as an imminent danger to its Nile water. This study analysis the principles of international law related to transboundary watercourses governance in analyzing the 1997 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Non-Navigational Uses of International Watercourses (UNWC) (Part I), and in focusing on the impact of the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam in the mutual relations between the Nile river riparian States (Part II).

In Sudan, due to the integration of many factors, such as appropriate climate, fertile soils, labour and reasonable infrastructures, sugar production started in 1962. Kenana Sugar Estate, situated in the Sudan (East Africa), is considered to be one of the largest single estates in the world covering an area of 94,000 feddans (39,500 hectares). The Estate is situated 300 Km South of Khartoum. Geographically, it is located at 13 degree North of the latitude and 30 degree east of the longitude. Although the use of Geographic Information System (GIS) in sustainable development has been demonstrated, its utility for on-farm management has not yet been well appreciated in Sudan. This is particularly necessary since the sustainable development can only be realized with the farmers' participation. Development of integrated crop yield models using of GIS as well as soil, water related parameters is necessary. The main objective of this project is to produce Digital Base Maps for different layers for Kenana Sugar Company using Satellite imagery, Global positioning System (GPS) and GIS technology and link it with related database, this will help planner, decision maker and managers at all level to manage diagnoses the exiting problems and find the solution in relatively short time with minimum cost and efforts through the use of GIS capabilities. GIS can provide farm managers with an effective method to visualize, manipulate, analyze and display spatial data, providing the backbone of a Precision Agriculture (PA) system. The RTK GPS Leica 520 was used to collect the coordinates' reading from the field, total of eleven points distributed through the estate area were collected. These points will can use as base for any application inside the field. To create the features data for the study area, high resolution satellite image from IKONOS Satellite of one meter spatial resolution with three bands was used. The resolution of satellite images has improved considerably. As images are now available in the range of 1-5 m, remote sensing is increasingly being used in studies of sugar cane precision farming. The GIS and GPS have already become standard tools for building spatial databases and for geo-referencing fields and other spatial features. crop monitoring used to follow the crop status, different types of satellite images to detect the crop assessment and the situation inside the fields.

Its diverse tropical ecological environment comprise coastal mangrove and rain forest in the South, and Guinea Sudan and Sahel Savanna to the North. But, various estimates confirm the very high rate of deforestation in the country as a result of primarily persistent high and ever-increasing rate of demand from wood and wood products from both domestic and external sources. Thus, the natural function of the forest in purifying the environment is impaired.

After providing an historical context to modern boundaries, the chapter describes how climate change directly impacts land, food, and water access because of increased extreme weather conditions. Thus, climate change can threaten peace and security in fragile regions due to conflicts over diminishing inhabitable territory and natural resources. The chapter assesses how international boundary disputes can be affected by changing demands for oil (eg in Kurdistan and South Sudan), and for renewable energy resources (eg the ownership, use, and control of rivers crossing multiple borders). It also reflects on a more global scope the effects that climate change-related migration has on the modern understanding of international borders.

The 5 th ICSAB is an International Conference to allow annual scientific meeting with sharing sessions by lecturers and researchers from several countries and some research fields. It was held on November, 24 th 2022 with the theme “Sustainable Agriculture and Biosystem for Better Life – Post-pandemic Period” . The 5 th ICSAB was held as an online (remote presentation) through Zoom meeting, due to a global pandemic issue (Covid-19) increased at the time closer to the event date. This option taken by the committees because it was planned and many delegations and authors requested for this conference to keep it going, even though virtually. Meanwhile they need it to coverage their research findings and as a scientific sharing session. This conference was organized by Agricultural and Biosystem Engineering Department, Andalas University in collaboration with Ehime University, Japan; Universiti Technology MARA, Malaysia; Maejo University, Thailand; Universiti Teknologi Brunei, Brunei Darussalam; and University of Khartoum, Sudan. The participants are also coming from couples of countries in Asia i.e., Indonesia, Japan, Malaysia, Thailand, and Vietnam.

The research adopts a systems perspective to analyze the dynamics between Egypt, Sudan, and Ethiopia. It highlights the challenges of water management in the Nile River Basin, shared by eleven African countries, and delves into the geopolitical, environmental, and socio-economic factors at play. The research team, composed of Latin American scholars, acknowledges their outsider perspective and strives to incorporate a wide range of views. The findings discuss the historical treaties, current negotiations, and the importance of a balanced agreement that considers the interests of all parties, the threat of climate change, and sustainable water management practices. The study concludes with insights that could inform similar disputes in other transboundary river basins and underscores the urgency for cooperative solutions to prevent humanitarian crises.

Because of modernization, people are focusing on advance to advance technologies, industrialization, etc. which is directly and indirectly hampering our future generation through climate change. Electricity production sectors are playing such a big role in climate change as they are heavily dependent on conventional energy sources. So, this paper aims to model and optimize a grid-connected sustainable energy sources based hybrid system for Er Roseires town, Sudan. The purpose of this simulation model is not only to investigate the relation of greenhouse gas emissions, energy consumption from the grid and its sale-back, and economic growth but also to propose a new hybrid energy approach that will be reliable for the coming future. The modeling and optimization of the system are done by using HOMER Pro® software. The optimization result shows that the hybrid model can satisfy the total load demand of the particular location taking no power from the grid.KeywordsClimate changeSustainable sourceHybrid systemPumped hydro storageWind	[ { "display_name": "Lecture notes in electrical engineering", "id": "https://openalex.org/S4210179954", "type": "book series" } ]

Between 2006 and 2012, 29 NGOs received grants to improve water supply in the most remote areas of the country. In a post conflict context, sustainability of interventions is often a challenge: the BSF Secretariat took therefore an active role in guiding NGOs towards a more consistent, efficient and sustainable way of implementing WASH projects. Recommendations provided focused on sustainability with the aim to move away from intensive, short-term initiatives inspired by humanitarian concerns to long-term and better planned recovery projects. BSF being recognized as a successful funding mechanism, this article describes the sustainability-focused monitoring approach of the BSF Secretariat, and highlights the main lessons learned.	[]

The overall objective of the Green Growth Project was to contribute to a better integration of environmental concerns into national development processes, policy planning and decision-making.The project was targeted mostly at the global (and regional level), using conferences, meetings and policy dialogues with various country policy-makers as a tool to communicate integrating ecosystem services into economic policies. However, at national level, pilot studies were conducted in South Sudan, Kenya, and, through its UNDA 8th Tranche Component, Kazakhstan and Morocco. The Green Growth Terminal Evaluation has two main objectives: 1) to provide evidence of results to meet accountability requirements, and 2) to promote operational improvement, learning and knowledge sharing through results and lessons learned among UNEP and its main project partners.

These concepts are explored through a qualitative case study on rural groundwater management institutions in Aweil East, South Sudan. The primary question guiding the discussion is how a transition towards sustainable development is reflected in this particular case. The secondary questions supporting the discussion are, firstly, to what extent are the groundwater institutions sustainable and secondly, what are the barriers of sustainable groundwater management. Qualitative fieldwork took place in multiple locations in Aweil East county in the South Sudanese state of Northern Bahr el Ghazal through individual and group interviews with communities, organizations and government officials. The findings suggest that in spite of the barriers, including the dependency on organizations due to lack of community ownership and government capacity, a transition towards sustainable development was happening at the time of the study. Also, it was found that the groundwater institutions were quite fragile and in an early stage of transition. Based on this, the thesis highlights the importance of understanding a transition in order to adjust strategies for managing institutions. Furthermore, it opens discussion on how to assess a transition and what aspects still needs to be developed.	[]

]	https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=cites:W4385342219	Abstract Argan tree is endemic of Moroccan arid regions, providing socioeconomic and cultural benefits since ancient times. This study identifies the emerging threats for the argan forest, and the opportunities related to the innovative uses of argan products and byproducts. Argan forest is facing pressure from overgrazing, demand for argan oil and nuts, and land degradation, despite its recognition as a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve and the inclusion in the FAO Globally Important Agricultural Heritage Systems (GIAHS) Programme. Innovative use and recycling of the waste deriving from argan nuts processing, offer promising opportunities to support a local bio-economy. Argan press cake can be used to integrate livestock feeding, to extract sudan dyes or to produce bioplastics. Argan nut shells can be used to produce environment-friendly and low-cost purifying materials and biochar, or as a source of bioenergy. Argan pulp can be used for bioethanol production or to obtain natural insect repellent. Despite these promising opportunities, the socio-economic impact of innovative uses is still limited. Local population is not sufficiently involved in management and development strategies. To support the sustainable development of local communities, it is necessary to promote a participative approach as well as training and product differentiation among argan women cooperatives.

One of the reasons is the absence of the role of the planner, designer and evaluator capable of evaluating protected lands, and convincing its residents and responsible organizations to draw up sustainable development plans, using the economic and environmental values of the land. They also lack any knowledge of the beautiful aspect and value of the land. This often leads to encroachment on the land and on important natural areas on the reservation. Consequently, it affects the environmental systems present through the loss of the natural resources that should be protected. Examples of this include the clear encroachment of touristic activities in Sharm el Sheikh on the lower border of the Nabaq Reserve, the presence of a large commercial mall in the city of Shalatin to trade with the Sudan, in the center of Elba Reserve, the exploitation of the Nile Islands Reserve with residents building on the land, in addition to the attempt by the Housing Ministry to sell parts of the Petrified Forest Reserve to residents. Thus, this research aims to examine the current status of lands surrounding the Petrified Forest Reserve to pinpoint the main reasons for negligence and the problems this area suffers from. In addition, this research aims to solve the problem of sustainability in the Petrified Forest Reserve to halt its deterioration.	[]

To achieve this, it is necessary to focus on three main areas: achieving economic growth and justice, preserving environmental and natural resources for future generations, and achieving social development by creating job opportunities, providing food, education and health care for all. The study aimed to identify the most important indicators of sustainable development and the challenges it faces in order to achieve its goals, dimensions and principles, and to know the obstacles that prevent the achievement of its goals, and development programs implemented within the framework of the sustainable development process. The solutions that must be taken to avoid these obstacles and the possible ways to develop this new method within the framework of an effective society capable of implementing the sustainable development goals. The study concluded that the indicators of sustainable development in Sudan need further modernization and development in order to be able to keep pace with the progress of nations. In addition, there is weakness on the part of the institutions concerned with overseeing the implementation of the sustainable development goals. The study recommended the need to strengthen the means of implementation and revitalize the global partnership in order to achieve the sustainable development goals. The study also recommended the need to provide and update indicators for sustainable development goals through the competent agencies.

The country capital city Juba is one of the drinking water insecure towns in the world due to a long civil war that destroyed basic infrastructures, encourage urbanization and rural urban immigration. This paper aimed to investigate drinking water quota per capita per day in other countries, suggest a drinking water budget per capita per day to Juba, estimate optimum capacity for drinking water treatment plant to the city, and recommend a suitable drinking water distribution system. Literature review methods under meta-analysis were conducted to assess the drinking water budget per capita per day for cities in the world and to investigate advantages and disadvantages of some drinking water distribution systems. Mathematical models were used to estimate the capacity of the drinking water treatment plant required in the city. The study concluded that amount of water needed for the city is 36 x 103 m3. It should be 35 x 103 m3 for the western side and 12 x 102 m3 for the eastern side of the city. It also found that a looped drinking water distribution system is the best option for the city. The study suggested construction of a new drinking water treatment plant to secure drinking water security and improve the drinking water distribution network.

Attainment also means while ensuring technologies and economic growth do no harm to it, it provides opportunities to millions who are direct beneficiaries from the environment. It requires development of an agreement on policy and legal frameworks at international and national levels to be linked up with the initiatives taking place at the municipal level to ensure not only sustainability, but also hold violators accountable. This chapter discusses what is current parlance in the international arena, particularly what is not working under the framework of the United Nations Conference on the Environment and Development and its ensuing multilateral environmental agreements, in its translation to guide governments, corporations, and civil society to build and sustain our cities. It highlights models of “sustainable communities” globally and the role the private sector must and is playing in ensuring sustainability, replication, and scaling up, without damaging our environment. The Republic of South Sudan will be a case study on where a new nation-state and other developing countries can capitalize on adopting policy and legal frameworks to create an enabling environment to build truly sustainable cities within their territories.

Brownfields exist in very large numbers and pose serious environmental and health risks in developed countries around the world. As industries abandon unprofitable sites and development spreads to other parts of the globe, potential brownfield creation abounds which will further exacerbate the problem. Preventing the creation of brownfields in the first place should be a priority. However, it will depend on the availability of options (technology) and the incentives to implement them (policy). A retrospective look at the City of Kitchener, Ontario, Canada, shows that a $10,000 investment in prevention could have avoided $100,000+ of cleanup cost on former gas station sites. Similarly, leaking underground fuel tanks could be prevented in South Sudan with double-walled tanks and appropriate procedures for less than 2% of the cost of cleaning up fuel leaks. Additional health-related economic and social costs associated with consumption of hydrocarbon contaminated groundwater could also be avoided. Actual implementation of pollution prevention requires a systems approach. Our research focuses on enhancing the relationship between engineering and policymaking through systems thinking and providing practical decision making support tools to guide development in a sustainable manner.

However, the cross-boundary nature of these projects involves dealing with diverse contexts that span across different countries and involve multiple stakeholders with varying interests. These circumstances exacerbate the risks and uncertainties that arise during their implementation, intensifying the challenges involved in making decisions about how to proceed with their execution. Insufficient evaluations of development projects have been identified as a contributing factor to unforeseen risks, which in turn can result in the underperformance and failure of transportation infrastructure projects. This ultimately acts as an impediment to achieving sustainable development goals. Further, rapid deployment of post risk-event corrective measures can exacerbate, for instance, macro-economic crisis and civil unrest. The Great Equatorial Land Bridge is a TTC planned to traverse five countries: Cameroon, Central African Republic, South-Sudan, Ethiopia, and Kenya. Despite the anticipated advantages for globalization, political cooperation, and regional integration, the risks that must be addressed to successfully implement this project are still uncertain. We, therefore, use a Multicriteria Decision-Making (MCDM) framework to investigate risks to its successful implementation. The analysis results highlight that effectively managing economic, political, and geographic risks is crucial for the successful implementation of the project. Policy-makers, contractors and multiple stakeholders will benefit from this study’s depiction of the risks and their relative importance. Results can also inform actions toward sustainable development of the project.	[ { "display_name": "Sustainability", "id": "https://openalex.org/S10134376", "type": "journal" } ]

A Case Review of Three Projects in Kenya Mary W. Gititu, Cornelius M. Kyalo Abstract China is the second-largest economy in the world with an annual Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of about 6% as of 2019, thanks to the speedy economic growth. However, this has come along with environmental challenges attributed to the application of the „pollute first control later? policy. Being a global power, China?s environmental status has been of global concern and their advocacy for a green economy has been criticized. Here, we review the environmental implications of few Chinese-funded projects in Africa, with a key focus on Kenya?s three projects; Standard Gauge Railway (SGR), Lamu Port-South Sudan-Ethiopia-Transport (LAPSSET) and Lamu Coal Plant projects. Our findings show that in most instances, economic growth is prioritized over environmental protection. This has been capped in corruption, misinformation on environmental policies, deprived support towards environmental bureaus, resulting in poor policy implementation. Further, the absence of environmental regulations governing overseas investments, weak bureaucracies, and corruption in the host nations, has played part in environmental degradation. In order to confidently advocate for a green economy, China needs to be an example by investing and funding green projects and promoting sustainable development. The host nations also need to prioritize sustainable development and develop policies that will protect the environment.

E. Awad and Z. O. Gaafer Abstract Low- cost housing projects in developing countries can be considered a burden more than an investment for governments, housing projects should be more than a roof over head. It is a community and a source of social and economic development. Because of the lack of adequate assessment criteria for sustainable development in low-cost housing projects, a poor living environment and lack of public participation in neighborhood construction and development has occurred. This paper examines the main principles of urban sustainability that characterize “sustainable neighborhoods” to evaluate some of the low-cost housing projects in Sudan. The paper selects a set of urban parameters to assess the current situation of these projects in terms of urban morphology, housing typology, urban mobility, employment and income generation and sustainable building technologies. The paper recommended accessible locations for lowcost housing projects, and reserve land especially for that use, introduction of mixed land -use within the new projects and providing new housing types that may improve the neighborhoods environment. Ensure that there is a social mixture of inhabitant, encourage families to use part of their houses for other uses such as commercial to improve family income, keep inhabitants near their homes and make the neighborhood mixed-use. Connect housing with work and introduce new work sites such as farms and light industry near to remote housing projects and encourage provision Full Text: PDF DOI: 10.15640/jea.v4n2a11	[]

This is resettlement policy framework (RPF) document defines roles, responsibilities, procedures and compensation rates to guide the preparation of the individual Resettlement Action Plans (RAPs) during implementation for the subprojects that will cause involuntary displacement and mandatory land acquisition of land owned or used by individuals, families or other entities. The Sudanese legal requirements comply with the World Bank OP / BP 4.12 directives in the sense that both require fair compensation for the impacted persons and set procedures to resolve conflicts starting from the lowest level to the court of law. The RPF document includes arrangements for monitoring and responsibility of the project to conduct such monitoring in case of resettlement operation. Such monitoring must be participatory involving local leaders and representatives of the impacted persons. For smooth land acquisition and resettlement of project affected peoples (PAPs) the following are recommended : involve the local leadership particularly, Native Administration (Nazir, Omda, Sheikh) when selecting sites for public utilities; comply with customary land tenure regulations; pay attention to nomadic usufruct rights and avoid corridors set for the nomads; within government lands, consider right of use given to local communities; and finally, in deciding the market value of land, it is important to involve experienced persons to decide on the land value.

One of the reasons is the absence of the role of the planner, designer and evaluator, capable of evaluating protected lands, and convincing its residents and responsible organisations to draw up sustainable development plans, using the economic and environmental values of the land. This is because the residents prefer the economic value of the land only, as it achieves quick revenue by selling or by destructive exploitation of the environment. Often, this leads to encroachment on the land and natural areas of the reserve. Consequently, it affects the environmental systems present through the loss of the natural resources that should be protected. Examples of this include the clear encroachment of touristic activities in Sharm el Sheikh on the lower border of the Nabaq Reserve, the presence of a large commercial mall in the city of Shalatin to trade with the Sudan, in the center of Elba Reserve, the exploitation of the Nile Islands Reserve with residents building on the land, in addition to the attempt by the Housing Ministry to sell parts of the Petrified Forest Reserve to residents.The aim of this research is to show methods of evaluating land in general, and to find a method for evaluating protected areas both environmentally and economically, by creating a theoretical framework for the main elements used to evaluate protected areas. This is done through examining the profits resulting from a sustainable system that includes environmental, economic, social, and urban views, as well as those related to planning in one general framework, that provides the steps that all evaluators should follow when evaluating protected lands.The study shall apply this system to the Petrified Forest Reserve in New Cairo in Egypt to determine the aspects of negligence and the problems, from which this area suffers; in addition, the principles of guidance are applied to prevent its deterioration in order to solve the problem of sustainability in this reserve.

In this paper a case study in semi arid forest (El Rawashda forest reserve, Gedaref State, Sudan) serves as a research. Multi-temporal Landsat ETM+ and Aster data acquired on early dry season dates in 2000 and 2006 have been used for classification and mapping land cover. Training data were selected in easily identifiable areas of the following four classes: Grassland, Close forest, Open forest and bare land. Following classification of imagery from the individual years, a postclassification, approach of subtracting the classification maps, 2000 and 2006, was applied. An advantage of the approach is that provides “from-to” change information. As part of our analysis we have compared area estimates from the Landsat classifications with aster classification. In our research, the potential to derive indicators of sustainable resource use from satellite remote sensing is discussed. Particular attention focuses on indicators related to land cover condition and type in semi-arid forest environments. This includes quantitative and qualitative assessment of forest cover change as well as the impacts of human and other biophysical factors on the forest. Each of these issues is discussed with emphasis placed on the potential to increase the level of information extraction beyond that derived with conventional approaches in order to more usefully inform sustainable development practices.

This sustenance stretches from food resources in the form of biological diversity, land for agriculture employment in terms of tourism, absorption of carbondioxide and exuding oxygen by green vegetation thus sustaining man kind. Despite this importance, the environment still remains the most abused by man in the form of pollution, deforestation, and attack on biological diversity to extinction. All this is done in a bid for human survival; to create land for settlement as a result of population expansion, industrialization, and hunting the different species for food purposes. Some of these activities have negatively impacted on the climate and led to global warming and its negative effects such as desertification. Whereas, it is true that climate change is a creation of affluent western countries and that Africa has contributed little to the build-up of greenhouse gases in the global atmosphere. As such, the West has a moral responsibility to Africa and other developing countries to make resources available to adapt to the predicted impacts of climate change. But African governments cannot afford simply to fold their arms. They should be part of a global campaign to see to it that this harm to the environment is dispensed with because of the global impact it has of which Africa too is affected. These effects have been a breeding ground for conflict over scarce resources arising from depletion of environmental resources as a result of environmental degradation. Using the Basic Human needs theory, this paper seeks to discuss environmental degradation as a cause of conflict in Darfur and the possible reasons for interference with the environment which, among others, is the quest for basic needs. This paper shall also analyse the different forms of environmental abuses, their impact to peace and sustainable development taking a case study of Darfur region of southern Sudan. Similarly the paper discusses the international intervention and different principles of environmental law and protection that have arisen to ensure sustainable development.

This concept paper attempts to explore Eritrea's ability to develop a hydroelectric and potable water generation capacity from the Red Sea. Unlike many countries with access to seas and oceans, Eritrea is endowed with a natural hydro dam because of its geographical location and topography. The Red Sea can be used as a resource for the production of energy as hydro dam and potable water source through desalination. The availability of cheap, clean and environmentally safe energy and water sources will enable the country to eliminate poverty and stop environmental degradation, thus contributing to reduce or minimize the global warming problem. Index Terms—Danakil-depression, economics, Eritrea, hydroelectric-power, red sea I. I NTRODUCTION Eritrea is a young nation, only 20 years old since it achieved its independence in 1993. It is located in the Horn of Africa, bordered in the north and west by Sudan, in the south by Ethiopia and Djibouti, and in the east by the Red Sea Fig. 1. It has an estimated population of about 5.9 million and a total land area of some 12.2 million hectares. Its annual population growth is estimated at 2.9 percent (1). Eritrea is a poor country and faces economical and environmental challenges. Both challenges lead to wide spread poverty for the population. The economic challenges relate to resource constraints to meet the national demand for commercial energy production and inadequate water resources needed for agriculture, mining manufacturing, or service industries (2). The environmental challenges stem from the global warming phenomenon, due to the expansion of the Sahara desert which causes frequent drought across the Sub-Saharan Sahel region. The economic challenge also contributes to wide spread deforestation and overgrazing for subsistence, exposing the barren land to water and wind erosions (3). Subsistence crop production and cattle keeping are the two most important economic activities in Eritrea (4). However, these traditional production methods and livestock populations used in much of the country contribute heavily to land degradation and soil erosion. Desertification due to overgrazing and soil erosion is common in many parts of the country. Energy requirements also put a lot of pressure on the	[ { "display_name": "International journal of environmental science and development", "id": "https://openalex.org/S2764870503", "type": "journal" } ]

In Khartoum on 23 March, Egypt, Ethiopia, and Sudan agreed on principles regarding the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam project. The ten agreed principles are cast in rather general terms and span the full spectrum of state practice in the matter of transboundary water resources co-operation. After agreeing to co-operate on the basis of common understanding, good faith, mutual benefit, sovereign equality, and territorial integrity, with a view to achieving optimal utilization and adequate protection of the River Nile (Principles I and IX), the three countries endorsed the principles of no significant harm and equitable and reasonable utilization. In particular, the no harm principle is cast as a due diligence obligation, with room for compensation should significant harm ensue (Principle III). The equitable and reasonable utilization principle is assorted with a detailed list of factors to be taken into account in arriving at equitable-sharing determinations (Principle IV). A dedicated principle is given over to the first filling, and subsequent annual operation, of the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam, which shall be decided in accordance with: the recommendations of an international panel of experts; the final report of the Technical National Committee; and subsequent studies, within an agreed fifteen-month timeline from the inception of two studies recommended by the panel. With a view to ensuring co-ordination in the annual operation of the dam with downstream reservoirs, the countries have directed their respective line ministries responsible for water resources to set up a co-ordination mechanism (Principle V). Downstream countries will have priority in the purchase of power generated by the dam (Principle VI). The three countries shall provide the data and information called for by the joint studies to be carried out under the aegis of the Technical National Committee (Principle VII). To ensure the safety of the dam, Ethiopia commits itself to observing the dam safety measures recommended by the international panel of experts (Principle VIII). Finally, the three countries commit to resolving disputes amicably, through good faith consultation and negotiation, failing which they will jointly resort to conciliation or mediation or refer the matter to the heads of state or government (Principle X).

Most of the region is dry and is a home to pastoralist communities like the Pokot, Turkana and the Marakwet. Since the colonial era, the region has been marginalized by the successive governments. In fact, for the period that the British colonialists ruled Kenya, the northern frontier was closed to the general public. Pastoralists who live in this region depend mainly on scarce natural resources like pasture, water, natural vegetation and livestock. As such, there is pressure among the communities in terms of sharing thus leading to wars over boundaries, traditional migratory routes, and traditional grazing grounds. Northern Rift also has a very long boundary line with Uganda, Sudan and Ethiopia-countries that have at one time or another been affected by internal strife in the last thirty years leading to proliferation of small arms into the region. The sub counties in the North Rift have been marginalized for a long time hence illiteracy rates are very high and transport and communication is very poor. Since no meaningful investment has been put in place, there are high rates of unemployment. The pastoralists are forced by circumstances to lead sedentary lives hence their livelihoods and their fragile environment have deteriorated greatly. It is against this background that this study aimed at establishing ways of sustaining peace and development in the North Rift region. The study adopted the use of primary and secondary data collection. Primary data collection methods included survey questionnaires, interviews, focus group discussions and participatory observation. The purposive sampling method was employed in determining key informant interview respondents and focus group discussion participants. However, for key informants, there was also a snow-balling sampling approach. In terms of analysis, this exercise incorporated elements of the Theory of Change-based evaluation approach. The evaluation exercise integrated conflict sensitive methodologies in the survey and analysis of findings. Hence, the inquiry included questions aimed at understanding contextual dynamics, as well as sets of questions seeking to measure the extent of realization of project goals. Since peace building programs are not insulated from conflict blindness, conflict sensitive lens specifically the Do No Harm/Local Capacities for Peace framework was used to examine the impact of the intervention on the conflict dynamics. The SPSS software was used to analyze quantitative data. It was established that conflict mitigating and peace initiatives that have been employed in the North Rift inter alia tracking and arresting of perpetrators of conflicts by the government, creation and activation of community security and vigilante groups, strengthening of elders courts to arbitrate over conflict cases, recovery of stolen animals, introduction of alternative livelihoods, use of traditional early warning systems, inter community peace dialogues, peace committees, and inter community common grazing patterns. Communities have collaborated with NGOs for peace initiatives, relief services and long term development initiatives aimed at sustainable alternative livelihoods. World Vision Kenya has been at the forefront in this regard through a five year peace project, meant to bring peace among the warring communities.

These States are endowed with diverse natural resources. They also share some resources such as water sources and wildlife. The EAC came into existence upon signing of the Treaty for the Establishment of the East African Community in 1999. This Treaty provides for cooperation of the Partner States in all walks of life including management and sustainable utilization of natural resources and the environment. The EAC has in place a Protocol on management of the environment and utilization of natural resources (the Protocol). The Protocol requires integration of the policy, legal and institutional frameworks at both regional and municipal levels. This is because the linkage between regional law and municipal laws on environ-mental management and sustainable utilization of resources is critical to the sustainable conservation of resources. Further to this directive, each Partner State has made some effort to tailor its policies, laws and institutions to comply with the objectives of the EAC. Literature on the extent to which EAC laws have been implemented in Partner States with regard to the utilization of natural resources and environmental management as directed by the Protocol is scanty and difficult to come by. This chapter analyses the adequacy of the legislative initiatives that the EAC Partner States have taken to implement the clarion call by the EAC Treaty to coordinate their joint efforts in ensuring sustainable management of environment and natural resources in the region. The analysis does not cover all the five EAC Partner States. It has purposely been confined to Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania. This bias has been necessitated by a number of factors, including the historical evolution of the EAC and limitation of time and resources. Data for the study was obtained from field work in the select Partner States where interviews were conducted with key informants in Kampala, Nairobi, Dar es Salaam, Arusha and Dodoma. Respondents were asked about a wide range of issues. These included the extent to which domestic legislative and institu-tional regimes accommodate the EAC Community law in environment and natural resources management, and initiatives that have been put in place at the regional level to ensure implementation of the Protocol. They were also asked about factors they considered could impact on sustainable management and utilization of the environment and natural resources in EAC Partner States. A review of the available literature on the subject, including a critical analysis of the relevant policy, institutional and legislative frameworks was undertaken before the field workThe overall findings suggest that concerted efforts have been made by the selected EAC Partner States implementing the objectives of the Protocol. However, these initiatives have encountered diverse challenges which have been identified and discussed. Recommendations are put forward which have a bearing on opportunities for enhancing regional economic integration in general, and on how to overcome the challenges in the context of the EAC. It is hoped that the study will provide an impetus for more comprehensive studies covering the subject in all the five Partner States of the EAC.	[]

Parasuraman, Zeithaml, & Berry, 1988b). The research paper investigates the instrument at higher education in Syria. The planned methodology for the research employs a quantitative approach where the service quality instrument developed by (A. Parasuraman, Zeithaml, & Berry, 1988a) is employed in this research. The sample of the study follows a non-probability sampling approach. The unit of analysis in this research is undergraduate students of private universities in Syria. Online self-administered questionnaires were distributed to undergraduate students in 3 private universities in Syria. The adjusted instrument scale employed a 5 points Likert scale where 1 indicates strongly disagree and 5 strongly agree. The level of analysis investigates reliability and validity tests. Exploratory factor analysis (EFA) is employed to measure relationships between measured variables. The exploratory factor analysis produced three dimensions. Cronbach alpha test is employed to measure the internal consistency of the scale. The adapted service quality scale comprises of three dimensions namely institution task orientation, institution relationship orientation and institution tangibles orientation. The instrument consists of 12 items. The research recommends the measurement scale to be applied for service quality in Higher Education environment.

The ongoing violence over the last half a decade in Syria has caused serious economic devastation and a massive loss of properties, landlessness, and lack of clarity relating to ownership or use rights. Post-conflict reconstruction is essential as it assigns the future shape of the country, and it is mostly determined by the commitment and capacities of local populations, including national government and civil society, to maintain the process. Therefore, it is necessary to identify the challenges, obstacles, and issues inhibiting the approach of restoring and sustainably developing the current system. Building a potential cadastral system for post-conflict Syria requires practical contributions from all stakeholders to explore possible ideas that may come up with other procedures for solving many legal, political, and technical issues. The design of a clear strategic framework for modernizing cadastral infrastructure will provide more excellent social stability and expand the prospects for economic growth within post-conflict communities. The main objective of this research is to describe a proposed approach for a reconstruction process oriented towards building an electronic multipurpose cadastre in support of sustainable development from an international perspective in line with modern technology. The addressed model ensures unified real estate registration and simplifies the information interchange between agencies.

Currently, seven CAMP projects are in different stages of implementation. The main objectives of CAMPs are to introduce or develop the process of integrated planning and management of Mediterranean coastal areas, and to contribute to a sustainable development and environmental protection. Based on the three completed CAMPs (Kastela Bay, Izmir Bay, and Syrian coast) and the fourth CAMP which is near completion (Rhodes Island), it can be concluded that the development and implementation of CAMPs in the framework of MAP is very successful and appreciated very much by the national and local institutions involved in their implementation.

Analysis of the information collected for Possibilities of the Continental Shelf of Syrian coasts to create defensive islands able to grow in defense system according to the scenario (the attack for the defence); Recommendations based on the ECO-Land Requirements. The impact of climate change will result in catastrophic human consequences if action is not taken to address these concerns. Strategic urban planning can aide with the expected impacts from the climate changes moving forward. According to NASA reports formation of warm ocean currents will lead to accelerated melting of the Arctic ice resulting in sea level rise.

Syria is one of the Middle Eastern countries that suffer from scarcity in water resources availability, which affects the growth and development of economic activities. In this research, the Water Evaluation and Planning (WEAP) model is applied to evaluate future water demand in the Euphrates and Aleppo basin (EAB), Syria, by taking into account the climate change that may affect water demand in the domestic, industrial, and agricultural sectors until 2050. The climate change projections of temperature and precipitation were assessed using a new version of the MAGICC/SCENGEN tool with two greenhouse gas emissions scenarios (A2 and B2) of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). Based on the results of IPCC (A2, B2) scenarios projections, the EAB basin is likely to face a decrease in precipitation amount by 21 % according to A2 and by 12 % according to B2, while temperature would increase by about 2.5 °C according to A2 and by 2 °C according to B2. Within the three scenarios adopted in this research: (1) available technology development; (2) increasing treated wastewater in agriculture and industry sectors; (3) and two combined scenarios, the results of the simulation demonstrated that the proposed scenarios are effective for reducing stressors on EAB’s water resources, but are not sustainable to bridge the gap between demand-supply by the year 2050, which leads to the deterioration of the available water resources.

In the last three years, the number of applicants for international protection in Spain has grown exponentially. Our refugee system has been unable to scale up its supply at the same rate and 20,000 requests have accumulated without response. In addition, the EU has set up a mechanism to relocate 160,000 asylum seekers from Greece and Italy in the rest of the member states (hotspot approach). Of the 17,337 refugees Spain pledged to offer asylum before September 2017, only 744 have been received so far. This article analyzes the strategy the Spanish government has followed to increase the housing capacity of our refugee system. The main conclusion drawn from this case study is that the strategy of expanding supply based on outsourcing the refugee system via subsidies to NGOs is ineffective and, therefore, unsustainable. If the Spanish government wants to solve this problem it will have to launch a program to build new public refugee centers in the short to medium term. This article develops recommendations for the sustainable planning of this plan in the construction system (prefabrication) and in terms of the need to set minimum standards for the centers.

The adoption of policies of sustainability by developing countries may lead to their development faster than expected. This research aims to study the strategies applied in one of the universities of developing countries and the sustainability policies adopted at that university which is Damascus University. The study focuses on the time during last four years of the Syrian crisis through several factors, with a focus on the analysis based on the SciVal and Scopus databases and the strategies applied by the university itself. In this research, we use the method of extracting and analysing the data of the sixteen sustainable development goals (SDGs) of Damascus University within Scopus and SciVal. We also analyse the strategies used in the university in order to reach some of the determinants of SDGs. By analysing Scopus and SciVal data, we find that the third goal of SDGs is the most widespread in terms of scientific research in Damascus University. We find that the application of such policies led to an important goal in the environment, which is the ratio of green space in Damascus University reaching to more than 63 percent of the total flat area of the university. In addition, we find that the application of sustainable development policies led to the generation of energy from renewable sources by 11% of the total electrical energy consumed at the university. The university has been able to reach lots of indicators of the sustainable development goals and it remains apply others.

The application of this policy in universities is reflected throughout the country, especially in developing and low-income countries. This research aims to analyse the sustainability policies adopted at Damascus University during the past 5 years of the Syrian crisis through several factors, with a focus on the analysis based on the SciVal and Scopus databases. We consider Damascus University as an example of an institution of a developing country. We use the method of extracting and analysing the data of the 16 sustainable development goals (SDGs) of Damascus University within Scopus. Based on Scopus and SciVal data, we find that Damascus University made a significant leap in the number of its research related to sustainable development in the year 2022, as these research studies constituted 46.0% of all published, abstracted, and indexed research studies in Scopus by Damascus University researchers. Also, by analysing the citation data which the SDG documents have received, we find that the citations resulted from these documents represent about 53% of the total citation of the university during the same time.

The global stock of migrants, depending on definition, is approximately 750 million people: to assume that the world is static and that migration is a problem to be managed is inaccurate. Since migration is a major driving force of planetary and population health, we argue that it must be more directly incorporated into planning for sustainable development, with a focus on the extent and way in which the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) incorporate the transformative reality of migration. The science of migration explains social and demographic dynamics, with human mobility as the norm rather than as a discrete event.1Heller M Urry J The new mobilities paradigm.Environ Plann A. 2006; 38: 207-226Crossref Scopus (3420) Google Scholar Flows of ideas, remittances, and social capital from migration, for example, play a central role in transforming economic as well as social and political life in places of origin and destination.

Migration processes can have positive and negative effects on social transformation.3Massey DS Social structure, household strategies, and the cumulative causation of migration.Popul Index. 1990; 56: 3-26Crossref PubMed Scopus (796) Google Scholar There are widespread concerns, for example, regarding the effect of rapid urbanisation driven by migration on the sustainable use of resources in cities. However, migrant populations have been shown throughout the world to be on average healthier and more economically active than host populations, at least with current migration patterns.4Hunter LM Simon DH Might climate change the “healthy migrant” effect?.Glob Environ Change. 2017; 47: 133-142Crossref PubMed Scopus (9) Google Scholar From an economic perspective, migration is often a driver of economic growth: whether economic growth is itself sustainable thus becomes the key question. The discourse of migration in the UN 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development reflects the global political tensions surrounding the issue of migration at the time of its negotiations, culminating in 2015, when many countries, particularly in Europe, experienced major influxes of refugees from Syria and other conflict-affected countries.5Nijenhuis G Leung M Rethinking migration in the 2030 Agenda: towards a de-territorialized conceptualization of development.Forum Dev Stud. 2017; 44: 51-68Crossref Scopus (19) Google Scholar, 6Holliday J Hennebry J Gammage S Achieving the sustainable development goals: surfacing the role for a gender analytic of migration.J Ethn Migr Stud. 2019; 45: 2551-2565Crossref Scopus (24) Google Scholar In effect, the 2030 Agenda frames migration as a temporary and unplanned phenomenon that needs to be managed, rather than as an inherent and longstanding part of sustainable development and social transformation. The table documents how sedentary framing of development leads to the relevant current goals, targets, and indicators within the SDGs.TableFraming of migration in the 2030 Agenda, with relevant goals, targets, and indicatorsTargets and indicatorsRelevant insights from migration scienceMigration as temporaryGoal 10: Reduced inequalitiesArticle 29: underlines the rights of migrants to return to their country of origin.Indicator 10.7.2: migration policies that facilitate “orderly, safe, regular and responsible migration and mobility of people”.

For example: i) movement to urban areas increases pressure on urban infrastructure and governance; ii) permanent displacement and relocation of populations from places at risk, including from small island developing states. Open table in a new tab Within the SDGs, migration is recognised as a “multidimensional reality” that is of “major relevance for the development of countries of origin, transit and destination” (2030 Agenda, article 29). Migrants are acknowledged as able to make a “positive contribution” to inclusive growth (article 29), but the SDGs seem to refer mostly to benefits in the country of origin in the form of remittances from international labour migrants. Remittances, indeed, play a crucial economic role in countries with high international outmigration, but with significant social consequences such as so-called brain drain effects. Overall, the 2030 Agenda, and specifically the SDGs on sustainable cities and climate action, have a static concept of human populations, de-emphasising permanent and temporary migration as a key aspect of sustainable development, climate resilience, and social transformation. Where migration is considered to “threaten to reverse much of the development progress”, the 2030 Agenda focuses on the “eradication” of human trafficking (article 27, and targets 5.2, 8.7, and 16.2), as well as “temporary” stays of forcibly displaced people (indicator 10.7.2). Such a framing of climate migration fails to consider migration as a long-term contribution to climate resilience and adaptation.7Gemenne F Blocher J How can migration serve adaptation to climate change? Challenges to fleshing out a policy ideal.Geogr J. 2017; 183: 336-347Crossref Scopus (76) Google Scholar Incorporating realistic scientific insights on migration and mobility would, we suggest, identify the conditions under which migration could contribute to positive outcomes for many arenas of sustainability, from disaster preparedness, to health and nutrition, and to safe and sustainable cities. SDG 11 seeks to promote safe, sustainable, and resilient cities, for example, but its indicators need to reflect the reality of how urbanisation is driven by population movement to cities. A target of SDG 11 is to minimise the “proportion of urban population living in slums, informal settlements or inadequate housing”. However, the persistence of slum areas is driven by continued movement of new migrants to cities. In many cities in developing countries, more than half of residents are lifetime migrants. Migrant populations cluster in areas that are exposed to environmental hazards and have been shown to have uneven access to public health and other services and discriminated in labour markets.8Black R Bennett SR Thomas SM Beddington JR Climate change: Migration as adaptation.Nature. 2011; 478: 447-448Crossref PubMed Scopus (528) Google Scholar Therefore, the realisation of urban sustainability is intimately tied to the effectiveness and rapidity of integration of new populations into urban planning. SDG 13 on climate action does not make an explicit connection between nations most vulnerable to climate change and increased migration flows, and thus underplays the opportunity to protect or acknowledge the adaptive role played by mobile populations. More than 25 million people per year are displaced internally or internationally by weather-related disasters. Involuntary and forced migration, not least through climate change, represents a breach of rights and is likely to have significant detrimental health outcomes.9McMichael C Barnett J McMichael AJ An ill wind? Climate change, migration, and health.Environ Health Perspect. 2012; 120: 646-654Crossref PubMed Scopus (170) Google Scholar, 10Levy BS Patz JA Climate change, human rights, and social justice.Ann Glob Health. 2015; 81: 310-322Crossref PubMed Scopus (181) Google Scholar It has been shown in diverse settings that migrants contribute by filling key skill gaps, increase the consumption and production of goods and services, and improve local labour market efficiency, particularly in times of crisis or disaster. Migrants also support the resilience and wellbeing of origin communities through financial and social remittances. Rather than harnessing the potential of such interactions, the state-oriented nature of the targets and current indicators associated with SDG 13 implicitly sidesteps migration. Incorporating the potentially social transformative nature of migration into policy and planning for sustainable development would better reflect the reality of a mobile world. A more encompassing view of migration would, we argue, lead to more appropriate targets and indicators for the SDGs. For example, target indicators could, for SDG 11 on urban areas, include the number of migrants entering informal economic sectors: such migration is most often associated with discrimination and precarity in cities. Additionally, SDG 13 on climate action could monitor regulations across countries for government-led relocation of communities (such relocation is likely to become more widespread into the future). A comprehensive set of targets and indicators would present better opportunities to deal with pressing challenges of social transformations, including ageing populations and declining birth rates in many countries. In summary, the SDGs need to move beyond the implicit assumption that sedentary lives are the norm and that it is only safe, orderly, and regular migration that contributes to sustainable development. We suggest that, when migration is incorporated as an inherent and continuing part of social transformations, it will become central to long-term climate resilience and adaptation.

A concept of “innovation” applied to architectural activity has been analyzed in the paper. Hitherto there is no unequivocal interpretation of effects due to innovation activity not only in respect of hotel architecture but also in respect of architecture as a whole and it concerns urban planning, climatic and socioeconomic conditions of Syria. Factors determining innovative development represent natural, industrial, scientific and technical, technological and other resources. An effort to avoid outof-date design solutions, requirements in development and growth of economic and social living standards can be considered as a driving force for qualitative development of hotel architecture in the resort areas of Syria. Prior to outbreak hostilities in the country the economic and social living standards have been achieved commonly due to high tourist activity. Naturalclimatic and historical potential of Syria contribute to an increase of tourist flows and quantitative composition of hotels. So the purpose of the paper is to reveal the possibilities for qualitative development of new architecture in respect of resort hotels, as the most required hotels by tourists in Syria. It is an obvious fact that architecture of hotels should not only reflect traditions and culture of the region, but it must be also technically modern in order to satisfy a global principle of sustainable development.

However, when tourism is planned irregularly and without discipline, it negatively affects the environment and natural resources by threatening the environmental resources of future generations. Therefore, we need sustainable tourism development to strike a balance between economic growth on the one hand and the protection of environmental resources and social values on the other. This study aimed to investigate the conditions of sustainable tourism planning. In line with this goal, a picture of the physical potential of the region was created by using the literature data on sustainable tourism, environmental analysis of the Syrian coastal region, on-site observation and mapping method, and qualitative research techniques. Suggestions are put forward in line with the findings that are presented in the created table.

What are the mechanisms of civil society participation used in urban development decision-making in Syria, and what form of civil society participation is most likely to be efficient to deliver sustainable development? Civil Society Participation in Urban Development in Syria critically examines urban planning as a form of governance, considering it a process where decisions are taken on urban land use, analysing the possibilities for wider participation of civil society in this process in order to promote potential sustainable outcomes in Syria during the years 2005 – 2010. The empirical analysis in this book highlights the shortcomings of the international empowering policies, where the fact that structures of power are multi-layered, multi-related and due to change from one context to another is ignored. Enabling civil society participation is a political matter where a proactive approach is needed rather than a normative internationally accepted one developed in isolation from the given political and institutional urban development context.

The world is undergoing today a wave of changes and rapid developments in various areas: political, economic, social and cultural. This is due to the tremendous progress in information and communication technology that turned the world into one village. This, in turn, leads to a transformation in international competitiveness rules. Syria, which is an important part of this world by virtue of its geo-strategic location, affects and is affected by what happens in this world. Thus, it is necessary for this country to increase its capabilities of competitiveness. Research and development are a major anchor of competitiveness and an important requirement for growth because they work to change the features of Syrian productive enterprises and help them to upgrade to a prestigious level. Investing in research and development will generally improve the GDP. The need to invest in research and development is derived from the fact that a sustainable economy is an economy based on knowledge, in all sectors. This requires the mobilization of all active entities concerned, including the government, NGOs, the private sector, international and regional organizations, the of science and technology community and the media.

Competitiveness nowadays becomes one of the most important strategies for spatial development, and it is considered as a tool of quick and direct regional development impact on the economic, social and environmental development. According to that, states do what they can on a global level or even on a regional level in order to elevate the development level for its cities and improve the Standards of living for their people too. But this tool is not sufficient by itself; it should be accompanied by other instruments such as setting and applying a group of policies that can support the resources and potentials of the regions in a sustainable civilized Way. This research examines the subject of competitiveness from the perspective of urban planning and analyzes the different factors of Competitiveness and its relates to the sustainable development. The research also examines and analyzes the urban competitiveness indicators pursued by the global countries, in order to reach a group of specific indicators that can be applied in Syrian Provinces. Finally; the research puts a set of policies capable of improving the competitiveness of Syrian regions and provinces to improve the competitiveness level of the provinces and achieve a well local and national sustainable development.

Based on the systematization of the processes occurring in the "Region" system, proposals were formulated for the territorial planning of the Desert Region of the SAR, which has a significant territorial resource. Based on the concept of sustainable development, the expediency of developing the energy industry based on renewable energy sources of the sun and wind as biospherically compatible, having a lower impact on the environment in comparison with power plants operating on other types of fuel (coal, oil, gas) is shown. Approximate estimates of the theoretical potential of solar and wind energy on the territory of the Desert Region are given, based on data from the Global sun Atlas and Global Wind Atlas. The determination of territories promising for the placement of wind and solar power plants was carried out taking into account the existing land use by sequentially excluding already occupied sites using Openmaps software. Proposals for the territorial planning of the Desert region are formulated, justifying the location of new energy facilities in the region, ensuring economic growth and allowing a balanced use of natural potential.

Homs city is Syria is one of them, it has a history dates back to 2000B.C. with a unique formation of the city. However, the urban area of Homs has a very distinctive characteristics, but unfortunately it suffers from the transportation system operated. The congested and unorganized planning process have led the city to a complete mess and disorders, for all categories of its inhabitants. This study analysis the components of the transportation system, and identifies the greatest issues and problems the inhabitants suffer from, by locating the driving forces and the causes of these issues, and generally asses the quality of the system itself. Therefore, a holistic approach is proposed to improve the transportation system, and suggests some key plans to shift the city to a higher level of development. By locating the strength points, and detect the benefits of these strength points and exploit them. By evaluating the road network and create a new system that mitigates the negative environmental impacts (emissions, noise…) and reduce the crowded gathering of inhabitants, which caused a severe stress in their daily life.

This paper focuses on regional innovation models "RIMs" and spatial development initiatives "SDI". The goal is to establish a spatial structural model by adopting a strategic cluster structures and spatial development networks approach to localize the urban-rural sustainable development in the Syrian coastal region. The research uses a mixed-methods approach. Both qualitative and quantitative techniques are utilized to analyze the available data and information. A survey was conducted on a specific sample of respondents, including experts, academic researchers, and decision-makers, to gather opinions on the keys/problems of regional development and the pattern of urban-rural spatial development. Survey results and the geospatial characteristics of the region led to proposing the missing regional links at the macro-level for clusters to overcome limitations and reap opportunities beyond their spatial reach. At the meso-level, geographic units "river basins" provide a spatial incubator for the conceptual urban-rural structural map based on a spatial cluster development networks scenario. Therefore, an ArcGIS software analysis with a multi-tier classification of the developmental advantages was used to identify high value-adding productive/effective clusters. Then, a scale-up/out process was adopted to transfer lessons learned to adjacent sub-regions by formulating a guiding regional spatial vision. Results indicated that the conceptual spatial structure maps could be helpful to decision-makers in forming a support system for regional planning assets efficiency to steer the urban-rural sustainable development and establish regional growth engines with national dimensions.

Mr. Paul Mifsud, Coordinator of the UNEP/MAP, addressed the meeting. He noted that in Portoroz the MSSD was adopted last November. The major challenge lies in implementation of the strategy. The strategy outlines the main needs and objectives. It works at all, but especially the national, level. It is up to countries to set up their own activities at their own pace. Each country has the primary responsibility for its own SD. MAP’s job is to assist countries to develop their strategies. Egypt, Morocco, S&M and Syria are developing their national strategies with financial support from donor countries. Regional and sub-regional initiatives are also important. 1996 meeting set up the Mediterranean Commission for Sustainable Development. Subregional processes such as Adriatic Initiative are welcome, and Slovenia should be commended. Slovenia is expected to play a major role in the application of the ecosystem approach. The Adriatic will be a good test case for this. EEA and UNEP/MAP have done a survey. MSSD can facilitate implementation of Horizon 2020, launched November at EU Summit in Barcelona. Partners agreed to develop a roadmap for de-polluting the Mediterranean by 2020. The EC is preparing it for endorsement in Cairo in November. EC and Euromed should take advantage of reputation and capacities of MAP. They should work together. Slovenia’s leadership is recognized and MAP will ensure support of southern Med countries. 4. Mr. Bricelj presented the reasons for a sub-regional approach in the Adriatic. He outlined the threats to the Adriatic and provided scientific evidence. The mouth of the Po River is especially sensitive. Indicators are serious and urge us to change our behavior. Family of Adriatic countries proposed Contingency Plan, CAMP	[]

Being an essential factor in advancing the comprehensive development process, one goal this research focuses on the concept of Education for sustainable development and the role of Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) in achieving it. The other goal of research is to investigate the extent to which these objectives of education for sustainable development are realized in the programs of Non-Governmental Organizations in Lattakia. To achieve the goals of this research, the researcher designs a questionnaire composed of 34 items addressed to NGO beneficiaries. These items have the three dimensions of sustainable development (economic, social, and environmental), and each dimension contains two components (awareness and education, rehabilitation and training). Questionnaires are checked for consistency and reliability, then applied to a sample composed of 150 NGO beneficiaries (male or female). Also, this sample includes three NGOs from Lattakia. The results obtained show significant differences (P =0.05) between the average scores of NGO beneficiaries for the two variables, NGOs and educational attainment. However, no significant differences are detected between NGO beneficiaries' average scores for the age variable. This research concludes that there are significant differences between the average response of NGO beneficiaries in the sustainable development dimensions (economic, social), depending on the areas of education for sustainable development (awareness and education, rehabilitation, and training). We have also found that there are no significant differences between beneficiaries' average responses in the environmental dimension of sustainable development according to the areas of education (awareness and education, rehabilitation and training). This research ascertains that NGOs provide some educational needs for beneficiaries such as awareness and education, training and rehabilitation, for achieving sustainable development objectives. Also, this research points out the role of education in achieving sustainable development goals through the programs of Syrian NGOs concerned with beneficiaries' education, rehabilitation, and training.

The analysis is based on the model of balancing external conditions and national priorities for developing an agenda in informal institutions (supply-demand model). This analytical paradigm allows to reveal to what extent the Presidency has managed to ensure: 1) a high level of response to the key global governance challenges in the agenda and summit decisions; 2) a balance between national and other members’ interests in the Presidency priorities; 3) utilizing the institution’s capabilities; 4) conformity of the role chosen by the Presidency (organizer, mediator, political leader, national representative) to the combination of external and internal conditions.Russia took over the responsibility for coordinating the G20 work from Mexico, accepting the rotating presidency of this premier forum for economic cooperation on December 1, 2012. The G20 met the fifth year of its work under conditions of a two speed recovery which by March 2013 transformed into a three speed recovery. Unsteady and sluggish growth, persisting imbalances and downside global economy risks demanded that this forum of the world largest economies concentrate the efforts on developing a set of measures aimed at boosting sustainable, inclusive and balanced growth and jobs creation around the world. These priorities constituted the core of the Russian G20 presidency concept, aimed at ensuring sustainable global growth and rebuilding of trust between the world economy different agents in accordance with the G20 mission and capability.Consolidating efforts on its core economic and financial priorities, the G20 also launched collaboration to overcome such risks as increasing income disparities, chronic underinvestment into development of safe, secure and modern infrastructure, unforeseen consequences of regulation.The analysis findings reveal that the Russian presidency managed to ensure a good balance of national interests and the partners’ priorities in the G20 agenda; utilizing the G20 capabilities to respond to the key global governance challenges. The choice of the presidency role depended on the nature of the issues and was defined by a combination of internal and external conditions. Thus, the acuteness of the problem for all summit participants determined demand for leadership in including into the economic forum agenda the debate on a peaceful resolution of the conflict in Syria. On employment and social policies the Russian presidency combining the roles of an organizer and a political leader helped upgrade the G20 dialogue to a new quality level.A major success factor in deliberation and adoption of the comprehensive action plan on base erosion and profit shifting was the OECD capability to take responsibility for the plan development. With the OECD leadership, solid experts’ foundation, and a high level of relevance of the problem for all members, the presidency supported the process as the organizer.On the topic of stimulating long-term investment, a priority for Russia as well as most of the G20 partners, the presidency managed to consolidate the efforts of several international institutions over a short period. On this priority, as well as on the financial regulation reform, the presidency acted as a representative of the national interests and an organizer. In developing the new development strategy the choice in favor of a combination of a mediator and an organizer proved most productive. As a result the G20 agreed a new cooperation for development outlook.The presidency active collaboration with the international organizations and engagement with social partners was instrumental in harnessing their experts’ potential and enhancing the G20 transparency, legitimacy and effectiveness. The G20 institutions consolidation continued through development of new coordination mechanisms and strengthening accountability.Under the Russian presidency the G20 reaffirmed its value as the premier economic cooperation forum. Emphasizing restoring strong and inclusive growth and employment while ensuring fiscal sustainability, the leaders for the first time in the history of the G20 stressed that the well-being of individual people should be at the center of the growth agenda. This consequential outcome of the five years collaboration might be a start of a new G20 agenda where inclusiveness is one of the pillars of growth.The research was carried out with financial support of Russian Humanities Research Foundation within the framework of a research project Elaborating a Supply – Demand Model to Balance External Demand and National Priorities in the Presidency Proposals for Agenda in G20, G8 and BRICS, project №12-03-00563.

Many commentators have expressed concern that the country is defying the Western path of sustainable development guided by the rule of law and good governance standards. Yet, studies of the real existing articulation of the BRI are lacking. Through a comparative case study of Chinese loans for infrastructure in East Africa (the Standard Gauge Railroad in Kenya and the Ethiopia-Djibouti railroad), this article offers a consolidated and more systematic assessment of what kind of governance China is in fact practicing through the BRI and the reasons behind what I argue to be its ‘adaptive governance’ approach. Specifically, it examines the attitude of Chinese state-owned enterprises (SOEs) toward corporate social responsibility (CRS) in light of the regulatory frameworks of the Chinese central government and host governments. Through a combination of document analysis and in-depth interviews with relevant stakeholders, this paper compares the railroads China has financed and built in Kenya and Ethiopia as part of the BRI with a focus on CRS and their economic, social, and environmental impacts. It argues that the reason for the differing CRS in the two case studies is that China is not forcing upon host countries any specific type of governance, because its approach is above all adaptive and conforms with its core principles of sovereignty and non-interference. Such an approach, however, has generated several negative externalities that may reinforce poor governance standards and ultimately undermine the sustainability and developmental outcomes of the BRI. By looking at concrete cases from the ground, this article sheds new light on China’s emerging development paradigm along the BRI and addresses some of the concerns related to China’s rise as a great power.

and energy for sustainable development are convergent: an estimated 90% of displaced people globally have no access to electricity, while 85% of refugees are hosted in developing countries. However, few tools to plan and design sustainable energy access interventions have been transposed to displacement settings. This paper presents a novel framework for the holistic planning of energy projects which considers both sustainability aspects and the specificities of displacement settings. The framework is the result of a review of literature which aimed to define a “sustainable energy intervention” in displacement contexts and an assessment of relevant planning tools against this definition. The framework includes the use of an energy delivery model toolkit, an inclusive design approach, an assessment of the desired impacts, energy system modelling, business model design, and an assessment of economic viability. We apply the framework in the design of a solar mini grid of Holl Holl refugee camp in Djibouti, in which a sustainable intervention and business model are proposed that could be compatible with the local conditions. We highlight issues that arise from the humanitarian sector status quo and propose that this framework could help to enhance sustainable energy practices in the humanitarian and development sectors.

Since the rapprochement among Eritrea, Ethiopia and Djibouti in 2018, the geopolitical dynamics of the region has changed to a different level. These regional changes will significantly contribute to the development of extractive and processing industries, agriculture, trade, construction and tourism in Eritrea. However, all these developments unquestionably require sustainable and efficient water use, intensive development of water management and water technologies, among others. Based on the specific conditions of Eritrea, identification of existing main trends in the design and construction of water management facilities and structures followed by formulation of practical recommendations and future directions has been the focus of this study. Reliable and relevant information has been processed and analysed using general scientific research methods, including generalization and analysis, synthesis and analogy, historical and hypothetical methods of cognition. This paper comprehended that the design, construction and operation of water management structures should consider the predominantly hot climatic condition of the country, while observing the main development trends in the field. These activities help in ensuring reliable and trouble-free operation of hydraulic structures, using modern and progressive achievements of hydraulic engineering science and global practice in the field of dam engineering and construction of culverts taking into account environmental requirements and norms, and using modern high-performance mechanisms and methods of production of hydraulic works. Moreover, the hydrological and water management conditions of Eritrea are characterized by limited water resources, poor knowledge of water bodies, and lack of reliable hydrological, meteorological and geological information. Under these circumstances, it would be necessary to use mathematical modelling for understanding and forecasting hydrological processes in river basins.

This poses a major challenge to policy makers and the society. It is necessary to have a clear picture of Iran׳s energy status in recent years showing the flow of energy supply, demand, consumption, import and export to know how the energy situation in Iran is and identify its weaknesses and strengths. This paper is the first step in that direction and presents an overview of Iran energy situation and the potential and current state of renewable energy application. The status of energy in Iran is compared to world’s energy status via five key factors, and finally this comparison shows hints for designing roadmap of energy for Iran to attain sustainable and secure energy in long term. The novel contribution of this work is the STEEP analysis of Iran energy situation for designing the long-term supporting mechanisms for sustainable and secure energy for Iran based on Social (S), Technological (T), Economical (E), Environmental (E) and Political (P) criteria.

multi-criteria decision-making problem that highly depends on the decision makers’ vision has a major issue among supply chain (SC) managers. SC sustainability, which pays attention to the environmental, economic, and social aspects in SC, has been recently highlighted in the evaluation process undergone by the SC managers. Suppliers, as the basic components of the SC, play a significant role in creating a sustainable SC. Hence, the first aim of this research is to determine the weights of sustainability criteria by using analytical hierarchy process. The second aim of this study is to evaluate suppliers based on four main criteria, CO2 emissions, the number of employees in the suppliers’ country industry, water consumption and distance from supplier's country to the destination at three SC levels and the macroeconomic (international) level. In order to address the second goal of this research, the Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) method as a multi-criteria decision-making method has been applied. In this research, Iran's steel industry has been selected as the case study. Results show that the Iranian mining industry is the best sustainable supplier for Iran's steel industry. In addition, Iran was found as the best sustainable supplier country for most suppliers in Iran's steel industry SC based on the three SC sustainability criteria at three levels. Finally, a sensitivity analysis has been applied according to the different weights of the sustainability criteria. The results of this research can help managers in the steel industry to deal with the supplier selection problem at the macro-level. Furthermore, the presented approach in this research can assist managers of other industries to select and evaluate their suppliers.

turn, have led to problems such as fossil fuels depletion, social, economic and environmental damage and territorial imbalance. The country should therefore design a sustainable energy system based on clean energy a s well as renewable energy. Accordingly, and given that Iran's rural areas suffer from the unsustainable energy system, it is necessary to integrate renewable energy into comprehensive development programs in general, and into rural development programs, specifically. This review paper answers the following questions: Why is renewable energy important for Iran at national and rural levels? How is renewable energy related to sustainable rural development? and What are the challenges in the promotion of renewable energy technologies in Iran? The paper concludes that although renewable energy has potential for development in Iran's rural areas due to environmental, social and economic advantages, it could face some infrastructural, managerial, socio-cultural and economic challenges. Accordingly, aggressive and innovative policy making is required to meet these challenges.

This paper is a comparative study on the socio-environmental sustainability in traditional courtyard houses in Iran and China, as two of the ancient civilizations in the world. The aim is to investigate the potential of traditional courtyard houses in responding to environmental challenges alongside social norms over a long period of time. To achieve this purpose, social and environmental dimensions of the sustainability as well as the main elements of traditional courtyard houses in Iran and China are identified. Then, the way these elements have contributed to the social and environmental sustainability of heritage settlements are described, analyzed, and compared through library and field survey studies. Results of this research show that Iranian and Chinese traditional courtyard houses were designed based on a careful attention to climatic requirements in their socio-cultural context, in order to provide both physical and mental comforts for residents. As conclusion, some socio-environmental design principles are extracted, as lessons learned from the past, which can be considered in designing of contemporary sustainable residential buildings in Iran and China. These design patterns, can be generalized to all cases with similar climatic conditions, in order to save more energy as well as enhancing social values in mentioned areas.

Among the renewable sources, Iran has geothermal energy potential. The Iranian government is considerable attention to the utilization of renewable energy, especially wind, solar and geothermal energies. Due to recent advancements in geothermal energy, many investors in the country have become interested in investing in this type of energy. Geothermal studies in Iran started in 1975 with a cooperative between the ministry of Energy of Iran and ENEL Company from Italy. Preliminary studies indicated potential for geothermal power generation in four areas in northern Iran (Khoy-Maku, Sabalan, Sahand and Damavand at Azarbaijan Gharbi, Ardebil, Azarbaijan Sharghi and Tehran provinces), respectively. Geothermal development in Iran has gained momentum in the last five years with increased exploration and industry growth in the country. Iran is developing a geothermal plant for power production. Iran government plans to build 2000 MW of renewable energy capacity over the next five years. Total projected use (geothermal capacity) has been estimated 100 MW at the end of 2010. Exploration drilling is currently in-progress for Meshkinshahr project in North-Western Iran. The Sabalan geothermal power plant is expected to produce 50 MW electric powers in 2011. The plants are planned by Iran Ministry of Energy and the Renewable Energy Organization of Iran (SUNA). This study presents a brief introduction to the resource, status and prospect of geothermal energy in Iran.

selection through a questionnaire-based survey. In addition, a hybrid model is proposed to identify the most sustainable supplier with respect to the determined attributes using an Iranian textile manufacturing company as case study. The first contribution of the research is developing a comprehensive list of sustainability criteria and sub-criteria and incorporating them into a questionnaire and distributing the questionnaire to academics and practitioners for establishing the importance and applicability of these criteria and sub-criteria. In order to demonstrate the robustness of the data obtained from the questionnaire, different established statistical tests (Cronbach’s alpha and Mann-Withney U-Test) were applied. The results show that economic aspect is still the most essential aspect, followed by environmental aspect and finally social aspect. The second contribution is the development of a new hybrid model by integrating fuzzy preference programing, as one of the newest and most accurate fuzzy modification of Analytical Hierarchy Process, with Fuzzy Technique for Order of Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution. Fuzzy Preference Programming overcomes the shortcomings of the previous methods for obtaining the weight and Fuzzy Technique for Order of Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution prioritizes the suppliers and finds the best one under uncertainty. Generally, the developed list provides a basis that is helpful in improving suppliers’ performance in terms of sustainability which leads to improvement in sustainable supply chain management performance. In addition, the developed hybrid model can deal with inconsistency, uncertainty and calculation complexity. Generally, the framework (including the first and second objectives) can be applied by managers to evaluate and determine their appropriate suppliers in the presence of uncertainty.	[]

that affect sustainable delivery of megaprojects in Iran. The inputs to the model are based on a comprehensive literature review affecting the “triple bottom line” of sustainability, as measured in economic, environmental, and social costs. Innovation diffusion theory and extralogical laws of imitation inform the theoretical points of departure. The model inputs were customized for the context of Iran, and a structural equation model was developed, using data collected from 101 survey questionnaires. The findings identify a wide range of factors that directly impact megaproject sustainability, and these may be used by policymakers and practitioners within the Iranian construction industry to better manage sustainability outcomes. Principally, megaprojects would benefit from (1) the generation of sustainability awareness at the evaluation phase, (2) tackling corruption at the preparation phase, and (3) consolidating responsible project management practices at the usage phase. Moreover, these lessons may be more broadly applicable across the entire construction supply chain in Iran, as well as being transferable to other developing countries.

Using a qualitative research approach, it investigates the experiences of one particular village which is already popular with visitors and has featured in official tourism development plans. The focus is on the reactions of residents and their perceptions of tourism impacts and formal policies. Findings indicate that villagers are concerned about the use of local natural and cultural resources for tourism purposes, recognising negative consequences which seem to them to outweigh positive effects. Participation has been very limited in government rural tourism initiatives which are felt to yield few benefits for village inhabitants. Current policies thus appear ineffective and reforms are necessary if the potential for sustainable rural tourism, embracing community engagement, is to be realised.

In particular, they have played an important role in managing the supply of water throughout Iran for over two millennia in what is an arguably a sustainable manner. With water scarcity playing a prominent role in the modern world, qanats offer a practical, low cost solution to these issues.

Cities and rural areas are in the core of attention for developing. This study focuses on rural areas. Stability of building structures is so important in villages and rural areas. One sustainable development criterion of villagers is suitable housing. In this research, both new and traditional technologies are investigated for developing rural areas. The most part of Iran is in desert areas. This research investigates these areas in Iran as a case study. Two MCDM methods is applied as a new hybrid model in this research, at first SWARA is applied for weighting criteria and then COPRAS is applied for evaluating five selected building structures in term of these regions climate. Authors propose that this research can be useful as a framework for using in other regions in all around the world.

Ninety nine percent of energy production in Iran comes from oil & gas and only 1% from renewable energy resources. Since Iran has very rich fossil energy resources, little attention has been paid to explore alternative ways of energy production. Majority of country's income is from oil & gas which put extra pressure on its natural resources. Continuing with the existing trend may lead to a path away from the goals of sustainable development, set for the country. Therefore, the sustainability study should be of interest to decision-makers.

Now, renewable energy is a significant issue that must be considered seriously as a policy and in order to achieve energy sustainability on a global scale especially in whole developing countries. Also, since the role of renewable energy in sustainable development is remarkable, thus this article presents a comprehensive discussion of energy sustainability for urban areas with related energy indicators and technical analysis of a Hybrid Power System to show the importance of renewable energy to gain energy sustainability. This paper presents the feasibility of using PV-DG hybrid systems as the reliable energy by an economic and technical analysis in one of the southern cities of Iran use of HOMER software. Regarding the high average of solar radiation that is about 5.4 kWh/m2/d in Chabahar city, technical analysis of this system demonstrates that this city has a high capacity to producing the electrical energy via PV-diesel hybrid system with total electrical production amount of 10,575 kWh/yr from PV (8,447 kWh/yr) and Diesel system (2,128 kWh/yr). For do this work at the first, the required data is gathered from the meteorological organization of Iran and then technical and economic analysis is conducted with the Homer software. This study regarding the high potential of solar energy of Chabahar city shows that to achieve development especially in the energy sustainability field needs to implementing proper actions such as enough investment on clean energy and using renewable energy for electrical production.

Internet of things (IoT) has been introduced as the next wave of innovation. However, there is still little evidence of progressing IoT in developing countries. Therefore, making policies for investors and tech-entrepreneurs are much needed. Iran, as a transition economy, follows its 1404 economic outlook and should prioritise industries for using IoT. Thus, the aim of this study is to prioritise these industries. In the Iran Telecommunication Research Center and by using the multiple attribute decision making (MADM), criteria weight and prioritising the industries were obtained and each aspect of 'sustainable IoT', obtained and for this aim and to prioritise the industries the analytic hierarchy process (AHP), technique for order of preference by similarity to ideal solution (TOPSIS) and ELimination Et Choix Traduisant la REalité e (ELECTRE) methods applied. The result is, respectively, healthcare, energy, smart home, transportation and retailing.

The objective of this paper is to investigate barriers facing solar energy development in Iran through a case study conducted on the Alborz Province. A questionnaire was designed and then submitted to the professionals in the field of solar energy. First, the identified barriers are classified into five categories of technical, legal, economic, sociocultural, and support by help of experts. Then, the fuzzy Best-Worst method is used to determine importance of the identified criteria and sub-criteria for development of the solar energy sector in the region. The findings indicate that the primary barriers to solar energy development are economic factors which are related to the adverse impact of the uncertain economic conditions including the sanctions against Iran. Because of the high risk of new business, domestic people do not have enough ambition and interest in starting new renewable energy projects. The low price of fossil fuels (in the economic category as sub-criteria), has the most significant impact on the stagnation of this sector, which is related to the ease of access to energy in Iran and its effect on the interest in renewable energy use. Supporting the private sectors by receiving financial incentives can help development of the renewable energy sector in the province. By using similar research for other regions, decision makers can accurately identify challenges for development of solar energy.

In this respect, urban sustainable development is an important challenge, and a considerable part of sustainable development. Therefore, this study was carried out to assess and predict urban sustainability in different areas of Kermanshah city of Iran using an integrated approach, including the improved full permutation polygon synthetic indicator (IFPPSI) and Shannon's entropy methods. Kermanshah is the largest city located in the west of Iran with six main urban areas, which is facing many environmental, economic and social problems. The results showed that among the six urban areas, Areas 1, 3 and 4 have been shown to be at a moderate level, based on the synthetic indicator value (0.25–0.5). According to the synthetic indicator value (< 0.25), the levels of the other areas (2, 5 and 6) are quite bad. The IFPPSI results were also compared with common multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) techniques, ELECTRE of the concordance subgroup, TOPSIS of the compromising subgroup and SAW of the scoring subgroup. The results of the Friedman test showed that there is no significant difference between the MCDM and IFPPSI methods; however, the IFPPSI method is preferred due to its remarkable advantages over the other methods. In a subsequent part, based on the data collected from three time periods, the years 1996, 2006 and 2016, the indicator anticipated for 2026 showing no improvement in the environmental, economic and social indexes compared with the current conditions.

This implies a comprehensive underdevelopment in Iran, necessitating the improvement of infrastructure which significantly affects all the pillars of sustainable development including environment, health, and economy. This study, takes transportation as an important infrastructure which has various direct and indirect impacts on all pillars of sustainable development, especially in the case study of Iran. To evaluate this, the present study aims to investigate 1) which sustainability perspective dominates in Iran (strong sustainability, weak sustainability, or health-centered sustainability); and 2) the consistency degree of each transportation mode with each pillar of sustainability including environment, health, and economy. We employ VAR and simultaneous equations system to find which perspective of sustainable development dominates Iran; and to rank the transportations modes in accordance with their consistency with sustainable development in Iran during 1979–2016. Overall, the results of this study is found to be significant and support the strong sustainability perspective in Iran. The most compliant transportation modes with the sustainable development in Iran are then ranked as: a) rail, b) air, c) road, and d) maritime transportation. These results suggest the policy-makers to: 1) value the environmental issues at the top of the agenda for the sustainability strategies; and 2) to shift the load of passenger and goods to the rail transportation by investing and developing the rail network.

The research concentrated on emergency response operations, emergency medical care, emergency transportation, and evacuation—the most important issues after an earthquake with regard to saving the lives of victims. For each topic, some guidelines and criteria are presented for enhancing emergency response activities, based on evaluations of experience of strong earthquakes that have occurred over the past two decades in Iran, notably Manjil (1990), Bam (2003), Firouz Abad‐Kojour (2004), Zarand (2005) and Broujerd (2006). These guidelines and criteria are applicable to other national contexts, especially countries with similar seismic and social conditions as Iran. The results of this study should be incorporated into comprehensive plans to ensure sustainable development or reconstruction of cities as well as to augment the efficiency of emergency response after an earthquake.

industrialization, and climate change pose serious challenges to sustainable development. The expansion of green buildings (GBs) is regarded both as an effective method for energy consumption and an important strategy in the construction industry. However, in Iran due to lack of knowledge and awareness, uncertainty, and permission-related problems, GBs have failed to attract the attention of developers and purchasers. Therefore, identifying the factors that influence the adoption of GBs in the Iranian setting is still unknown and needs a critical examination. To fill this gap, the present study expands the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) by adding five factors (including social influence, subjective knowledge, environmental attitude, perceived cost, and trust in responsible organizations) and examining their impacts on building experts’ adoption of GBTs. The sample of the study included 301 GB experts in Tehran City, Iran. Sixteen hypotheses were proposed and tested applying the partial least squares path modeling (PLS) approach. The results indicate subjective knowledge was only a good predictor of intention and did not exercise an influence on attitude and perceived usefulness. Social trust, attitude, and perceived cost also predicted intention. Perceived usefulness was a good predictor of both attitude and intention. Perceived ease of use was a good predictor of perceived usefulness and attitude. The results of this study provide key insights into promoting GBTs, as an effective pro-environmental behavior, in developing countries.

The research covers the zone between Iraq and Iran. The first investigated region is the “Mesopotamian Marshes” or Iraqi-Iran Marshes, a wetland zone situated in southern Iraq and partially in southwestern Iran. The other region is a desert district, which includes a prominent part of the southern and western parts of Iraq and part of Iran. The last is the centre city of Basra. The building materials were the most important building element that affected the conformation of vernacular habitats from the western part of Asia in general and the Iraq–Iran area in particular. In this study, we needed to focus on the effects of ecological and energy-efficiency processes in creating vernacular habitats and the selection of optimal building systems and materials in this part of the world, which can be an essential point for sustainable environmental building processes in the future. Reeds, clay, straw, bricks, and wood were the most popular building materials used by builders from this region. The impact of building material on the environment embodies the essential method implicitly significant in this research to effectively determine traditional building materials in the environment, in addition to comparative analysis. This presents an essential factor of our analysis, in addition to the impact of environments on building systems. The main target of this study is to benefit designers and building engineers in their pursuit to find optimal and competent solutions suitable for specific local microclimates using traditional methods in the design process that are sustainable and ecological.

Initial conditions for this transition may vary across different regions and countries. There are, however, also opportunities for innovative solutions that utilize other low‐carbon energy sources and technology mix. Sustainable development is a contested concept and varies with priorities attached to social, economic, and environmental goals. Therefore, the one‐size‐fits‐all type of solution paradigm needs to be broadened, to accelerate action in the short to medium term. Our argument is that natural gas can be an important complementary transition fuel to support renewable energy in the short‐ and medium‐term transition phases. This means that the goal of zero fossil fuel as a short‐ and medium‐term solution needs to be reconsidered. This takes us to the next argument that innovation and upgraded technology in the low‐carbon fossil fuel sector will provide an important impetus for low‐carbon transition, which we see as a phase lasting until the middle of the century. However, the transition toward a sustainable energy future of gas‐fueled solutions has challenges from the social, technical, economic, geographical, and political points of view. Suitable local solutions should, however, also be assessed. These should take into consideration infrastructure, local demands, resources, and economic aspects as well as national energy policies. An analysis based on the experiences of four countries, both developed and developing, is presented in this study. The countries selected for this study can be placed in two categories: those with an abundance of natural gas reserves (Iran and Norway) and those that are import‐dependent (India and UK). The cross‐country analysis will help us to understand the realistic challenges and opportunities of natural gas as a transition fuel.

To this end, different decision making tools were used including questionnaires and interviews with experts, local residents and visitors of the wetland. Strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats (SWOT) and quantitative strategic planning matrix (QSPM) analysis techniques were conducted to identify the required management strategies. Results showed that the existing ecotourism activities within the wetland are not in line with the sustainability requirements. Although the result of the present study showed that KNW has an unsustainable situation with regard to its current management strategies, if authorities take its great opportunities and strengths more into consideration, it can have positive effects on developing sustainable strategies to increase ecotourism activities in the region and to reduce the adverse effects on the environment.

considered sustainable when energy consumed and environmental emissions are optimal. As such, the assessment of energy flow, environmental emissions of walnut orchards in Alborz province of Iran and their simultaneous optimization by multi-objective imperialist competitive algorithm are the main goals of this investigation. Input-output energy analysis, IMPACT 2002+ method of life cycle assessment, and multi-objective imperialist competitive algorithm are used in the energy-environmental evaluation for optimization in this study. Results ascertain that energy uses of the entire output and input are computed to be 31,015 and 27200 MJ ha−1, respectively and that gasoline with 40% is the dominated consumer of energy. Moreover, energy use efficiency is 0.88, which indicates energy inefficiency in walnut production. Environmental results shows that On-Orchard emissions with a share more than 50% in ecosystem quality, human health, and climate changes and gasoline in resources category are the main hotspots. Multi-objective optimization illustrates that the reduction in total energy is 19316 MJ ha−1 (about 62%) and gasoline with 58% is the most energy saving input among all.

for the development of renewable energy in Iran. Considering that energy is one of the determining indicators in economic development and the development and optimization of renewable energy can play an effective role in economic growth and protection of environmental conditions, this article tries to introduce the types of renewable energy and general principles. They point to the policies that ultimately determine the priority and necessity of using some of them for the country and explain why and how to use them. The general principles discussed in this article include the advantages, disadvantages, potentials, and, most importantly, comparative comparisons with two neighboring countries. The results of these studies show that despite Iran’s diverse potentials in the field of renewable energy, wind energy has a higher priority than other cases in terms of economic justification and market competition, and domestic production rates. Other renewable energy sources for power generation and grid connection are less of a priority for short- or medium-term investment. However, for non-grid use in the country, they can also be very useful in the short term. In general, Iran can be a hub for renewable energy.

This supply is supporting irrigated agriculture in the area and is the source for the lake system around the delta. These Hamoun lakes are ecological very valuable wetlands; a number of them are registered as Ramsar sites. The Iranian government tries to improve the living conditions of the people in the area, among others by providing infrastructure for irrigated agriculture. Further development of the irrigated area will mean less water for the Hamouns with resulting lower average water coverage of the lakes. This will not only endanger the ecosystem that the Hamouns support but also the livelihoods of the people that depend on the goods and services that the lakes provide. This paper describes a study that has been carried out to support decision making on potential development schemes in the delta. The non-availability of data from Afghanistan requires the development of various tools and the use of remote sensing techniques to enable to make estimates for the river flow that Iran can expect from Afghanistan. An IWRM approach has been used for the balancing of interests involved. Some preliminary conclusions are described.

threating their futures, alongside with taking the environment and future generations under consideration, has become one of the prominent issues in different societies. Therefore, identifying and prioritizing the key factors of sustainable architecture according to regional and cultural features could be the first step in sustaining the architecture as a process and an outcome. In this paper, the key indicators of the environmental sustainability in contemporary architecture of Iran has been identified and prioritized. This study has been performed in three phases. First, identifying key factors of environmental sustainability according to the experts’ point of view and transforming the collected data to triangular fuzzy numbers. Subsequently, the best-worst multi-criteria decision-making method (henceforth BWM) under grey system circumstances has determined the weights and priority of the identified criteria. Eventually, identified key factors were prioritized by the complex proportional assessment method (hereafter COPRAS) under the condition of fuzzy sets.

The model’s application to the EIA, which used the Folchi method, was undertaken for the purpose of indicating the potential level and nature of sustainability (if appropriate) of the two mines. The results indicated that both Chogart and Gol-e-Gohar iron ore mine were deemed to be potentially unsustainable. The results suggests the delicate balance and failure of achieving some form of sustainability in regards to mining in Iran, due to the impacts it has upon the local environment and community affected. The paper concludes as to the potential significance of the model’s application in the attainment of the goal of sustainable mining.

The paper achieves this by applying a mathematical model of sustainable development developed by the author (re: Phillips [17], [18]), in respect to the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) conducted by Yousefi et al. [13] using the Rapid Impact Assessment Matrix (RIAM) methodology (re: Pastakia [15]; Pastakia and Jensen [16]). Using a model application methodology developed for the RIAM, the results indicated that the nature of sustainable development for Sabalan was considered to be very weak (S = 0.063). This was due to the imbalance between negative environmental impacts and positive socio-economic impacts deriving from the project. Further, when placed into context with a similar set of results obtained from the EIA of the Tuzla geothermal power plant by Baba [35] also using the RIAM methodology, then the similarities between the results obtained raises some legimate questions as to the sustainable development credentials of geothermal power production.

However, housing is not truly affordable if located in an inaccessible area with high transportation costs. Increasing the supply of affordable housing in accessible locations helps achieve multiple planning objectives: it reduces transportation costs, improves economic opportunity for disadvantaged groups, reduces accident risks, conserves energy and reduces pollution emissions. In recent years researchers have developed analysis methods for measuring total housing and transportation costs for different locations within cities, called a Housing and Transportation (H+T) Affordability Index. This study applies this type of analysis in Qom City, Iran. The results indicate that suburban-area households spend more than 57% of their monthly income on housing and transport, significantly more than the 45% spent by households in the central district. This is consistent with research results in other urban areas. This illustrates the feasibility of applying housing and transportation affordability analysis in developing country cities to help identify truly affordable and sustainable development.

in the west of Tehran, Iran. Firstly, the influencing factors on sustainable urban development including seven criteria and 24 sub-criteria were screened and selected based on literature review, interviews with experts and Delphi technique. Then, the criteria were weighted and prioritized using Group Fuzzy BWM (GFBWM) and Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) methods. Fuzzy logic and Weighted Linear Combination (WLC) methods in GIS were used to determine the sustainability of Karaj for urban development. Finally, Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) was used to rank the identified areas. Our findings showed that the socioeconomic criterion and employment sub-criterion were the most important in AHP and GF-BWM methods. Both methods estimated that about 30% of the entire study area was highly sustainable in terms of urban development with no significant difference between the two methods. Finally, TOPSIS selected the center and north of the city as those with the highest priority. The integrated approach used in this study provided a flexible tool for analysis of the sustainable development, useful for planners and city managers.

The main strategy for achieving this goal is by encouraging the economic activities at the coastal areas that are consistent with environmental capacities. Tourist industry has a special place in the national economy, and it plays the most dynamic economic role in sustainable development. A large number of people usually choose this area for recreation as a result of the beautiful landscapes consisting of green forest, hills, rivers and wetland. Therefore, the objective of this study is to determine the optimal tourism sites among various tourism alternatives based on ICZM strategies. This study develops an evaluation model based on the analytic network process (ANP) and the technique for order performance by similarity to ideal solution (TOPSIS), to help the investors in tourism industries, for the selection of the optimal tourism site in the Integrated Coastal Zone Management in a fuzzy environment, where the vagueness and subjectivity are handled with linguistic values parameterized by triangular fuzzy numbers. The ANP is used to analysis the structure of tourism site selection problem and determine the weights of the criteria, while Fuzzy TOPSIS method is utilized to obtain final priorities. A real world application is performed to illustrate the utilization of the model for the tourism site selection problem. Furthermore, for convenience and accuracy in calculating the relative weights of the criteria, Super Decisions software was used. The proposed model adopted in Qeshm Island considers and interprets the effectiveness and feasibility of the model.

tourism industry around the world. Medical tourism can contribute to the sustainable development and economic dynamism of countries. Therefore, in this study, we prioritize the world’s leading countries in medical tourism for Iranians. First, five main criteria and 20 sub-criteria were selected, which are the reasons for choosing a country as a medical tourism destination. In this paper a combined fuzzy SWARA-PROMETHEE approach was used to prioritize tourism destinations. The acronym PROMETHEE stands for Preference Ranking Organization Method for Enrichment Evaluation method and represents an useful MCDA (Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis) tool. On the other hand, SWARA acronym means Step-wise Weight Assessment Ratio Analysis. The criteria were weighted using the fuzzy SWARA approach. In the following, using the PROMETHEE approach, we prioritized eight countries as tourism destinations, then we identified criteria related to sustainability of medical tourism destinations and prioritized medical tourism destinations using these criteria as the contributions of this paper. The weights obtained for criteria “Abilities of skilled staff,” “Applied medical equipment,” “Marketing capability,” “Type of service provided,” and “Application of information and communications technology” were 0.176, 0.232, 0.108, 0.395, and 0.089, respectively. The results show that medical tourism destination priorities for Iranians are India (Phi = 0.1396), Malaysia (Phi = 0.1128), Panama (Phi = 0.0976), Mexico (Phi = 0.0790), Singapore (Phi = 0.0096), Taiwan (Phi = −0.0442), Brazil (Phi = −0.1747), and Costa Rica (Phi = −0.2196), respectively. Negative Phi values indicate below average performance of those countries and positive Phi values indicate above average performance of those criteria. The results indicate that countries with negative Phi values should be strengthened relative to the improvement of some criteria.

Waste from electrical and electronic equipment contains hazardous materials that may have an impact on human environment and health if not properly managed. Therefore, governments should be concerned and be seeking ways to design the recovery and disposal networks to manage WEEE waste treatment strategies. The objective of this paper is to design a country level WEEE recovery network based on sustainable development in which economic, environmental and social issues are considered. A simulation optimisation model is developed to determine the best locations for the collection centres and also recycling plants for managing total WEEE in Iran, so that the government can simultaneously perform the trade-off between environmental issues and economical and social impacts. The proposed model was examined through an illustrative case study from Iran's current WEEE situation.

However, today the country is faced with serious challenges in the water sector, including rising water demand and shortages, declining groundwater levels, deteriorating water quality, and increasing threats to the environment and various ecosystems. If these issues persist, tragedy will be the inevitable result. Over the last three decades tremendous efforts have been made to supply water, primarily through an extensive program of development, with dam building at the forefront. This paper offers an introduction to the different factors and elements influencing the water balance in today’s Iran and presents a perspective on the trend of dam building in recent times.

Due to main political and economic role of Tehran, population of this metropolis is high and increasing. Urban transportation of this highly populated city contributes more than 70% of air pollution problem in this city. Although a number of urban transport developments, policy measures and regulations have been employed, Tehran’s air pollution has remained crucial thus far. Finding ways to encourage individuals to behave more sustainable can be considered as a substantial approach of tackling environmental problems such as air pollution, since it can be highly cost-effective and fast. This research attempt to evaluate the impacts of two factors of outcome framing and psychological distance of air pollution on citizen’s willingness to behave environmental friendly, particularly to change the travel mode choice. Results illustrate that communicating the consequences of air pollution can provoke individuals’ to act more environment friendly or in particular to change their intention for using more sustainable mode of transportation. Framing the positive consequences of mitigating air pollution take precedence over framing the negative consequences. Moreover the gains of mitigating air pollution have an impact on the willingness to use of bicycle and bus. Results also show that decreasing the psychological distance of air pollution in order to make manipulated frame more personally relevant has no significant impact on respondents.

The history of the Nile in Africa offers useful lessons for civil engineers seeking to build a sustainable future, in which climate change is an existential challenge. For thousands of years, communities along the river have sought greater water security at the interface of technical possibility, politics and unpredictable nature. Large projects such as the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance dam and Jonglei canal in South Sudan continue to be controversial, but both show how civil engineers might help to address climate change challenges. Once again, Nile communities need civil engineers to find and implement innovative, politically acceptable and sustainable development initiatives.

Water—as an international public good—is at the core of sustainable development, and it is critical for socioeconomic development, healthy ecosystems, and for human survival itself. Many of river basin international organizations have been established by riparian States with the purpose of more effectively and sustainably govern their shared water resources. However, their achievements in ensuring sustainability in the use of water resources in their respective basins vary considerably: while some seem to be more successful in solving water-specific collective action problems and sustainability challenges, another fail. In international law, States enjoy sovereignty to exploit natural resources on their territory, insofar as such exploitation does not cause harm to neighboring States. The 1997 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Non-Navigational Uses of International Watercourses entered into force on August 17, 2014. However, three of upstream and downstream African States: Egypt, Sudan, and Ethiopia have not yet joined it. Sudan and Egypt have been advantaged by the 1959 Treaty signed between the two countries, thus totally excluding the other Nile Basin States. The construction of the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (Blue Nile Dam) is now a national pride for Ethiopia which will generate power and constitute a better supply in electricity. If it is considered as a significant step in terms of sustainable development for the country and Africa as well, it is regarded in Egypt as an imminent danger to its Nile water. This study analysis the principles of international law related to transboundary watercourses governance in analyzing the 1997 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Non-Navigational Uses of International Watercourses (UNWC) (Part I), and in focusing on the impact of the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam in the mutual relations between the Nile river riparian States (Part II).

Sugar cane is one of the most agricultural crop in terms of economic returns and for that, in addition to sugar production enjoyed that allows many products such as molasses and its derivatives as well as feed and paper and cardboard industry. In Sudan, due to the integration of many factors, such as appropriate climate, fertile soils, labour and reasonable infrastructures, sugar production started in 1962. Kenana Sugar Estate, situated in the Sudan (East Africa), is considered to be one of the largest single estates in the world covering an area of 94,000 feddans (39,500 hectares). The Estate is situated 300 Km South of Khartoum. Geographically, it is located at 13 degree North of the latitude and 30 degree east of the longitude. Although the use of Geographic Information System (GIS) in sustainable development has been demonstrated, its utility for on-farm management has not yet been well appreciated in Sudan. This is particularly necessary since the sustainable development can only be realized with the farmers' participation. Development of integrated crop yield models using of GIS as well as soil, water related parameters is necessary. The main objective of this project is to produce Digital Base Maps for different layers for Kenana Sugar Company using Satellite imagery, Global positioning System (GPS) and GIS technology and link it with related database, this will help planner, decision maker and managers at all level to manage diagnoses the exiting problems and find the solution in relatively short time with minimum cost and efforts through the use of GIS capabilities. GIS can provide farm managers with an effective method to visualize, manipulate, analyze and display spatial data, providing the backbone of a Precision Agriculture (PA) system. The RTK GPS Leica 520 was used to collect the coordinates' reading from the field, total of eleven points distributed through the estate area were collected. These points will can use as base for any application inside the field. To create the features data for the study area, high resolution satellite image from IKONOS Satellite of one meter spatial resolution with three bands was used. The resolution of satellite images has improved considerably. As images are now available in the range of 1-5 m, remote sensing is increasingly being used in studies of sugar cane precision farming. The GIS and GPS have already become standard tools for building spatial databases and for geo-referencing fields and other spatial features. crop monitoring used to follow the crop status, different types of satellite images to detect the crop assessment and the situation inside the fields.

Civil Engineering is a professional engineering discipline that deals with the planning, design, construction, and maintenance of the physical and naturally built environment, including works such as roads, bridges, canals, dams, airports, sewerage systems, pipelines and railways. On the other hand, the sustainable development goads (SDGs) are a collection of 17 global goals and some 169 targets set by the United Nations General Assembly in 2015, as the World transforming sustainable Agenda for 2030. In this presentation the author made an effort to define targets of the 17 goals that directly or indirectly link to civil engineering in the hope that the civil engineering community of the Sudan could organize themselves with the related communities to achieve these targets within the deadline of 2030

Empirical studies reveal that Nigeria has a vast amount of forest resource base whose diversity reflects the country’s large land area of 923,765 km2. Its diverse tropical ecological environment comprise coastal mangrove and rain forest in the South, and Guinea Sudan and Sahel Savanna to the North. But, various estimates confirm the very high rate of deforestation in the country as a result of primarily persistent high and ever-increasing rate of demand from wood and wood products from both domestic and external sources. Thus, the natural function of the forest in purifying the environment is impaired. Integration of development planning and environmental management of all levels of political and economic decision making needs to be adopted to ensure sustainable development.

This chapter deals with international boundary disputes and natural resources. After providing an historical context to modern boundaries, the chapter describes how climate change directly impacts land, food, and water access because of increased extreme weather conditions. Thus, climate change can threaten peace and security in fragile regions due to conflicts over diminishing inhabitable territory and natural resources. The chapter assesses how international boundary disputes can be affected by changing demands for oil (eg in Kurdistan and South Sudan), and for renewable energy resources (eg the ownership, use, and control of rivers crossing multiple borders). It also reflects on a more global scope the effects that climate change-related migration has on the modern understanding of international borders.

AbstractThe sustainability of the earth for a sustainable developed future is the most important factor for today’s world. Because of modernization, people are focusing on advance to advance technologies, industrialization, etc. which is directly and indirectly hampering our future generation through climate change. Electricity production sectors are playing such a big role in climate change as they are heavily dependent on conventional energy sources. So, this paper aims to model and optimize a grid-connected sustainable energy sources based hybrid system for Er Roseires town, Sudan. The purpose of this simulation model is not only to investigate the relation of greenhouse gas emissions, energy consumption from the grid and its sale-back, and economic growth but also to propose a new hybrid energy approach that will be reliable for the coming future. The modeling and optimization of the system are done by using HOMER Pro® software. The optimization result shows that the hybrid model can satisfy the total load demand of the particular location taking no power from the grid.KeywordsClimate changeSustainable sourceHybrid systemPumped hydro storageWind

After decades of civil war, the Basic Services Fund (BSF) with DFID as lead donor, was a major contributor to the reconstruction efforts of the Government of South Sudan to develop its basic services, including improving access to safe water. Between 2006 and 2012, 29 NGOs received grants to improve water supply in the most remote areas of the country. In a post conflict context, sustainability of interventions is often a challenge: the BSF Secretariat took therefore an active role in guiding NGOs towards a more consistent, efficient and sustainable way of implementing WASH projects. Recommendations provided focused on sustainability with the aim to move away from intensive, short-term initiatives inspired by humanitarian concerns to long-term and better planned recovery projects. BSF being recognized as a successful funding mechanism, this article describes the sustainability-focused monitoring approach of the BSF Secretariat, and highlights the main lessons learned.

The project 'Strengthening ecosystems and development linkages through innovative economic approaches for green growth', also known as the ‘Green Growth project’, was an umbrella initiative that was managed by the Ecosystem Services and Economics (ESE) Unit of the UNEP Division of Environmental Policy Implementation (DEPI) with inputs from various other Divisions and offices of UNEP. The overall objective of the Green Growth Project was to contribute to a better integration of environmental concerns into national development processes, policy planning and decision-making.The project was targeted mostly at the global (and regional level), using conferences, meetings and policy dialogues with various country policy-makers as a tool to communicate integrating ecosystem services into economic policies. However, at national level, pilot studies were conducted in South Sudan, Kenya, and, through its UNDA 8th Tranche Component, Kazakhstan and Morocco. The Green Growth Terminal Evaluation has two main objectives: 1) to provide evidence of results to meet accountability requirements, and 2) to promote operational improvement, learning and knowledge sharing through results and lessons learned among UNEP and its main project partners.

This thesis discusses institutional sustainability and transitions to sustainable development. These concepts are explored through a qualitative case study on rural groundwater management institutions in Aweil East, South Sudan. The primary question guiding the discussion is how a transition towards sustainable development is reflected in this particular case. The secondary questions supporting the discussion are, firstly, to what extent are the groundwater institutions sustainable and secondly, what are the barriers of sustainable groundwater management. Qualitative fieldwork took place in multiple locations in Aweil East county in the South Sudanese state of Northern Bahr el Ghazal through individual and group interviews with communities, organizations and government officials. The findings suggest that in spite of the barriers, including the dependency on organizations due to lack of community ownership and government capacity, a transition towards sustainable development was happening at the time of the study. Also, it was found that the groundwater institutions were quite fragile and in an early stage of transition. Based on this, the thesis highlights the importance of understanding a transition in order to adjust strategies for managing institutions. Furthermore, it opens discussion on how to assess a transition and what aspects still needs to be developed.

Abstract Argan tree is endemic of Moroccan arid regions, providing socioeconomic and cultural benefits since ancient times. This study identifies the emerging threats for the argan forest, and the opportunities related to the innovative uses of argan products and byproducts. Argan forest is facing pressure from overgrazing, demand for argan oil and nuts, and land degradation, despite its recognition as a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve and the inclusion in the FAO Globally Important Agricultural Heritage Systems (GIAHS) Programme. Innovative use and recycling of the waste deriving from argan nuts processing, offer promising opportunities to support a local bio-economy. Argan press cake can be used to integrate livestock feeding, to extract sudan dyes or to produce bioplastics. Argan nut shells can be used to produce environment-friendly and low-cost purifying materials and biochar, or as a source of bioenergy. Argan pulp can be used for bioethanol production or to obtain natural insect repellent. Despite these promising opportunities, the socio-economic impact of innovative uses is still limited. Local population is not sufficiently involved in management and development strategies. To support the sustainable development of local communities, it is necessary to promote a participative approach as well as training and product differentiation among argan women cooperatives.

Protected areas in Egypt suffer from severe negligence in terms of sustainable development. One of the reasons is the absence of the role of the planner, designer and evaluator capable of evaluating protected lands, and convincing its residents and responsible organizations to draw up sustainable development plans, using the economic and environmental values of the land. They also lack any knowledge of the beautiful aspect and value of the land. This often leads to encroachment on the land and on important natural areas on the reservation. Consequently, it affects the environmental systems present through the loss of the natural resources that should be protected. Examples of this include the clear encroachment of touristic activities in Sharm el Sheikh on the lower border of the Nabaq Reserve, the presence of a large commercial mall in the city of Shalatin to trade with the Sudan, in the center of Elba Reserve, the exploitation of the Nile Islands Reserve with residents building on the land, in addition to the attempt by the Housing Ministry to sell parts of the Petrified Forest Reserve to residents. Thus, this research aims to examine the current status of lands surrounding the Petrified Forest Reserve to pinpoint the main reasons for negligence and the problems this area suffers from. In addition, this research aims to solve the problem of sustainability in the Petrified Forest Reserve to halt its deterioration.

Achieving sustainable development requires improving the living conditions of all residents in a way that preserves natural resources and avoids them being subject to unjustified waste and depletion. To achieve this, it is necessary to focus on three main areas: achieving economic growth and justice, preserving environmental and natural resources for future generations, and achieving social development by creating job opportunities, providing food, education and health care for all. The study aimed to identify the most important indicators of sustainable development and the challenges it faces in order to achieve its goals, dimensions and principles, and to know the obstacles that prevent the achievement of its goals, and development programs implemented within the framework of the sustainable development process. The solutions that must be taken to avoid these obstacles and the possible ways to develop this new method within the framework of an effective society capable of implementing the sustainable development goals. The study concluded that the indicators of sustainable development in Sudan need further modernization and development in order to be able to keep pace with the progress of nations. In addition, there is weakness on the part of the institutions concerned with overseeing the implementation of the sustainable development goals. The study recommended the need to strengthen the means of implementation and revitalize the global partnership in order to achieve the sustainable development goals. The study also recommended the need to provide and update indicators for sustainable development goals through the competent agencies.

South Sudan is currently fronting significant difficulties to achieve the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals 6 (SDGs) framed in 2015, concentrating on water as a path to sustainable development. The country capital city Juba is one of the drinking water insecure towns in the world due to a long civil war that destroyed basic infrastructures, encourage urbanization and rural urban immigration. This paper aimed to investigate drinking water quota per capita per day in other countries, suggest a drinking water budget per capita per day to Juba, estimate optimum capacity for drinking water treatment plant to the city, and recommend a suitable drinking water distribution system. Literature review methods under meta-analysis were conducted to assess the drinking water budget per capita per day for cities in the world and to investigate advantages and disadvantages of some drinking water distribution systems. Mathematical models were used to estimate the capacity of the drinking water treatment plant required in the city. The study concluded that amount of water needed for the city is 36 x 103 m3. It should be 35 x 103 m3 for the western side and 12 x 102 m3 for the eastern side of the city. It also found that a looped drinking water distribution system is the best option for the city. The study suggested construction of a new drinking water treatment plant to secure drinking water security and improve the drinking water distribution network.

The author believes that absent sustained and active leadership from governments at all levels, the business community, and civil society organizations, attaining real achievement in protecting our natural environment and the valuable resources it contains, will be permanently lost. Attainment also means while ensuring technologies and economic growth do no harm to it, it provides opportunities to millions who are direct beneficiaries from the environment. It requires development of an agreement on policy and legal frameworks at international and national levels to be linked up with the initiatives taking place at the municipal level to ensure not only sustainability, but also hold violators accountable. This chapter discusses what is current parlance in the international arena, particularly what is not working under the framework of the United Nations Conference on the Environment and Development and its ensuing multilateral environmental agreements, in its translation to guide governments, corporations, and civil society to build and sustain our cities. It highlights models of “sustainable communities” globally and the role the private sector must and is playing in ensuring sustainability, replication, and scaling up, without damaging our environment. The Republic of South Sudan will be a case study on where a new nation-state and other developing countries can capitalize on adopting policy and legal frameworks to create an enabling environment to build truly sustainable cities within their territories.

A systems methodology for identifying, characterizing, and evaluating engineering solutions and policies that prevent the formation of brownfields is presented. Brownfields exist in very large numbers and pose serious environmental and health risks in developed countries around the world. As industries abandon unprofitable sites and development spreads to other parts of the globe, potential brownfield creation abounds which will further exacerbate the problem. Preventing the creation of brownfields in the first place should be a priority. However, it will depend on the availability of options (technology) and the incentives to implement them (policy). A retrospective look at the City of Kitchener, Ontario, Canada, shows that a $10,000 investment in prevention could have avoided $100,000+ of cleanup cost on former gas station sites. Similarly, leaking underground fuel tanks could be prevented in South Sudan with double-walled tanks and appropriate procedures for less than 2% of the cost of cleaning up fuel leaks. Additional health-related economic and social costs associated with consumption of hydrocarbon contaminated groundwater could also be avoided. Actual implementation of pollution prevention requires a systems approach. Our research focuses on enhancing the relationship between engineering and policymaking through systems thinking and providing practical decision making support tools to guide development in a sustainable manner.

Transboundary Trade Corridors (TTC) are becoming increasingly important for achieving national, regional, and global development objectives. However, the cross-boundary nature of these projects involves dealing with diverse contexts that span across different countries and involve multiple stakeholders with varying interests. These circumstances exacerbate the risks and uncertainties that arise during their implementation, intensifying the challenges involved in making decisions about how to proceed with their execution. Insufficient evaluations of development projects have been identified as a contributing factor to unforeseen risks, which in turn can result in the underperformance and failure of transportation infrastructure projects. This ultimately acts as an impediment to achieving sustainable development goals. Further, rapid deployment of post risk-event corrective measures can exacerbate, for instance, macro-economic crisis and civil unrest. The Great Equatorial Land Bridge is a TTC planned to traverse five countries: Cameroon, Central African Republic, South-Sudan, Ethiopia, and Kenya. Despite the anticipated advantages for globalization, political cooperation, and regional integration, the risks that must be addressed to successfully implement this project are still uncertain. We, therefore, use a Multicriteria Decision-Making (MCDM) framework to investigate risks to its successful implementation. The analysis results highlight that effectively managing economic, political, and geographic risks is crucial for the successful implementation of the project. Policy-makers, contractors and multiple stakeholders will benefit from this study’s depiction of the risks and their relative importance. Results can also inform actions toward sustainable development of the project.

Are China’s Investments in Africa Environmentally Sustainable? A Case Review of Three Projects in Kenya Mary W. Gititu, Cornelius M. Kyalo Abstract China is the second-largest economy in the world with an annual Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of about 6% as of 2019, thanks to the speedy economic growth. However, this has come along with environmental challenges attributed to the application of the „pollute first control later? policy. Being a global power, China?s environmental status has been of global concern and their advocacy for a green economy has been criticized. Here, we review the environmental implications of few Chinese-funded projects in Africa, with a key focus on Kenya?s three projects; Standard Gauge Railway (SGR), Lamu Port-South Sudan-Ethiopia-Transport (LAPSSET) and Lamu Coal Plant projects. Our findings show that in most instances, economic growth is prioritized over environmental protection. This has been capped in corruption, misinformation on environmental policies, deprived support towards environmental bureaus, resulting in poor policy implementation. Further, the absence of environmental regulations governing overseas investments, weak bureaucracies, and corruption in the host nations, has played part in environmental degradation. In order to confidently advocate for a green economy, China needs to be an example by investing and funding green projects and promoting sustainable development. The host nations also need to prioritize sustainable development and develop policies that will protect the environment. Full Text: PDF DOI: 10.15640/jirfp.v8n1a2

Sustainability Evaluation for Low-Cost Housing Projects With special reference to Khartoum State Fund for Housing and Development projects Z. E. Awad and Z. O. Gaafer Abstract Low- cost housing projects in developing countries can be considered a burden more than an investment for governments, housing projects should be more than a roof over head. It is a community and a source of social and economic development. Because of the lack of adequate assessment criteria for sustainable development in low-cost housing projects, a poor living environment and lack of public participation in neighborhood construction and development has occurred. This paper examines the main principles of urban sustainability that characterize “sustainable neighborhoods” to evaluate some of the low-cost housing projects in Sudan. The paper selects a set of urban parameters to assess the current situation of these projects in terms of urban morphology, housing typology, urban mobility, employment and income generation and sustainable building technologies. The paper recommended accessible locations for lowcost housing projects, and reserve land especially for that use, introduction of mixed land -use within the new projects and providing new housing types that may improve the neighborhoods environment. Ensure that there is a social mixture of inhabitant, encourage families to use part of their houses for other uses such as commercial to improve family income, keep inhabitants near their homes and make the neighborhood mixed-use. Connect housing with work and introduce new work sites such as farms and light industry near to remote housing projects and encourage provision Full Text: PDF DOI: 10.15640/jea.v4n2a11

The development objective of the Decentralized Health System Development Project for Sudan is to improve access to basic health services by conflict-affected and underserved populations in four target states while increasing the capacity of the decentralized health system to establish the basis for health sector reform, sustainable financing, and development. This is resettlement policy framework (RPF) document defines roles, responsibilities, procedures and compensation rates to guide the preparation of the individual Resettlement Action Plans (RAPs) during implementation for the subprojects that will cause involuntary displacement and mandatory land acquisition of land owned or used by individuals, families or other entities. The Sudanese legal requirements comply with the World Bank OP / BP 4.12 directives in the sense that both require fair compensation for the impacted persons and set procedures to resolve conflicts starting from the lowest level to the court of law. The RPF document includes arrangements for monitoring and responsibility of the project to conduct such monitoring in case of resettlement operation. Such monitoring must be participatory involving local leaders and representatives of the impacted persons. For smooth land acquisition and resettlement of project affected peoples (PAPs) the following are recommended : involve the local leadership particularly, Native Administration (Nazir, Omda, Sheikh) when selecting sites for public utilities; comply with customary land tenure regulations; pay attention to nomadic usufruct rights and avoid corridors set for the nomads; within government lands, consider right of use given to local communities; and finally, in deciding the market value of land, it is important to involve experienced persons to decide on the land value.

Protected areas in Egypt suffer from severe negligence with regards to sustainable development. One of the reasons is the absence of the role of the planner, designer and evaluator, capable of evaluating protected lands, and convincing its residents and responsible organisations to draw up sustainable development plans, using the economic and environmental values of the land. This is because the residents prefer the economic value of the land only, as it achieves quick revenue by selling or by destructive exploitation of the environment. Often, this leads to encroachment on the land and natural areas of the reserve. Consequently, it affects the environmental systems present through the loss of the natural resources that should be protected. Examples of this include the clear encroachment of touristic activities in Sharm el Sheikh on the lower border of the Nabaq Reserve, the presence of a large commercial mall in the city of Shalatin to trade with the Sudan, in the center of Elba Reserve, the exploitation of the Nile Islands Reserve with residents building on the land, in addition to the attempt by the Housing Ministry to sell parts of the Petrified Forest Reserve to residents.The aim of this research is to show methods of evaluating land in general, and to find a method for evaluating protected areas both environmentally and economically, by creating a theoretical framework for the main elements used to evaluate protected areas. This is done through examining the profits resulting from a sustainable system that includes environmental, economic, social, and urban views, as well as those related to planning in one general framework, that provides the steps that all evaluators should follow when evaluating protected lands.The study shall apply this system to the Petrified Forest Reserve in New Cairo in Egypt to determine the aspects of negligence and the problems, from which this area suffers; in addition, the principles of guidance are applied to prevent its deterioration in order to solve the problem of sustainability in this reserve.

S forest management has become the primary goal of forestry institutions worldwide, as it involves managing forests to achieve production of continuous flow of services without excessive reduction of their future productivity. In this paper a case study in semi arid forest (El Rawashda forest reserve, Gedaref State, Sudan) serves as a research. Multi-temporal Landsat ETM+ and Aster data acquired on early dry season dates in 2000 and 2006 have been used for classification and mapping land cover. Training data were selected in easily identifiable areas of the following four classes: Grassland, Close forest, Open forest and bare land. Following classification of imagery from the individual years, a postclassification, approach of subtracting the classification maps, 2000 and 2006, was applied. An advantage of the approach is that provides “from-to” change information. As part of our analysis we have compared area estimates from the Landsat classifications with aster classification. In our research, the potential to derive indicators of sustainable resource use from satellite remote sensing is discussed. Particular attention focuses on indicators related to land cover condition and type in semi-arid forest environments. This includes quantitative and qualitative assessment of forest cover change as well as the impacts of human and other biophysical factors on the forest. Each of these issues is discussed with emphasis placed on the potential to increase the level of information extraction beyond that derived with conventional approaches in order to more usefully inform sustainable development practices.

The environment is one important aspect that sustains man-kind. This sustenance stretches from food resources in the form of biological diversity, land for agriculture employment in terms of tourism, absorption of carbondioxide and exuding oxygen by green vegetation thus sustaining man kind. Despite this importance, the environment still remains the most abused by man in the form of pollution, deforestation, and attack on biological diversity to extinction. All this is done in a bid for human survival; to create land for settlement as a result of population expansion, industrialization, and hunting the different species for food purposes. Some of these activities have negatively impacted on the climate and led to global warming and its negative effects such as desertification. Whereas, it is true that climate change is a creation of affluent western countries and that Africa has contributed little to the build-up of greenhouse gases in the global atmosphere. As such, the West has a moral responsibility to Africa and other developing countries to make resources available to adapt to the predicted impacts of climate change. But African governments cannot afford simply to fold their arms. They should be part of a global campaign to see to it that this harm to the environment is dispensed with because of the global impact it has of which Africa too is affected. These effects have been a breeding ground for conflict over scarce resources arising from depletion of environmental resources as a result of environmental degradation. Using the Basic Human needs theory, this paper seeks to discuss environmental degradation as a cause of conflict in Darfur and the possible reasons for interference with the environment which, among others, is the quest for basic needs. This paper shall also analyse the different forms of environmental abuses, their impact to peace and sustainable development taking a case study of Darfur region of southern Sudan. Similarly the paper discusses the international intervention and different principles of environmental law and protection that have arisen to ensure sustainable development.

The Danakil Depression is located in Eritrea, a few kilometers inland from the Red Sea coast and sinks 120 meters below sea level. This concept paper attempts to explore Eritrea's ability to develop a hydroelectric and potable water generation capacity from the Red Sea. Unlike many countries with access to seas and oceans, Eritrea is endowed with a natural hydro dam because of its geographical location and topography. The Red Sea can be used as a resource for the production of energy as hydro dam and potable water source through desalination. The availability of cheap, clean and environmentally safe energy and water sources will enable the country to eliminate poverty and stop environmental degradation, thus contributing to reduce or minimize the global warming problem. Index Terms—Danakil-depression, economics, Eritrea, hydroelectric-power, red sea I. I NTRODUCTION Eritrea is a young nation, only 20 years old since it achieved its independence in 1993. It is located in the Horn of Africa, bordered in the north and west by Sudan, in the south by Ethiopia and Djibouti, and in the east by the Red Sea Fig. 1. It has an estimated population of about 5.9 million and a total land area of some 12.2 million hectares. Its annual population growth is estimated at 2.9 percent (1). Eritrea is a poor country and faces economical and environmental challenges. Both challenges lead to wide spread poverty for the population. The economic challenges relate to resource constraints to meet the national demand for commercial energy production and inadequate water resources needed for agriculture, mining manufacturing, or service industries (2). The environmental challenges stem from the global warming phenomenon, due to the expansion of the Sahara desert which causes frequent drought across the Sub-Saharan Sahel region. The economic challenge also contributes to wide spread deforestation and overgrazing for subsistence, exposing the barren land to water and wind erosions (3). Subsistence crop production and cattle keeping are the two most important economic activities in Eritrea (4). However, these traditional production methods and livestock populations used in much of the country contribute heavily to land degradation and soil erosion. Desertification due to overgrazing and soil erosion is common in many parts of the country. Energy requirements also put a lot of pressure on the

On 25 September, the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) adopted Resolution 70/1 carrying the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, including seventeen sustainable development goals and relevant targets. Goal 6 on ensuring availability and sustainable management of water and sanitation for all, sets, among others, a target to ‘[b]y 2030, implement integrated water resources management at all levels, including through transboundary cooperation as appropriate’ (Target 6.5, <http://www.un.org/ga/search/view_doc.asp?symbol=A/RES/70/1&Lang=E > (emphasis added)). In Khartoum on 23 March, Egypt, Ethiopia, and Sudan agreed on principles regarding the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam project. The ten agreed principles are cast in rather general terms and span the full spectrum of state practice in the matter of transboundary water resources co-operation. After agreeing to co-operate on the basis of common understanding, good faith, mutual benefit, sovereign equality, and territorial integrity, with a view to achieving optimal utilization and adequate protection of the River Nile (Principles I and IX), the three countries endorsed the principles of no significant harm and equitable and reasonable utilization. In particular, the no harm principle is cast as a due diligence obligation, with room for compensation should significant harm ensue (Principle III). The equitable and reasonable utilization principle is assorted with a detailed list of factors to be taken into account in arriving at equitable-sharing determinations (Principle IV). A dedicated principle is given over to the first filling, and subsequent annual operation, of the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam, which shall be decided in accordance with: the recommendations of an international panel of experts; the final report of the Technical National Committee; and subsequent studies, within an agreed fifteen-month timeline from the inception of two studies recommended by the panel. With a view to ensuring co-ordination in the annual operation of the dam with downstream reservoirs, the countries have directed their respective line ministries responsible for water resources to set up a co-ordination mechanism (Principle V). Downstream countries will have priority in the purchase of power generated by the dam (Principle VI). The three countries shall provide the data and information called for by the joint studies to be carried out under the aegis of the Technical National Committee (Principle VII). To ensure the safety of the dam, Ethiopia commits itself to observing the dam safety measures recommended by the international panel of experts (Principle VIII). Finally, the three countries commit to resolving disputes amicably, through good faith consultation and negotiation, failing which they will jointly resort to conciliation or mediation or refer the matter to the heads of state or government (Principle X).

North Rift region is found the larger northern Kenya region. Most of the region is dry and is a home to pastoralist communities like the Pokot, Turkana and the Marakwet. Since the colonial era, the region has been marginalized by the successive governments. In fact, for the period that the British colonialists ruled Kenya, the northern frontier was closed to the general public. Pastoralists who live in this region depend mainly on scarce natural resources like pasture, water, natural vegetation and livestock. As such, there is pressure among the communities in terms of sharing thus leading to wars over boundaries, traditional migratory routes, and traditional grazing grounds. Northern Rift also has a very long boundary line with Uganda, Sudan and Ethiopia-countries that have at one time or another been affected by internal strife in the last thirty years leading to proliferation of small arms into the region. The sub counties in the North Rift have been marginalized for a long time hence illiteracy rates are very high and transport and communication is very poor. Since no meaningful investment has been put in place, there are high rates of unemployment. The pastoralists are forced by circumstances to lead sedentary lives hence their livelihoods and their fragile environment have deteriorated greatly. It is against this background that this study aimed at establishing ways of sustaining peace and development in the North Rift region. The study adopted the use of primary and secondary data collection. Primary data collection methods included survey questionnaires, interviews, focus group discussions and participatory observation. The purposive sampling method was employed in determining key informant interview respondents and focus group discussion participants. However, for key informants, there was also a snow-balling sampling approach. In terms of analysis, this exercise incorporated elements of the Theory of Change-based evaluation approach. The evaluation exercise integrated conflict sensitive methodologies in the survey and analysis of findings. Hence, the inquiry included questions aimed at understanding contextual dynamics, as well as sets of questions seeking to measure the extent of realization of project goals. Since peace building programs are not insulated from conflict blindness, conflict sensitive lens specifically the Do No Harm/Local Capacities for Peace framework was used to examine the impact of the intervention on the conflict dynamics. The SPSS software was used to analyze quantitative data. It was established that conflict mitigating and peace initiatives that have been employed in the North Rift inter alia tracking and arresting of perpetrators of conflicts by the government, creation and activation of community security and vigilante groups, strengthening of elders courts to arbitrate over conflict cases, recovery of stolen animals, introduction of alternative livelihoods, use of traditional early warning systems, inter community peace dialogues, peace committees, and inter community common grazing patterns. Communities have collaborated with NGOs for peace initiatives, relief services and long term development initiatives aimed at sustainable alternative livelihoods. World Vision Kenya has been at the forefront in this regard through a five year peace project, meant to bring peace among the warring communities.

The East African Community (EAC) is an intergovernmental regional economic community comprising six Partner States, namely the Republics of Burundi, Kenya, Rwanda, Uganda, South Sudan and United Republic of Tanzania. These States are endowed with diverse natural resources. They also share some resources such as water sources and wildlife. The EAC came into existence upon signing of the Treaty for the Establishment of the East African Community in 1999. This Treaty provides for cooperation of the Partner States in all walks of life including management and sustainable utilization of natural resources and the environment. The EAC has in place a Protocol on management of the environment and utilization of natural resources (the Protocol). The Protocol requires integration of the policy, legal and institutional frameworks at both regional and municipal levels. This is because the linkage between regional law and municipal laws on environ-mental management and sustainable utilization of resources is critical to the sustainable conservation of resources. Further to this directive, each Partner State has made some effort to tailor its policies, laws and institutions to comply with the objectives of the EAC. Literature on the extent to which EAC laws have been implemented in Partner States with regard to the utilization of natural resources and environmental management as directed by the Protocol is scanty and difficult to come by. This chapter analyses the adequacy of the legislative initiatives that the EAC Partner States have taken to implement the clarion call by the EAC Treaty to coordinate their joint efforts in ensuring sustainable management of environment and natural resources in the region. The analysis does not cover all the five EAC Partner States. It has purposely been confined to Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania. This bias has been necessitated by a number of factors, including the historical evolution of the EAC and limitation of time and resources. Data for the study was obtained from field work in the select Partner States where interviews were conducted with key informants in Kampala, Nairobi, Dar es Salaam, Arusha and Dodoma. Respondents were asked about a wide range of issues. These included the extent to which domestic legislative and institu-tional regimes accommodate the EAC Community law in environment and natural resources management, and initiatives that have been put in place at the regional level to ensure implementation of the Protocol. They were also asked about factors they considered could impact on sustainable management and utilization of the environment and natural resources in EAC Partner States. A review of the available literature on the subject, including a critical analysis of the relevant policy, institutional and legislative frameworks was undertaken before the field workThe overall findings suggest that concerted efforts have been made by the selected EAC Partner States implementing the objectives of the Protocol. However, these initiatives have encountered diverse challenges which have been identified and discussed. Recommendations are put forward which have a bearing on opportunities for enhancing regional economic integration in general, and on how to overcome the challenges in the context of the EAC. It is hoped that the study will provide an impetus for more comprehensive studies covering the subject in all the five Partner States of the EAC.

The purpose of this research is to develop a model which examines the relationship between adapted dimensions of service quality scale and customer satisfaction and perceived price fairness, building on previous measurement instrument developed by (A. Parasuraman, Zeithaml, & Berry, 1988b). The research paper investigates the instrument at higher education in Syria. The planned methodology for the research employs a quantitative approach where the service quality instrument developed by (A. Parasuraman, Zeithaml, & Berry, 1988a) is employed in this research. The sample of the study follows a non-probability sampling approach. The unit of analysis in this research is undergraduate students of private universities in Syria. Online self-administered questionnaires were distributed to undergraduate students in 3 private universities in Syria. The adjusted instrument scale employed a 5 points Likert scale where 1 indicates strongly disagree and 5 strongly agree. The level of analysis investigates reliability and validity tests. Exploratory factor analysis (EFA) is employed to measure relationships between measured variables. The exploratory factor analysis produced three dimensions. Cronbach alpha test is employed to measure the internal consistency of the scale. The adapted service quality scale comprises of three dimensions namely institution task orientation, institution relationship orientation and institution tangibles orientation. The instrument consists of 12 items. The research recommends the measurement scale to be applied for service quality in Higher Education environment.

There is no doubt that the armed conflict is development in reverse that brings about a severe wastage of human capital and infrastructures. The ongoing violence over the last half a decade in Syria has caused serious economic devastation and a massive loss of properties, landlessness, and lack of clarity relating to ownership or use rights. Post-conflict reconstruction is essential as it assigns the future shape of the country, and it is mostly determined by the commitment and capacities of local populations, including national government and civil society, to maintain the process. Therefore, it is necessary to identify the challenges, obstacles, and issues inhibiting the approach of restoring and sustainably developing the current system. Building a potential cadastral system for post-conflict Syria requires practical contributions from all stakeholders to explore possible ideas that may come up with other procedures for solving many legal, political, and technical issues. The design of a clear strategic framework for modernizing cadastral infrastructure will provide more excellent social stability and expand the prospects for economic growth within post-conflict communities. The main objective of this research is to describe a proposed approach for a reconstruction process oriented towards building an electronic multipurpose cadastre in support of sustainable development from an international perspective in line with modern technology. The addressed model ensures unified real estate registration and simplifies the information interchange between agencies.

Coastal Areas Management Programme (CAMP) of the Mediterranean Action Plan (MAP) of the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) was initiated in 1988 in order to implement in selected locations the concept of integrated coastal and marine areas management (ICAM). Currently, seven CAMP projects are in different stages of implementation. The main objectives of CAMPs are to introduce or develop the process of integrated planning and management of Mediterranean coastal areas, and to contribute to a sustainable development and environmental protection. Based on the three completed CAMPs (Kastela Bay, Izmir Bay, and Syrian coast) and the fourth CAMP which is near completion (Rhodes Island), it can be concluded that the development and implementation of CAMPs in the framework of MAP is very successful and appreciated very much by the national and local institutions involved in their implementation.

This study will demonstrate the development of appropriate sustainable defensive strategies for the affected coastal areas due to climate change. Goals are to provide a basis for future planning strategies in accordance to the problem of Sea Level Rise (SLR) in the coastal cities. This study aimed at opening discussions concerning new ideas of protection strategies for the coastal cities. Analysis of the information collected for Possibilities of the Continental Shelf of Syrian coasts to create defensive islands able to grow in defense system according to the scenario (the attack for the defence); Recommendations based on the ECO-Land Requirements. The impact of climate change will result in catastrophic human consequences if action is not taken to address these concerns. Strategic urban planning can aide with the expected impacts from the climate changes moving forward. According to NASA reports formation of warm ocean currents will lead to accelerated melting of the Arctic ice resulting in sea level rise. This in turn affects human populations in the coastal cities for many of the world's regions for the past and current century.

Abstract. Syria is one of the Middle Eastern countries that suffer from scarcity in water resources availability, which affects the growth and development of economic activities. In this research, the Water Evaluation and Planning (WEAP) model is applied to evaluate future water demand in the Euphrates and Aleppo basin (EAB), Syria, by taking into account the climate change that may affect water demand in the domestic, industrial, and agricultural sectors until 2050. The climate change projections of temperature and precipitation were assessed using a new version of the MAGICC/SCENGEN tool with two greenhouse gas emissions scenarios (A2 and B2) of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). Based on the results of IPCC (A2, B2) scenarios projections, the EAB basin is likely to face a decrease in precipitation amount by 21 % according to A2 and by 12 % according to B2, while temperature would increase by about 2.5 °C according to A2 and by 2 °C according to B2. Within the three scenarios adopted in this research: (1) available technology development; (2) increasing treated wastewater in agriculture and industry sectors; (3) and two combined scenarios, the results of the simulation demonstrated that the proposed scenarios are effective for reducing stressors on EAB’s water resources, but are not sustainable to bridge the gap between demand-supply by the year 2050, which leads to the deterioration of the available water resources.

The migration crisis affecting Europe since the war in Syria began is the greatest challenge facing our continent since the Second World War. In the last three years, the number of applicants for international protection in Spain has grown exponentially. Our refugee system has been unable to scale up its supply at the same rate and 20,000 requests have accumulated without response. In addition, the EU has set up a mechanism to relocate 160,000 asylum seekers from Greece and Italy in the rest of the member states (hotspot approach). Of the 17,337 refugees Spain pledged to offer asylum before September 2017, only 744 have been received so far. This article analyzes the strategy the Spanish government has followed to increase the housing capacity of our refugee system. The main conclusion drawn from this case study is that the strategy of expanding supply based on outsourcing the refugee system via subsidies to NGOs is ineffective and, therefore, unsustainable. If the Spanish government wants to solve this problem it will have to launch a program to build new public refugee centers in the short to medium term. This article develops recommendations for the sustainable planning of this plan in the construction system (prefabrication) and in terms of the need to set minimum standards for the centers.

Abstract Most countries strive to reach effective sustainable development policies, given the repercussions of this policy on many aspects, such as the economic growth of countries. The adoption of policies of sustainability by developing countries may lead to their development faster than expected. This research aims to study the strategies applied in one of the universities of developing countries and the sustainability policies adopted at that university which is Damascus University. The study focuses on the time during last four years of the Syrian crisis through several factors, with a focus on the analysis based on the SciVal and Scopus databases and the strategies applied by the university itself. In this research, we use the method of extracting and analysing the data of the sixteen sustainable development goals (SDGs) of Damascus University within Scopus and SciVal. We also analyse the strategies used in the university in order to reach some of the determinants of SDGs. By analysing Scopus and SciVal data, we find that the third goal of SDGs is the most widespread in terms of scientific research in Damascus University. We find that the application of such policies led to an important goal in the environment, which is the ratio of green space in Damascus University reaching to more than 63 percent of the total flat area of the university. In addition, we find that the application of sustainable development policies led to the generation of energy from renewable sources by 11% of the total electrical energy consumed at the university. The university has been able to reach lots of indicators of the sustainable development goals and it remains apply others.

Abstract Achieving an effective sustainable developmental policy is considered a primary goal in a large number of institutions around the world. The application of this policy in universities is reflected throughout the country, especially in developing and low-income countries. This research aims to analyse the sustainability policies adopted at Damascus University during the past 5 years of the Syrian crisis through several factors, with a focus on the analysis based on the SciVal and Scopus databases. We consider Damascus University as an example of an institution of a developing country. We use the method of extracting and analysing the data of the 16 sustainable development goals (SDGs) of Damascus University within Scopus. Based on Scopus and SciVal data, we find that Damascus University made a significant leap in the number of its research related to sustainable development in the year 2022, as these research studies constituted 46.0% of all published, abstracted, and indexed research studies in Scopus by Damascus University researchers. Also, by analysing the citation data which the SDG documents have received, we find that the citations resulted from these documents represent about 53% of the total citation of the university during the same time.

Migration is transformative both for those who move and for the places and economies of source and destination. The global stock of migrants, depending on definition, is approximately 750 million people: to assume that the world is static and that migration is a problem to be managed is inaccurate. Since migration is a major driving force of planetary and population health, we argue that it must be more directly incorporated into planning for sustainable development, with a focus on the extent and way in which the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) incorporate the transformative reality of migration. The science of migration explains social and demographic dynamics, with human mobility as the norm rather than as a discrete event.1Heller M Urry J The new mobilities paradigm.Environ Plann A. 2006; 38: 207-226Crossref Scopus (3420) Google Scholar Flows of ideas, remittances, and social capital from migration, for example, play a central role in transforming economic as well as social and political life in places of origin and destination. Migration is, therefore, an intrinsic part of social transformation2De Haas H Migration and development: a theoretical perspective.Int Migr Rev. 2010; 44: 227-264Crossref PubMed Scopus (816) Google Scholar that occurs in parallel and in combination with other societal trends, including many that are the explicit focus of the SDGs. Migration processes can have positive and negative effects on social transformation.3Massey DS Social structure, household strategies, and the cumulative causation of migration.Popul Index. 1990; 56: 3-26Crossref PubMed Scopus (796) Google Scholar There are widespread concerns, for example, regarding the effect of rapid urbanisation driven by migration on the sustainable use of resources in cities. However, migrant populations have been shown throughout the world to be on average healthier and more economically active than host populations, at least with current migration patterns.4Hunter LM Simon DH Might climate change the “healthy migrant” effect?.Glob Environ Change. 2017; 47: 133-142Crossref PubMed Scopus (9) Google Scholar From an economic perspective, migration is often a driver of economic growth: whether economic growth is itself sustainable thus becomes the key question. The discourse of migration in the UN 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development reflects the global political tensions surrounding the issue of migration at the time of its negotiations, culminating in 2015, when many countries, particularly in Europe, experienced major influxes of refugees from Syria and other conflict-affected countries.5Nijenhuis G Leung M Rethinking migration in the 2030 Agenda: towards a de-territorialized conceptualization of development.Forum Dev Stud. 2017; 44: 51-68Crossref Scopus (19) Google Scholar, 6Holliday J Hennebry J Gammage S Achieving the sustainable development goals: surfacing the role for a gender analytic of migration.J Ethn Migr Stud. 2019; 45: 2551-2565Crossref Scopus (24) Google Scholar In effect, the 2030 Agenda frames migration as a temporary and unplanned phenomenon that needs to be managed, rather than as an inherent and longstanding part of sustainable development and social transformation. The table documents how sedentary framing of development leads to the relevant current goals, targets, and indicators within the SDGs.TableFraming of migration in the 2030 Agenda, with relevant goals, targets, and indicatorsTargets and indicatorsRelevant insights from migration scienceMigration as temporaryGoal 10: Reduced inequalitiesArticle 29: underlines the rights of migrants to return to their country of origin.Indicator 10.7.2: migration policies that facilitate “orderly, safe, regular and responsible migration and mobility of people”.

For example: i) movement to urban areas increases pressure on urban infrastructure and governance; ii) permanent displacement and relocation of populations from places at risk, including from small island developing states. Open table in a new tab Within the SDGs, migration is recognised as a “multidimensional reality” that is of “major relevance for the development of countries of origin, transit and destination” (2030 Agenda, article 29). Migrants are acknowledged as able to make a “positive contribution” to inclusive growth (article 29), but the SDGs seem to refer mostly to benefits in the country of origin in the form of remittances from international labour migrants. Remittances, indeed, play a crucial economic role in countries with high international outmigration, but with significant social consequences such as so-called brain drain effects. Overall, the 2030 Agenda, and specifically the SDGs on sustainable cities and climate action, have a static concept of human populations, de-emphasising permanent and temporary migration as a key aspect of sustainable development, climate resilience, and social transformation. Where migration is considered to “threaten to reverse much of the development progress”, the 2030 Agenda focuses on the “eradication” of human trafficking (article 27, and targets 5.2, 8.7, and 16.2), as well as “temporary” stays of forcibly displaced people (indicator 10.7.2). Such a framing of climate migration fails to consider migration as a long-term contribution to climate resilience and adaptation.7Gemenne F Blocher J How can migration serve adaptation to climate change? Challenges to fleshing out a policy ideal.Geogr J. 2017; 183: 336-347Crossref Scopus (76) Google Scholar Incorporating realistic scientific insights on migration and mobility would, we suggest, identify the conditions under which migration could contribute to positive outcomes for many arenas of sustainability, from disaster preparedness, to health and nutrition, and to safe and sustainable cities. SDG 11 seeks to promote safe, sustainable, and resilient cities, for example, but its indicators need to reflect the reality of how urbanisation is driven by population movement to cities. A target of SDG 11 is to minimise the “proportion of urban population living in slums, informal settlements or inadequate housing”. However, the persistence of slum areas is driven by continued movement of new migrants to cities. In many cities in developing countries, more than half of residents are lifetime migrants. Migrant populations cluster in areas that are exposed to environmental hazards and have been shown to have uneven access to public health and other services and discriminated in labour markets.8Black R Bennett SR Thomas SM Beddington JR Climate change: Migration as adaptation.Nature. 2011; 478: 447-448Crossref PubMed Scopus (528) Google Scholar Therefore, the realisation of urban sustainability is intimately tied to the effectiveness and rapidity of integration of new populations into urban planning. SDG 13 on climate action does not make an explicit connection between nations most vulnerable to climate change and increased migration flows, and thus underplays the opportunity to protect or acknowledge the adaptive role played by mobile populations. More than 25 million people per year are displaced internally or internationally by weather-related disasters. Involuntary and forced migration, not least through climate change, represents a breach of rights and is likely to have significant detrimental health outcomes.9McMichael C Barnett J McMichael AJ An ill wind? Climate change, migration, and health.Environ Health Perspect. 2012; 120: 646-654Crossref PubMed Scopus (170) Google Scholar, 10Levy BS Patz JA Climate change, human rights, and social justice.Ann Glob Health. 2015; 81: 310-322Crossref PubMed Scopus (181) Google Scholar It has been shown in diverse settings that migrants contribute by filling key skill gaps, increase the consumption and production of goods and services, and improve local labour market efficiency, particularly in times of crisis or disaster. Migrants also support the resilience and wellbeing of origin communities through financial and social remittances. Rather than harnessing the potential of such interactions, the state-oriented nature of the targets and current indicators associated with SDG 13 implicitly sidesteps migration. Incorporating the potentially social transformative nature of migration into policy and planning for sustainable development would better reflect the reality of a mobile world. A more encompassing view of migration would, we argue, lead to more appropriate targets and indicators for the SDGs. For example, target indicators could, for SDG 11 on urban areas, include the number of migrants entering informal economic sectors: such migration is most often associated with discrimination and precarity in cities. Additionally, SDG 13 on climate action could monitor regulations across countries for government-led relocation of communities (such relocation is likely to become more widespread into the future). A comprehensive set of targets and indicators would present better opportunities to deal with pressing challenges of social transformations, including ageing populations and declining birth rates in many countries. In summary, the SDGs need to move beyond the implicit assumption that sedentary lives are the norm and that it is only safe, orderly, and regular migration that contributes to sustainable development. We suggest that, when migration is incorporated as an inherent and continuing part of social transformations, it will become central to long-term climate resilience and adaptation.

The paper explores conditions and possibilities for innovation activity in the field of architecture of Syrian hotels. A concept of “innovation” applied to architectural activity has been analyzed in the paper. Hitherto there is no unequivocal interpretation of effects due to innovation activity not only in respect of hotel architecture but also in respect of architecture as a whole and it concerns urban planning, climatic and socioeconomic conditions of Syria. Factors determining innovative development represent natural, industrial, scientific and technical, technological and other resources. An effort to avoid outof-date design solutions, requirements in development and growth of economic and social living standards can be considered as a driving force for qualitative development of hotel architecture in the resort areas of Syria. Prior to outbreak hostilities in the country the economic and social living standards have been achieved commonly due to high tourist activity. Naturalclimatic and historical potential of Syria contribute to an increase of tourist flows and quantitative composition of hotels. So the purpose of the paper is to reveal the possibilities for qualitative development of new architecture in respect of resort hotels, as the most required hotels by tourists in Syria. It is an obvious fact that architecture of hotels should not only reflect traditions and culture of the region, but it must be also technically modern in order to satisfy a global principle of sustainable development.

Tourism is an important field of industry that helps create a large number of job opportunities in many fields that contribute to economic development and increase personal and national incomes. However, when tourism is planned irregularly and without discipline, it negatively affects the environment and natural resources by threatening the environmental resources of future generations. Therefore, we need sustainable tourism development to strike a balance between economic growth on the one hand and the protection of environmental resources and social values on the other. This study aimed to investigate the conditions of sustainable tourism planning. In line with this goal, a picture of the physical potential of the region was created by using the literature data on sustainable tourism, environmental analysis of the Syrian coastal region, on-site observation and mapping method, and qualitative research techniques. Suggestions are put forward in line with the findings that are presented in the created table. We believe that the study will make a positive contribution to the literature to ensure sustainable tourism development on the Syrian coast in terms of urban, environmental, social, and global aspects. Keywords: sustainable development, sustainable tourism, the Syrian Coast

What is the relationship between the institutional context and the process of civil society participation? What are the mechanisms of civil society participation used in urban development decision-making in Syria, and what form of civil society participation is most likely to be efficient to deliver sustainable development? Civil Society Participation in Urban Development in Syria critically examines urban planning as a form of governance, considering it a process where decisions are taken on urban land use, analysing the possibilities for wider participation of civil society in this process in order to promote potential sustainable outcomes in Syria during the years 2005 – 2010. The empirical analysis in this book highlights the shortcomings of the international empowering policies, where the fact that structures of power are multi-layered, multi-related and due to change from one context to another is ignored. Enabling civil society participation is a political matter where a proactive approach is needed rather than a normative internationally accepted one developed in isolation from the given political and institutional urban development context.

The university campus built in the desert and semi-desert zone in countries with a hot climate is becoming important not only for the sustainable urban development of the region, but also for solving global problems associated with climate change and reducing carbon footprint. The article discusses the history of the creation of the campus of the private Kalamoon University in Syria, which shows how the university has an impact on the urban development of the city of Deir Atiyah and the surrounding areas. Against the backdrop of a difficult geopolitical situation, the Kalamoon University Campus has become an “oasis in the desert” and currently represents a modern university architectural and landscape complex with a comfortable and accessible environment, which is an example of effective development of territories in a hot climate, as well as one of the “anchor elements” of the urban planning system of the Al-Kalamoon region.

يمر العالم اليوم بموجة من التغييرات والتطورات المتسارعة في شتى مجالات الحياة السياسية والاقتصادية والاجتماعية والثقافية , ويعود ذلك على التقدم الهائل في تكنولوجيا المعلومات والاتصالات التي جعلت من العالم قرية واحدة الأمر الذي يؤدي إلى تغييرقواعد التنافسية الدولية . وسورية التي تعتبر جزء هاما من هذا العالم بحكم موقعها الجيو استراتيجي , تؤثر وتتاثر بما يحدث في هذا العالم ,وبالتالي يحتم عليها زيادة قدراتها التنافسية. ويشكل البحث العلمي والتطوير مرتكزا أساسيا للتنافسية و مطلبا هاما للتنمية لأنه يعمل على تغيير ملامح المؤسسات الإنتاجية السورية ويساعدها على الارتقاء إلى المستوى المرموق . فالاستثمار في البحث والتطوير سيؤدي عموما إلى تحسين الناتج المحلي الإجمالي. وتتأتي ضرورة الاستثمار في البحث والتطوير من واقع أن أي اقتصاد مستدام هو اقتصاد مبني على المعرفة وذلك في كل القطاعات. ويتطلب هذا الأمر تعبئة جميع الفاعلين المعنيين، بدءا من الحكومة ومرورا بالمنظمات غير الحكومية والقطاع الخاص والمنظمات الدولية والإقليمية ومجتمع العلوم والتقانة وانتهاءا بوسائل الإعلام. The world is undergoing today a wave of changes and rapid developments in various areas: political, economic, social and cultural. This is due to the tremendous progress in information and communication technology that turned the world into one village. This, in turn, leads to a transformation in international competitiveness rules. Syria, which is an important part of this world by virtue of its geo-strategic location, affects and is affected by what happens in this world. Thus, it is necessary for this country to increase its capabilities of competitiveness. Research and development are a major anchor of competitiveness and an important requirement for growth because they work to change the features of Syrian productive enterprises and help them to upgrade to a prestigious level. Investing in research and development will generally improve the GDP. The need to invest in research and development is derived from the fact that a sustainable economy is an economy based on knowledge, in all sectors. This requires the mobilization of all active entities concerned, including the government, NGOs, the private sector, international and regional organizations, the of science and technology community and the media.

أصبحت التنافسية اليوم واحدة من أهم استراتيجيات التنمية المكانية؛ باعتبارها أداة من أدوات التنمية الإقليمية ذات تأثير مكاني مباشر وسريع على التنمية الاقتصادية والاجتماعية وحتى البيئية، وتبذل الدول ما بوسعها على مستوى عالمي أو حتى على مستوى إقليمي داخلي بأن ترتقي بسوية تنافسيتها وتحسن مستوى شعوبها، ولكن تلك الأداة غير كافية؛ إذ يجب أن تترافق مع أدوات وآليات أخرى ومن ضمنها مجموعة من السياسات التي تدعم التنافسية بين الأقاليم من خلال استثمار مواردها وإمكانياتها الموجودة بشكل حضاري مستدام. وفي ضوء ما سبق؛ يدرس البحث موضوع التنافسية من وجهة نظر عمرانية تخطيطية، ويحلل عواملها المختلفة وارتباطها بموضوع التنمية المستدامة، كما يدرس البحث ويحلل مؤشرات التنافسية الحضرية التي تتبعها الدول العالمية التي تحوي المدن والأقاليم الأكثر تنافسية، ويتوصل إلى مجموعة مؤشرات خاصة يمكن أن تطبق في المدن والأقاليم العربية ومن ضمنها أقاليم الجمهورية العربية السورية بما تشمله من محافظات بشكل يجعلها تندمج مع التطور العالمي، وفي النهاية يضع البحث مجموعة من السياسات القادرة على تحسين تنافسية الأقاليم والمحافظات السورية وتحقيق تنمية محلية ووطنية مستدامة. Competitiveness nowadays becomes one of the most important strategies for spatial development, and it is considered as a tool of quick and direct regional development impact on the economic, social and environmental development. According to that, states do what they can on a global level or even on a regional level in order to elevate the development level for its cities and improve the Standards of living for their people too. But this tool is not sufficient by itself; it should be accompanied by other instruments such as setting and applying a group of policies that can support the resources and potentials of the regions in a sustainable civilized Way. This research examines the subject of competitiveness from the perspective of urban planning and analyzes the different factors of Competitiveness and its relates to the sustainable development. The research also examines and analyzes the urban competitiveness indicators pursued by the global countries, in order to reach a group of specific indicators that can be applied in Syrian Provinces. Finally; the research puts a set of policies capable of improving the competitiveness of Syrian regions and provinces to improve the competitiveness level of the provinces and achieve a well local and national sustainable development.

The restoration of the territories of Syria, destroyed as a result of the crisis and the war of 2011, determines the need to develop proposals for territorial planning as the basis for the implementation of urban development activities in the regions. Based on the systematization of the processes occurring in the "Region" system, proposals were formulated for the territorial planning of the Desert Region of the SAR, which has a significant territorial resource. Based on the concept of sustainable development, the expediency of developing the energy industry based on renewable energy sources of the sun and wind as biospherically compatible, having a lower impact on the environment in comparison with power plants operating on other types of fuel (coal, oil, gas) is shown. Approximate estimates of the theoretical potential of solar and wind energy on the territory of the Desert Region are given, based on data from the Global sun Atlas and Global Wind Atlas. The determination of territories promising for the placement of wind and solar power plants was carried out taking into account the existing land use by sequentially excluding already occupied sites using Openmaps software. Proposals for the territorial planning of the Desert region are formulated, justifying the location of new energy facilities in the region, ensuring economic growth and allowing a balanced use of natural potential.

Homs city is Syria is one of them, it has a history dates back to 2000B.C. with a unique formation of the city. However, the urban area of Homs has a very distinctive characteristics, but unfortunately it suffers from the transportation system operated. The congested and unorganized planning process have led the city to a complete mess and disorders, for all categories of its inhabitants. This study analysis the components of the transportation system, and identifies the greatest issues and problems the inhabitants suffer from, by locating the driving forces and the causes of these issues, and generally asses the quality of the system itself. Therefore, a holistic approach is proposed to improve the transportation system, and suggests some key plans to shift the city to a higher level of development. By locating the strength points, and detect the benefits of these strength points and exploit them. By evaluating the road network and create a new system that mitigates the negative environmental impacts (emissions, noise…) and reduce the crowded gathering of inhabitants, which caused a severe stress in their daily life. Overall, an attempt of implementing a new transportation system to contribute in the development process, and opens the possibility to develop other systems of the city in a sustainable framework..

Cities in the north middle east are known for their past and old valuable heritage, with a complex master plan of each one. Homs city is Syria is one of them, it has a history dates back to 2000B.C. with a unique formation of the city. However, the urban area of Homs has a very distinctive characteristics, but unfortunately it suffers from the transportation system operated. The congested and unorganized planning process have led the city to a complete mess and disorders, for all categories of its inhabitants. This study analysis the components of the transportation system, and identifies the greatest issues and problems the inhabitants suffer from, by locating the driving forces and the causes of these issues, and generally asses the quality of the system itself. Therefore, a holistic approach is proposed to improve the transportation system, and suggests some key plans to shift the city to a higher level of development. By locating the strength points, and detect the benefits of these strength points and exploit them. By evaluating the road network and create a new system that mitigates the negative environmental impacts (emissions, noise…) and reduce the crowded gathering of inhabitants, which caused a severe stress in their daily life. Overall, an attempt of implementing a new transportation system to contribute in the development process, and opens the possibility to develop other systems of the city in a sustainable framework..

It is essential to conduct a logical investigation of the socio-economic space and improv planning approaches according to the location potentials to achieving development sustainability. This paper focuses on regional innovation models "RIMs" and spatial development initiatives "SDI". The goal is to establish a spatial structural model by adopting a strategic cluster structures and spatial development networks approach to localize the urban-rural sustainable development in the Syrian coastal region. The research uses a mixed-methods approach. Both qualitative and quantitative techniques are utilized to analyze the available data and information. A survey was conducted on a specific sample of respondents, including experts, academic researchers, and decision-makers, to gather opinions on the keys/problems of regional development and the pattern of urban-rural spatial development. Survey results and the geospatial characteristics of the region led to proposing the missing regional links at the macro-level for clusters to overcome limitations and reap opportunities beyond their spatial reach. At the meso-level, geographic units "river basins" provide a spatial incubator for the conceptual urban-rural structural map based on a spatial cluster development networks scenario. Therefore, an ArcGIS software analysis with a multi-tier classification of the developmental advantages was used to identify high value-adding productive/effective clusters. Then, a scale-up/out process was adopted to transfer lessons learned to adjacent sub-regions by formulating a guiding regional spatial vision. Results indicated that the conceptual spatial structure maps could be helpful to decision-makers in forming a support system for regional planning assets efficiency to steer the urban-rural sustainable development and establish regional growth engines with national dimensions.

3. Mr. Paul Mifsud, Coordinator of the UNEP/MAP, addressed the meeting. He noted that in Portoroz the MSSD was adopted last November. The major challenge lies in implementation of the strategy. The strategy outlines the main needs and objectives. It works at all, but especially the national, level. It is up to countries to set up their own activities at their own pace. Each country has the primary responsibility for its own SD. MAP’s job is to assist countries to develop their strategies. Egypt, Morocco, S&M and Syria are developing their national strategies with financial support from donor countries. Regional and sub-regional initiatives are also important. 1996 meeting set up the Mediterranean Commission for Sustainable Development. Subregional processes such as Adriatic Initiative are welcome, and Slovenia should be commended. Slovenia is expected to play a major role in the application of the ecosystem approach. The Adriatic will be a good test case for this. EEA and UNEP/MAP have done a survey. MSSD can facilitate implementation of Horizon 2020, launched November at EU Summit in Barcelona. Partners agreed to develop a roadmap for de-polluting the Mediterranean by 2020. The EC is preparing it for endorsement in Cairo in November. EC and Euromed should take advantage of reputation and capacities of MAP. They should work together. Slovenia’s leadership is recognized and MAP will ensure support of southern Med countries. 4. Mr. Bricelj presented the reasons for a sub-regional approach in the Adriatic. He outlined the threats to the Adriatic and provided scientific evidence. The mouth of the Po River is especially sensitive. Indicators are serious and urge us to change our behavior. Family of Adriatic countries proposed Contingency Plan, CAMP

ركز البحث على مفهوم التربية من أجل التنمية المستدامة، ودور المنظمات غير الحكومية في تحقيقها، كونها عنصرا فاعلا في دفع جهود عملية التنمية الشاملة، وهدف البحث إلى معرفة مدى تحقيق أهداف التربية من أجل التنمية المستدامة في برامج المنظمات غير الحكومية في محافظة اللاذقية، ولتحقيق هدف البحث قامت الباحثة بتصميم استبانة تضمنت(34)عبارة موجهة للمستفيدين، وهي مؤلفة من أبعاد التنمية المستدامة الثلاث(الاقتصادية، الاجتماعية، البيئية)، وكل بعد تضمن مجالين(التوعية والتعليم، التأهيل والتدريب)، وتم التأكد من صدقها وثباتها ومن ثم تطبيقها على عينة مؤلفة من(150) مستفيدا ومستفيدة، وشملت عينة البحث ثلاث منظمات من المنظمات غير الحكومية في اللاذقية، و قد أظهرت نتائج البحث وجود فروق ذات دلالة إحصائية عند مستوى الدلالة(0,05) بين متوسط درجات المستفيدين من المنظمات غير الحكومية تبعا لمتغير(المنظمة والتحصيل العلمي)، وتبين عدم وجود فروق ذات دلالة إحصائية بين متوسط درجات المستفيدين بالنسبة لمتغير العمر، وخلص البحث إلى وجود فروق ذات دلالة إحصائية بين متوسط إجابات المستفيدين في أبعاد التنمية المستدامة(الاقتصادية، الاجتماعية) تبعا للمجالات التربوية للتنمية المستدامة(التوعية والتعليم، التأهيل والتدريب). كما توصل إلى أنه لا يوجد فروق ذات دلالة إحصائية بين متوسط إجابات المستفيدين في البعد البيئي للتنمية المستدامة تبعا للمجالات التربوية (التوعية والتعليم، والتأهيل والتدريب). ويؤكد البحث أن المنظمات غير الحكومية تحقق بعض الحاجات التربوية للمستفيدين, منها: مجال التوعية والتعليم و التدريب والتأهيل، لتحقيق أهداف التنمية المستدامة، و أبرز هذا البحث دور التربية في تحقيق أهداف التنمية المستدامة من خلال برامج المنظمات السورية غير الحكومية التي تهتم بمجالات التوعية والتعليم، والتأهيل والتدريب للمستفيدين. Being an essential factor in advancing the comprehensive development process, one goal this research focuses on the concept of Education for sustainable development and the role of Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) in achieving it. The other goal of research is to investigate the extent to which these objectives of education for sustainable development are realized in the programs of Non-Governmental Organizations in Lattakia. To achieve the goals of this research, the researcher designs a questionnaire composed of 34 items addressed to NGO beneficiaries. These items have the three dimensions of sustainable development (economic, social, and environmental), and each dimension contains two components (awareness and education, rehabilitation and training). Questionnaires are checked for consistency and reliability, then applied to a sample composed of 150 NGO beneficiaries (male or female). Also, this sample includes three NGOs from Lattakia. The results obtained show significant differences (P =0.05) between the average scores of NGO beneficiaries for the two variables, NGOs and educational attainment. However, no significant differences are detected between NGO beneficiaries' average scores for the age variable. This research concludes that there are significant differences between the average response of NGO beneficiaries in the sustainable development dimensions (economic, social), depending on the areas of education for sustainable development (awareness and education, rehabilitation, and training). We have also found that there are no significant differences between beneficiaries' average responses in the environmental dimension of sustainable development according to the areas of education (awareness and education, rehabilitation and training).

US President Joe Biden last week hailed the success of a UN General Assembly vote not to recognise Russia's recent appropriation of four regions of Ukraine. He suggested the decision sent a “clear message” to Moscow. 143 member states did, indeed, vote to condemn this “attempted illegal annexation” of Donetsk, Kherson, Luhansk, and Zaporizhzhia. A sizeable majority, to be sure. But look at those nations that did not vote against Russia. Syria, Nicaragua, North Korea, and Belarus, unsurprisingly. More importantly, the abstentions. China. India. Much of Africa (including South Africa, Nigeria, Tanzania, Uganda, and Ethiopia). Parts of Latin America (Bolivia and Cuba), southeast Asia (Thailand and Pakistan), and Central Asia (Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan). While it is true that most nations turned against Russia, in terms of population more than half the world did not. Politicians have divided people into almost exactly equal and opposite groups. Have we ever been more disunited? Meanwhile, experts seriously weigh the relative outcomes of a tactical as against a strategic nuclear war in Ukraine. Europe is facing an economic challenge that will scar countries for a generation. And these immediate threats are taking place in the shadow of intensified, not diminished, fossil fuel exploration and extraction. Political conditions are little better. Authoritarian regimes are tightening their grip—suppressing freedoms, repressing minorities, and violently putting down protests. Democracies feel fragile, brittle, uncertain how to respond.Yet good work continues. Founded in 1988 by Professor Sir Eldryd Parry, the Tropical Health and Education Trust (THET) is a charity dedicated to the vision of a world where everyone, everywhere, has access to quality health care. THET believes that by educating and training health workers in low-income and middle-income countries, in partnership with volunteers across the UK medical community, progress can be made. THET works in ten countries in Africa and Asia. Led by Chief Executive Officer Ben Simms, the charity argues that volunteering for global health activities is an important path to improved wellbeing (when as many as one in five doctors are considering leaving the profession). THET's work is a revelation. Health is not a product dispensed by donors or drug companies. Health is a quality created within communities. THET embeds itself in those communities, forming virtuous collaborations that change the trajectory of people's lives. One example from THET's annual conference last week: Gaunima Manandhar, a nurse and field researcher in Nepal, who described her work in the national kidney centre and the challenges she faced during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The paper explores the outcomes of Russian Federation G20 Presidency in 2013. The analysis is based on the model of balancing external conditions and national priorities for developing an agenda in informal institutions (supply-demand model). This analytical paradigm allows to reveal to what extent the Presidency has managed to ensure: 1) a high level of response to the key global governance challenges in the agenda and summit decisions; 2) a balance between national and other members’ interests in the Presidency priorities; 3) utilizing the institution’s capabilities; 4) conformity of the role chosen by the Presidency (organizer, mediator, political leader, national representative) to the combination of external and internal conditions.Russia took over the responsibility for coordinating the G20 work from Mexico, accepting the rotating presidency of this premier forum for economic cooperation on December 1, 2012. The G20 met the fifth year of its work under conditions of a two speed recovery which by March 2013 transformed into a three speed recovery. Unsteady and sluggish growth, persisting imbalances and downside global economy risks demanded that this forum of the world largest economies concentrate the efforts on developing a set of measures aimed at boosting sustainable, inclusive and balanced growth and jobs creation around the world. These priorities constituted the core of the Russian G20 presidency concept, aimed at ensuring sustainable global growth and rebuilding of trust between the world economy different agents in accordance with the G20 mission and capability.Consolidating efforts on its core economic and financial priorities, the G20 also launched collaboration to overcome such risks as increasing income disparities, chronic underinvestment into development of safe, secure and modern infrastructure, unforeseen consequences of regulation.The analysis findings reveal that the Russian presidency managed to ensure a good balance of national interests and the partners’ priorities in the G20 agenda; utilizing the G20 capabilities to respond to the key global governance challenges. The choice of the presidency role depended on the nature of the issues and was defined by a combination of internal and external conditions. Thus, the acuteness of the problem for all summit participants determined demand for leadership in including into the economic forum agenda the debate on a peaceful resolution of the conflict in Syria. On employment and social policies the Russian presidency combining the roles of an organizer and a political leader helped upgrade the G20 dialogue to a new quality level.A major success factor in deliberation and adoption of the comprehensive action plan on base erosion and profit shifting was the OECD capability to take responsibility for the plan development. With the OECD leadership, solid experts’ foundation, and a high level of relevance of the problem for all members, the presidency supported the process as the organizer.On the topic of stimulating long-term investment, a priority for Russia as well as most of the G20 partners, the presidency managed to consolidate the efforts of several international institutions over a short period. On this priority, as well as on the financial regulation reform, the presidency acted as a representative of the national interests and an organizer. In developing the new development strategy the choice in favor of a combination of a mediator and an organizer proved most productive. As a result the G20 agreed a new cooperation for development outlook.The presidency active collaboration with the international organizations and engagement with social partners was instrumental in harnessing their experts’ potential and enhancing the G20 transparency, legitimacy and effectiveness. The G20 institutions consolidation continued through development of new coordination mechanisms and strengthening accountability.Under the Russian presidency the G20 reaffirmed its value as the premier economic cooperation forum. Emphasizing restoring strong and inclusive growth and employment while ensuring fiscal sustainability, the leaders for the first time in the history of the G20 stressed that the well-being of individual people should be at the center of the growth agenda. This consequential outcome of the five years collaboration might be a start of a new G20 agenda where inclusiveness is one of the pillars of growth.The research was carried out with financial support of Russian Humanities Research Foundation within the framework of a research project Elaborating a Supply – Demand Model to Balance External Demand and National Priorities in the Presidency Proposals for Agenda in G20, G8 and BRICS, project №12-03-00563.

As part of its Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), China is increasingly investing abroad and has become an important country for development financing. Many commentators have expressed concern that the country is defying the Western path of sustainable development guided by the rule of law and good governance standards. Yet, studies of the real existing articulation of the BRI are lacking. Through a comparative case study of Chinese loans for infrastructure in East Africa (the Standard Gauge Railroad in Kenya and the Ethiopia-Djibouti railroad), this article offers a consolidated and more systematic assessment of what kind of governance China is in fact practicing through the BRI and the reasons behind what I argue to be its ‘adaptive governance’ approach. Specifically, it examines the attitude of Chinese state-owned enterprises (SOEs) toward corporate social responsibility (CRS) in light of the regulatory frameworks of the Chinese central government and host governments. Through a combination of document analysis and in-depth interviews with relevant stakeholders, this paper compares the railroads China has financed and built in Kenya and Ethiopia as part of the BRI with a focus on CRS and their economic, social, and environmental impacts. It argues that the reason for the differing CRS in the two case studies is that China is not forcing upon host countries any specific type of governance, because its approach is above all adaptive and conforms with its core principles of sovereignty and non-interference. Such an approach, however, has generated several negative externalities that may reinforce poor governance standards and ultimately undermine the sustainability and developmental outcomes of the BRI. By looking at concrete cases from the ground, this article sheds new light on China’s emerging development paradigm along the BRI and addresses some of the concerns related to China’s rise as a great power.

The issues of forced displacement and energy for sustainable development are convergent: an estimated 90% of displaced people globally have no access to electricity, while 85% of refugees are hosted in developing countries. However, few tools to plan and design sustainable energy access interventions have been transposed to displacement settings. This paper presents a novel framework for the holistic planning of energy projects which considers both sustainability aspects and the specificities of displacement settings. The framework is the result of a review of literature which aimed to define a “sustainable energy intervention” in displacement contexts and an assessment of relevant planning tools against this definition. The framework includes the use of an energy delivery model toolkit, an inclusive design approach, an assessment of the desired impacts, energy system modelling, business model design, and an assessment of economic viability. We apply the framework in the design of a solar mini grid of Holl Holl refugee camp in Djibouti, in which a sustainable intervention and business model are proposed that could be compatible with the local conditions. We highlight issues that arise from the humanitarian sector status quo and propose that this framework could help to enhance sustainable energy practices in the humanitarian and development sectors.

Abstract During the process of design and construction of water management facilities and structures, such as reservoirs, dams, spillways, water intakes, etc., it is important to pay attention to the specific conditions of a particular country. Since the rapprochement among Eritrea, Ethiopia and Djibouti in 2018, the geopolitical dynamics of the region has changed to a different level. These regional changes will significantly contribute to the development of extractive and processing industries, agriculture, trade, construction and tourism in Eritrea. However, all these developments unquestionably require sustainable and efficient water use, intensive development of water management and water technologies, among others. Based on the specific conditions of Eritrea, identification of existing main trends in the design and construction of water management facilities and structures followed by formulation of practical recommendations and future directions has been the focus of this study. Reliable and relevant information has been processed and analysed using general scientific research methods, including generalization and analysis, synthesis and analogy, historical and hypothetical methods of cognition. This paper comprehended that the design, construction and operation of water management structures should consider the predominantly hot climatic condition of the country, while observing the main development trends in the field. These activities help in ensuring reliable and trouble-free operation of hydraulic structures, using modern and progressive achievements of hydraulic engineering science and global practice in the field of dam engineering and construction of culverts taking into account environmental requirements and norms, and using modern high-performance mechanisms and methods of production of hydraulic works. Moreover, the hydrological and water management conditions of Eritrea are characterized by limited water resources, poor knowledge of water bodies, and lack of reliable hydrological, meteorological and geological information. Under these circumstances, it would be necessary to use mathematical modelling for understanding and forecasting hydrological processes in river basins.

Iran is rich in energy resources and oil has dominated the politico-socio-economic life of this country, but nevertheless Iran has no documented policy and vision for its massive resources. This poses a major challenge to policy makers and the society. It is necessary to have a clear picture of Iran׳s energy status in recent years showing the flow of energy supply, demand, consumption, import and export to know how the energy situation in Iran is and identify its weaknesses and strengths. This paper is the first step in that direction and presents an overview of Iran energy situation and the potential and current state of renewable energy application. The status of energy in Iran is compared to world’s energy status via five key factors, and finally this comparison shows hints for designing roadmap of energy for Iran to attain sustainable and secure energy in long term. The novel contribution of this work is the STEEP analysis of Iran energy situation for designing the long-term supporting mechanisms for sustainable and secure energy for Iran based on Social (S), Technological (T), Economical (E), Environmental (E) and Political (P) criteria.

Supplier selection as a multi-criteria decision-making problem that highly depends on the decision makers’ vision has a major issue among supply chain (SC) managers. SC sustainability, which pays attention to the environmental, economic, and social aspects in SC, has been recently highlighted in the evaluation process undergone by the SC managers. Suppliers, as the basic components of the SC, play a significant role in creating a sustainable SC. Hence, the first aim of this research is to determine the weights of sustainability criteria by using analytical hierarchy process. The second aim of this study is to evaluate suppliers based on four main criteria, CO2 emissions, the number of employees in the suppliers’ country industry, water consumption and distance from supplier's country to the destination at three SC levels and the macroeconomic (international) level. In order to address the second goal of this research, the Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) method as a multi-criteria decision-making method has been applied. In this research, Iran's steel industry has been selected as the case study. Results show that the Iranian mining industry is the best sustainable supplier for Iran's steel industry. In addition, Iran was found as the best sustainable supplier country for most suppliers in Iran's steel industry SC based on the three SC sustainability criteria at three levels. Finally, a sensitivity analysis has been applied according to the different weights of the sustainability criteria. The results of this research can help managers in the steel industry to deal with the supplier selection problem at the macro-level. Furthermore, the presented approach in this research can assist managers of other industries to select and evaluate their suppliers.

Iran's energy system is extremely dependent on fossil fuels which, in turn, have led to problems such as fossil fuels depletion, social, economic and environmental damage and territorial imbalance. The country should therefore design a sustainable energy system based on clean energy a s well as renewable energy. Accordingly, and given that Iran's rural areas suffer from the unsustainable energy system, it is necessary to integrate renewable energy into comprehensive development programs in general, and into rural development programs, specifically. This review paper answers the following questions: Why is renewable energy important for Iran at national and rural levels? How is renewable energy related to sustainable rural development? and What are the challenges in the promotion of renewable energy technologies in Iran? The paper concludes that although renewable energy has potential for development in Iran's rural areas due to environmental, social and economic advantages, it could face some infrastructural, managerial, socio-cultural and economic challenges. Accordingly, aggressive and innovative policy making is required to meet these challenges.

Sustainable development that conceptually can be divided into the following parts: environmental, social and economic, is a pattern of resource use, which aims to meet human needs while preserving the environment so that these needs can be met not only in the present, but also for generations to come in future. This paper is a comparative study on the socio-environmental sustainability in traditional courtyard houses in Iran and China, as two of the ancient civilizations in the world. The aim is to investigate the potential of traditional courtyard houses in responding to environmental challenges alongside social norms over a long period of time. To achieve this purpose, social and environmental dimensions of the sustainability as well as the main elements of traditional courtyard houses in Iran and China are identified. Then, the way these elements have contributed to the social and environmental sustainability of heritage settlements are described, analyzed, and compared through library and field survey studies. Results of this research show that Iranian and Chinese traditional courtyard houses were designed based on a careful attention to climatic requirements in their socio-cultural context, in order to provide both physical and mental comforts for residents. As conclusion, some socio-environmental design principles are extracted, as lessons learned from the past, which can be considered in designing of contemporary sustainable residential buildings in Iran and China. These design patterns, can be generalized to all cases with similar climatic conditions, in order to save more energy as well as enhancing social values in mentioned areas.

Because of disadvantages of fossil fuels, renewable energy sources are getting importance for sustainable energy development and environmental protection. Among the renewable sources, Iran has geothermal energy potential. The Iranian government is considerable attention to the utilization of renewable energy, especially wind, solar and geothermal energies. Due to recent advancements in geothermal energy, many investors in the country have become interested in investing in this type of energy. Geothermal studies in Iran started in 1975 with a cooperative between the ministry of Energy of Iran and ENEL Company from Italy. Preliminary studies indicated potential for geothermal power generation in four areas in northern Iran (Khoy-Maku, Sabalan, Sahand and Damavand at Azarbaijan Gharbi, Ardebil, Azarbaijan Sharghi and Tehran provinces), respectively. Geothermal development in Iran has gained momentum in the last five years with increased exploration and industry growth in the country. Iran is developing a geothermal plant for power production. Iran government plans to build 2000 MW of renewable energy capacity over the next five years. Total projected use (geothermal capacity) has been estimated 100 MW at the end of 2010. Exploration drilling is currently in-progress for Meshkinshahr project in North-Western Iran. The Sabalan geothermal power plant is expected to produce 50 MW electric powers in 2011. The plants are planned by Iran Ministry of Energy and the Renewable Energy Organization of Iran (SUNA). This study presents a brief introduction to the resource, status and prospect of geothermal energy in Iran.

This study is aimed at developing the most important and applicable criteria and their corresponding sub-criteria for sustainable supplier selection through a questionnaire-based survey. In addition, a hybrid model is proposed to identify the most sustainable supplier with respect to the determined attributes using an Iranian textile manufacturing company as case study. The first contribution of the research is developing a comprehensive list of sustainability criteria and sub-criteria and incorporating them into a questionnaire and distributing the questionnaire to academics and practitioners for establishing the importance and applicability of these criteria and sub-criteria. In order to demonstrate the robustness of the data obtained from the questionnaire, different established statistical tests (Cronbach’s alpha and Mann-Withney U-Test) were applied. The results show that economic aspect is still the most essential aspect, followed by environmental aspect and finally social aspect. The second contribution is the development of a new hybrid model by integrating fuzzy preference programing, as one of the newest and most accurate fuzzy modification of Analytical Hierarchy Process, with Fuzzy Technique for Order of Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution. Fuzzy Preference Programming overcomes the shortcomings of the previous methods for obtaining the weight and Fuzzy Technique for Order of Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution prioritizes the suppliers and finds the best one under uncertainty. Generally, the developed list provides a basis that is helpful in improving suppliers’ performance in terms of sustainability which leads to improvement in sustainable supply chain management performance. In addition, the developed hybrid model can deal with inconsistency, uncertainty and calculation complexity. Generally, the framework (including the first and second objectives) can be applied by managers to evaluate and determine their appropriate suppliers in the presence of uncertainty.

This study develops an integrated model of the main contextual factors that affect sustainable delivery of megaprojects in Iran. The inputs to the model are based on a comprehensive literature review affecting the “triple bottom line” of sustainability, as measured in economic, environmental, and social costs. Innovation diffusion theory and extralogical laws of imitation inform the theoretical points of departure. The model inputs were customized for the context of Iran, and a structural equation model was developed, using data collected from 101 survey questionnaires. The findings identify a wide range of factors that directly impact megaproject sustainability, and these may be used by policymakers and practitioners within the Iranian construction industry to better manage sustainability outcomes. Principally, megaprojects would benefit from (1) the generation of sustainability awareness at the evaluation phase, (2) tackling corruption at the preparation phase, and (3) consolidating responsible project management practices at the usage phase. Moreover, these lessons may be more broadly applicable across the entire construction supply chain in Iran, as well as being transferable to other developing countries.

This paper discusses issues of sustainability and rural tourism within the context of Iran. Using a qualitative research approach, it investigates the experiences of one particular village which is already popular with visitors and has featured in official tourism development plans. The focus is on the reactions of residents and their perceptions of tourism impacts and formal policies. Findings indicate that villagers are concerned about the use of local natural and cultural resources for tourism purposes, recognising negative consequences which seem to them to outweigh positive effects. Participation has been very limited in government rural tourism initiatives which are felt to yield few benefits for village inhabitants. Current policies thus appear ineffective and reforms are necessary if the potential for sustainable rural tourism, embracing community engagement, is to be realised.

Qanats are a traditional source of water management that exists throughout much of the Middle East, and extending into North Africa, Spain and South Asia. In particular, they have played an important role in managing the supply of water throughout Iran for over two millennia in what is an arguably a sustainable manner. With water scarcity playing a prominent role in the modern world, qanats offer a practical, low cost solution to these issues. This paper looks at the early development of qanats in Iran, the important role they played in revolutionising the settlement systems and sustainability of communities in the past, and how they are now being reinvigorated to provide sustainable water in the present in Iran and other countries.

Sustainable development is a new concept with various perspectives in communities. Cities and rural areas are in the core of attention for developing. This study focuses on rural areas. Stability of building structures is so important in villages and rural areas. One sustainable development criterion of villagers is suitable housing. In this research, both new and traditional technologies are investigated for developing rural areas. The most part of Iran is in desert areas. This research investigates these areas in Iran as a case study. Two MCDM methods is applied as a new hybrid model in this research, at first SWARA is applied for weighting criteria and then COPRAS is applied for evaluating five selected building structures in term of these regions climate. Authors propose that this research can be useful as a framework for using in other regions in all around the world.

The purpose of this study is to review the energy production trend from different energy resources in recent decades and its effect on sustainable energy production as one of the basic axis of sustainable development in Iran. Ninety nine percent of energy production in Iran comes from oil & gas and only 1% from renewable energy resources. Since Iran has very rich fossil energy resources, little attention has been paid to explore alternative ways of energy production. Majority of country's income is from oil & gas which put extra pressure on its natural resources. Continuing with the existing trend may lead to a path away from the goals of sustainable development, set for the country. Therefore, the sustainability study should be of interest to decision-makers.

Electrical production for residential areas is one of the most important goals of SDGs (17 UN goal) and UN-Habitat III (14 goals) that can be achieved by renewable energy. Now, renewable energy is a significant issue that must be considered seriously as a policy and in order to achieve energy sustainability on a global scale especially in whole developing countries. Also, since the role of renewable energy in sustainable development is remarkable, thus this article presents a comprehensive discussion of energy sustainability for urban areas with related energy indicators and technical analysis of a Hybrid Power System to show the importance of renewable energy to gain energy sustainability. This paper presents the feasibility of using PV-DG hybrid systems as the reliable energy by an economic and technical analysis in one of the southern cities of Iran use of HOMER software. Regarding the high average of solar radiation that is about 5.4 kWh/m2/d in Chabahar city, technical analysis of this system demonstrates that this city has a high capacity to producing the electrical energy via PV-diesel hybrid system with total electrical production amount of 10,575 kWh/yr from PV (8,447 kWh/yr) and Diesel system (2,128 kWh/yr). For do this work at the first, the required data is gathered from the meteorological organization of Iran and then technical and economic analysis is conducted with the Homer software. This study regarding the high potential of solar energy of Chabahar city shows that to achieve development especially in the energy sustainability field needs to implementing proper actions such as enough investment on clean energy and using renewable energy for electrical production.

Nations have developed their plans for sustainable development, including social, environmental, and economic aspects. Internet of things (IoT) has been introduced as the next wave of innovation. However, there is still little evidence of progressing IoT in developing countries. Therefore, making policies for investors and tech-entrepreneurs are much needed. Iran, as a transition economy, follows its 1404 economic outlook and should prioritise industries for using IoT. Thus, the aim of this study is to prioritise these industries. In the Iran Telecommunication Research Center and by using the multiple attribute decision making (MADM), criteria weight and prioritising the industries were obtained and each aspect of 'sustainable IoT', obtained and for this aim and to prioritise the industries the analytic hierarchy process (AHP), technique for order of preference by similarity to ideal solution (TOPSIS) and ELimination Et Choix Traduisant la REalité e (ELECTRE) methods applied. The result is, respectively, healthcare, energy, smart home, transportation and retailing. The research sheds light on how policy makers can implement policies to use the IoT for achieving sustainable development.

Energy is a main factor for sustainable and economic development of many countries in the world. The objective of this paper is to investigate barriers facing solar energy development in Iran through a case study conducted on the Alborz Province. A questionnaire was designed and then submitted to the professionals in the field of solar energy. First, the identified barriers are classified into five categories of technical, legal, economic, sociocultural, and support by help of experts. Then, the fuzzy Best-Worst method is used to determine importance of the identified criteria and sub-criteria for development of the solar energy sector in the region. The findings indicate that the primary barriers to solar energy development are economic factors which are related to the adverse impact of the uncertain economic conditions including the sanctions against Iran. Because of the high risk of new business, domestic people do not have enough ambition and interest in starting new renewable energy projects. The low price of fossil fuels (in the economic category as sub-criteria), has the most significant impact on the stagnation of this sector, which is related to the ease of access to energy in Iran and its effect on the interest in renewable energy use. Supporting the private sectors by receiving financial incentives can help development of the renewable energy sector in the province. By using similar research for other regions, decision makers can accurately identify challenges for development of solar energy.

Sustainable development is a balance between economic growth, environmental issues and social conditions. In this respect, urban sustainable development is an important challenge, and a considerable part of sustainable development. Therefore, this study was carried out to assess and predict urban sustainability in different areas of Kermanshah city of Iran using an integrated approach, including the improved full permutation polygon synthetic indicator (IFPPSI) and Shannon's entropy methods. Kermanshah is the largest city located in the west of Iran with six main urban areas, which is facing many environmental, economic and social problems. The results showed that among the six urban areas, Areas 1, 3 and 4 have been shown to be at a moderate level, based on the synthetic indicator value (0.25–0.5). According to the synthetic indicator value (< 0.25), the levels of the other areas (2, 5 and 6) are quite bad. The IFPPSI results were also compared with common multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) techniques, ELECTRE of the concordance subgroup, TOPSIS of the compromising subgroup and SAW of the scoring subgroup. The results of the Friedman test showed that there is no significant difference between the MCDM and IFPPSI methods; however, the IFPPSI method is preferred due to its remarkable advantages over the other methods. In a subsequent part, based on the data collected from three time periods, the years 1996, 2006 and 2016, the indicator anticipated for 2026 showing no improvement in the environmental, economic and social indexes compared with the current conditions.

Based on the scores and trends of Sustainable Development Goals, Iran, our case study, has been unsuccessful in nearly all the pillars of sustainable development despite the variations in socioeconomic variables related to the SDGs. This implies a comprehensive underdevelopment in Iran, necessitating the improvement of infrastructure which significantly affects all the pillars of sustainable development including environment, health, and economy. This study, takes transportation as an important infrastructure which has various direct and indirect impacts on all pillars of sustainable development, especially in the case study of Iran. To evaluate this, the present study aims to investigate 1) which sustainability perspective dominates in Iran (strong sustainability, weak sustainability, or health-centered sustainability); and 2) the consistency degree of each transportation mode with each pillar of sustainability including environment, health, and economy. We employ VAR and simultaneous equations system to find which perspective of sustainable development dominates Iran; and to rank the transportations modes in accordance with their consistency with sustainable development in Iran during 1979–2016. Overall, the results of this study is found to be significant and support the strong sustainability perspective in Iran. The most compliant transportation modes with the sustainable development in Iran are then ranked as: a) rail, b) air, c) road, and d) maritime transportation. These results suggest the policy-makers to: 1) value the environmental issues at the top of the agenda for the sustainability strategies; and 2) to shift the load of passenger and goods to the rail transportation by investing and developing the rail network.

This paper presents the results of research carried out to improve emergency response activities in earthquake‐prone areas of Iran. The research concentrated on emergency response operations, emergency medical care, emergency transportation, and evacuation—the most important issues after an earthquake with regard to saving the lives of victims. For each topic, some guidelines and criteria are presented for enhancing emergency response activities, based on evaluations of experience of strong earthquakes that have occurred over the past two decades in Iran, notably Manjil (1990), Bam (2003), Firouz Abad‐Kojour (2004), Zarand (2005) and Broujerd (2006). These guidelines and criteria are applicable to other national contexts, especially countries with similar seismic and social conditions as Iran. The results of this study should be incorporated into comprehensive plans to ensure sustainable development or reconstruction of cities as well as to augment the efficiency of emergency response after an earthquake.

Energy crisis, environmental degradation, urbanization, industrialization, and climate change pose serious challenges to sustainable development. The expansion of green buildings (GBs) is regarded both as an effective method for energy consumption and an important strategy in the construction industry. However, in Iran due to lack of knowledge and awareness, uncertainty, and permission-related problems, GBs have failed to attract the attention of developers and purchasers. Therefore, identifying the factors that influence the adoption of GBs in the Iranian setting is still unknown and needs a critical examination. To fill this gap, the present study expands the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) by adding five factors (including social influence, subjective knowledge, environmental attitude, perceived cost, and trust in responsible organizations) and examining their impacts on building experts’ adoption of GBTs. The sample of the study included 301 GB experts in Tehran City, Iran. Sixteen hypotheses were proposed and tested applying the partial least squares path modeling (PLS) approach. The results indicate subjective knowledge was only a good predictor of intention and did not exercise an influence on attitude and perceived usefulness. Social trust, attitude, and perceived cost also predicted intention. Perceived usefulness was a good predictor of both attitude and intention. Perceived ease of use was a good predictor of perceived usefulness and attitude. The results of this study provide key insights into promoting GBTs, as an effective pro-environmental behavior, in developing countries.

Builders from the Western part of Asia are trained to make buildings that can fulfil certain required functions while giving full consideration to all sites and environmental conditions. The research covers the zone between Iraq and Iran. The first investigated region is the “Mesopotamian Marshes” or Iraqi-Iran Marshes, a wetland zone situated in southern Iraq and partially in southwestern Iran. The other region is a desert district, which includes a prominent part of the southern and western parts of Iraq and part of Iran. The last is the centre city of Basra. The building materials were the most important building element that affected the conformation of vernacular habitats from the western part of Asia in general and the Iraq–Iran area in particular. In this study, we needed to focus on the effects of ecological and energy-efficiency processes in creating vernacular habitats and the selection of optimal building systems and materials in this part of the world, which can be an essential point for sustainable environmental building processes in the future. Reeds, clay, straw, bricks, and wood were the most popular building materials used by builders from this region. The impact of building material on the environment embodies the essential method implicitly significant in this research to effectively determine traditional building materials in the environment, in addition to comparative analysis. This presents an essential factor of our analysis, in addition to the impact of environments on building systems. The main target of this study is to benefit designers and building engineers in their pursuit to find optimal and competent solutions suitable for specific local microclimates using traditional methods in the design process that are sustainable and ecological.

Abstract Current discourse on the transition to a decarbonized energy system future is dominated by renewable energy solutions. Initial conditions for this transition may vary across different regions and countries. There are, however, also opportunities for innovative solutions that utilize other low‐carbon energy sources and technology mix. Sustainable development is a contested concept and varies with priorities attached to social, economic, and environmental goals. Therefore, the one‐size‐fits‐all type of solution paradigm needs to be broadened, to accelerate action in the short to medium term. Our argument is that natural gas can be an important complementary transition fuel to support renewable energy in the short‐ and medium‐term transition phases. This means that the goal of zero fossil fuel as a short‐ and medium‐term solution needs to be reconsidered. This takes us to the next argument that innovation and upgraded technology in the low‐carbon fossil fuel sector will provide an important impetus for low‐carbon transition, which we see as a phase lasting until the middle of the century. However, the transition toward a sustainable energy future of gas‐fueled solutions has challenges from the social, technical, economic, geographical, and political points of view. Suitable local solutions should, however, also be assessed. These should take into consideration infrastructure, local demands, resources, and economic aspects as well as national energy policies. An analysis based on the experiences of four countries, both developed and developing, is presented in this study. The countries selected for this study can be placed in two categories: those with an abundance of natural gas reserves (Iran and Norway) and those that are import‐dependent (India and UK). The cross‐country analysis will help us to understand the realistic challenges and opportunities of natural gas as a transition fuel.

Evaluating the current situation of ecotourism in Kaji Namakzar Wetland in South Khorasan Province, Iran and offering strategies for its sustainable development are the main objectives of this study. To this end, different decision making tools were used including questionnaires and interviews with experts, local residents and visitors of the wetland. Strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats (SWOT) and quantitative strategic planning matrix (QSPM) analysis techniques were conducted to identify the required management strategies. Results showed that the existing ecotourism activities within the wetland are not in line with the sustainability requirements. Although the result of the present study showed that KNW has an unsustainable situation with regard to its current management strategies, if authorities take its great opportunities and strengths more into consideration, it can have positive effects on developing sustainable strategies to increase ecotourism activities in the region and to reduce the adverse effects on the environment.

Although the agricultural sector is an important source of bioenergy production, this production can be considered sustainable when energy consumed and environmental emissions are optimal. As such, the assessment of energy flow, environmental emissions of walnut orchards in Alborz province of Iran and their simultaneous optimization by multi-objective imperialist competitive algorithm are the main goals of this investigation. Input-output energy analysis, IMPACT 2002+ method of life cycle assessment, and multi-objective imperialist competitive algorithm are used in the energy-environmental evaluation for optimization in this study. Results ascertain that energy uses of the entire output and input are computed to be 31,015 and 27200 MJ ha−1, respectively and that gasoline with 40% is the dominated consumer of energy. Moreover, energy use efficiency is 0.88, which indicates energy inefficiency in walnut production. Environmental results shows that On-Orchard emissions with a share more than 50% in ecosystem quality, human health, and climate changes and gasoline in resources category are the main hotspots. Multi-objective optimization illustrates that the reduction in total energy is 19316 MJ ha−1 (about 62%) and gasoline with 58% is the most energy saving input among all. On the other hand, the total weighted emission decreases by about 1.47Pt (about 40%). Generally, results reveal that timely maintenance can help orchardist attain close to optimal condition. Furthermore, the application of imperialist competitive algorithm not only can offer optimum pattern of walnut production, but also be extended to the world for different crops.

The present article includes studies on the importance of addressing strategic issues in the field of general policies adopted and strategies for the development of renewable energy in Iran. Considering that energy is one of the determining indicators in economic development and the development and optimization of renewable energy can play an effective role in economic growth and protection of environmental conditions, this article tries to introduce the types of renewable energy and general principles. They point to the policies that ultimately determine the priority and necessity of using some of them for the country and explain why and how to use them. The general principles discussed in this article include the advantages, disadvantages, potentials, and, most importantly, comparative comparisons with two neighboring countries. The results of these studies show that despite Iran’s diverse potentials in the field of renewable energy, wind energy has a higher priority than other cases in terms of economic justification and market competition, and domestic production rates. Other renewable energy sources for power generation and grid connection are less of a priority for short- or medium-term investment. However, for non-grid use in the country, they can also be very useful in the short term. In general, Iran can be a hub for renewable energy.

The Sistan Delta in Iran is located at the end of a closed basin with nearly 100% of the supply coming from Afghanistan. This supply is supporting irrigated agriculture in the area and is the source for the lake system around the delta. These Hamoun lakes are ecological very valuable wetlands; a number of them are registered as Ramsar sites. The Iranian government tries to improve the living conditions of the people in the area, among others by providing infrastructure for irrigated agriculture. Further development of the irrigated area will mean less water for the Hamouns with resulting lower average water coverage of the lakes. This will not only endanger the ecosystem that the Hamouns support but also the livelihoods of the people that depend on the goods and services that the lakes provide. This paper describes a study that has been carried out to support decision making on potential development schemes in the delta. The non-availability of data from Afghanistan requires the development of various tools and the use of remote sensing techniques to enable to make estimates for the river flow that Iran can expect from Afghanistan. An IWRM approach has been used for the balancing of interests involved. Some preliminary conclusions are described.

Sustainable development by emphasizing on satisfying the current needs of the general public without threating their futures, alongside with taking the environment and future generations under consideration, has become one of the prominent issues in different societies. Therefore, identifying and prioritizing the key factors of sustainable architecture according to regional and cultural features could be the first step in sustaining the architecture as a process and an outcome. In this paper, the key indicators of the environmental sustainability in contemporary architecture of Iran has been identified and prioritized. This study has been performed in three phases. First, identifying key factors of environmental sustainability according to the experts’ point of view and transforming the collected data to triangular fuzzy numbers. Subsequently, the best-worst multi-criteria decision-making method (henceforth BWM) under grey system circumstances has determined the weights and priority of the identified criteria. Eventually, identified key factors were prioritized by the complex proportional assessment method (hereafter COPRAS) under the condition of fuzzy sets. The results indicate that the key factors of creating engagement between buildings and other urban systems has the highest priority in the built environment sustainability in contemporary architecture and proving building management systems has the lowest.

The paper outlines the application of a mathematical model of sustainability to an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) of two opencast iron ore mines in Iran. The model’s application to the EIA, which used the Folchi method, was undertaken for the purpose of indicating the potential level and nature of sustainability (if appropriate) of the two mines. The results indicated that both Chogart and Gol-e-Gohar iron ore mine were deemed to be potentially unsustainable. The results suggests the delicate balance and failure of achieving some form of sustainability in regards to mining in Iran, due to the impacts it has upon the local environment and community affected. The paper concludes as to the potential significance of the model’s application in the attainment of the goal of sustainable mining.

The paper provides for an evaluation of the potential level and nature of sustainable development of the Sabalan geothermal power plant in NW Iran, to be operational in 2011. The paper achieves this by applying a mathematical model of sustainable development developed by the author (re: Phillips [17], [18]), in respect to the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) conducted by Yousefi et al. [13] using the Rapid Impact Assessment Matrix (RIAM) methodology (re: Pastakia [15]; Pastakia and Jensen [16]). Using a model application methodology developed for the RIAM, the results indicated that the nature of sustainable development for Sabalan was considered to be very weak (S = 0.063). This was due to the imbalance between negative environmental impacts and positive socio-economic impacts deriving from the project. Further, when placed into context with a similar set of results obtained from the EIA of the Tuzla geothermal power plant by Baba [35] also using the RIAM methodology, then the similarities between the results obtained raises some legimate questions as to the sustainable development credentials of geothermal power production.

Housing affordability is an important policy goal. However, housing is not truly affordable if located in an inaccessible area with high transportation costs. Increasing the supply of affordable housing in accessible locations helps achieve multiple planning objectives: it reduces transportation costs, improves economic opportunity for disadvantaged groups, reduces accident risks, conserves energy and reduces pollution emissions. In recent years researchers have developed analysis methods for measuring total housing and transportation costs for different locations within cities, called a Housing and Transportation (H+T) Affordability Index. This study applies this type of analysis in Qom City, Iran. The results indicate that suburban-area households spend more than 57% of their monthly income on housing and transport, significantly more than the 45% spent by households in the central district. This is consistent with research results in other urban areas. This illustrates the feasibility of applying housing and transportation affordability analysis in developing country cities to help identify truly affordable and sustainable development.

The present study aimed to develop a practical framework consisting of GIS and MCDM to assess the development sustainability of Karaj, a city in the west of Tehran, Iran. Firstly, the influencing factors on sustainable urban development including seven criteria and 24 sub-criteria were screened and selected based on literature review, interviews with experts and Delphi technique. Then, the criteria were weighted and prioritized using Group Fuzzy BWM (GFBWM) and Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) methods. Fuzzy logic and Weighted Linear Combination (WLC) methods in GIS were used to determine the sustainability of Karaj for urban development. Finally, Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) was used to rank the identified areas. Our findings showed that the socioeconomic criterion and employment sub-criterion were the most important in AHP and GF-BWM methods. Both methods estimated that about 30% of the entire study area was highly sustainable in terms of urban development with no significant difference between the two methods. Finally, TOPSIS selected the center and north of the city as those with the highest priority. The integrated approach used in this study provided a flexible tool for analysis of the sustainable development, useful for planners and city managers.

One of the main goals of implementation of the Integrated Coastal Zone Management in Iran is to establish sustainable social and economic development in the coastal areas. The main strategy for achieving this goal is by encouraging the economic activities at the coastal areas that are consistent with environmental capacities. Tourist industry has a special place in the national economy, and it plays the most dynamic economic role in sustainable development. A large number of people usually choose this area for recreation as a result of the beautiful landscapes consisting of green forest, hills, rivers and wetland. Therefore, the objective of this study is to determine the optimal tourism sites among various tourism alternatives based on ICZM strategies. This study develops an evaluation model based on the analytic network process (ANP) and the technique for order performance by similarity to ideal solution (TOPSIS), to help the investors in tourism industries, for the selection of the optimal tourism site in the Integrated Coastal Zone Management in a fuzzy environment, where the vagueness and subjectivity are handled with linguistic values parameterized by triangular fuzzy numbers. The ANP is used to analysis the structure of tourism site selection problem and determine the weights of the criteria, while Fuzzy TOPSIS method is utilized to obtain final priorities. A real world application is performed to illustrate the utilization of the model for the tourism site selection problem. Furthermore, for convenience and accuracy in calculating the relative weights of the criteria, Super Decisions software was used. The proposed model adopted in Qeshm Island considers and interprets the effectiveness and feasibility of the model.

Today, medical tourism is one of the fastest growing sectors of the tourism industry around the world. Medical tourism can contribute to the sustainable development and economic dynamism of countries. Therefore, in this study, we prioritize the world’s leading countries in medical tourism for Iranians. First, five main criteria and 20 sub-criteria were selected, which are the reasons for choosing a country as a medical tourism destination. In this paper a combined fuzzy SWARA-PROMETHEE approach was used to prioritize tourism destinations. The acronym PROMETHEE stands for Preference Ranking Organization Method for Enrichment Evaluation method and represents an useful MCDA (Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis) tool. On the other hand, SWARA acronym means Step-wise Weight Assessment Ratio Analysis. The criteria were weighted using the fuzzy SWARA approach. In the following, using the PROMETHEE approach, we prioritized eight countries as tourism destinations, then we identified criteria related to sustainability of medical tourism destinations and prioritized medical tourism destinations using these criteria as the contributions of this paper. The weights obtained for criteria “Abilities of skilled staff,” “Applied medical equipment,” “Marketing capability,” “Type of service provided,” and “Application of information and communications technology” were 0.176, 0.232, 0.108, 0.395, and 0.089, respectively. The results show that medical tourism destination priorities for Iranians are India (Phi = 0.1396), Malaysia (Phi = 0.1128), Panama (Phi = 0.0976), Mexico (Phi = 0.0790), Singapore (Phi = 0.0096), Taiwan (Phi = −0.0442), Brazil (Phi = −0.1747), and Costa Rica (Phi = −0.2196), respectively. Negative Phi values indicate below average performance of those countries and positive Phi values indicate above average performance of those criteria. The results indicate that countries with negative Phi values should be strengthened relative to the improvement of some criteria.

In recent years, developing countries are facing huge challenges in the management of ‘Waste from Electrical and Electronic Equipment’ (WEEE). Waste from electrical and electronic equipment contains hazardous materials that may have an impact on human environment and health if not properly managed. Therefore, governments should be concerned and be seeking ways to design the recovery and disposal networks to manage WEEE waste treatment strategies. The objective of this paper is to design a country level WEEE recovery network based on sustainable development in which economic, environmental and social issues are considered. A simulation optimisation model is developed to determine the best locations for the collection centres and also recycling plants for managing total WEEE in Iran, so that the government can simultaneously perform the trade-off between environmental issues and economical and social impacts. The proposed model was examined through an illustrative case study from Iran's current WEEE situation.

Iran has a long history of effective and sustainable water resource management under arid and semi-arid conditions. However, today the country is faced with serious challenges in the water sector, including rising water demand and shortages, declining groundwater levels, deteriorating water quality, and increasing threats to the environment and various ecosystems. If these issues persist, tragedy will be the inevitable result. Over the last three decades tremendous efforts have been made to supply water, primarily through an extensive program of development, with dam building at the forefront. This paper offers an introduction to the different factors and elements influencing the water balance in today’s Iran and presents a perspective on the trend of dam building in recent times.

Recent years, air pollution phenomenon has become one of the crucial problems of Tehran, Iran. Due to main political and economic role of Tehran, population of this metropolis is high and increasing. Urban transportation of this highly populated city contributes more than 70% of air pollution problem in this city. Although a number of urban transport developments, policy measures and regulations have been employed, Tehran’s air pollution has remained crucial thus far. Finding ways to encourage individuals to behave more sustainable can be considered as a substantial approach of tackling environmental problems such as air pollution, since it can be highly cost-effective and fast. This research attempt to evaluate the impacts of two factors of outcome framing and psychological distance of air pollution on citizen’s willingness to behave environmental friendly, particularly to change the travel mode choice. Results illustrate that communicating the consequences of air pollution can provoke individuals’ to act more environment friendly or in particular to change their intention for using more sustainable mode of transportation. Framing the positive consequences of mitigating air pollution take precedence over framing the negative consequences. Moreover the gains of mitigating air pollution have an impact on the willingness to use of bicycle and bus. Results also show that decreasing the psychological distance of air pollution in order to make manipulated frame more personally relevant has no significant impact on respondents.
