| Abstract
Introduction: Maintaining a sound and healthy environment along with accomplishing a sustainable development have always been considered by higher policy markers in any country . Therefore based on such a goal , this investigation was theorized and fulfilled to recognize the best possible procedures on how to have a sounder urban environment .
Materials & Methods : In this descriptive – analytic investigation , necessary data and statistical figures were collected and analyzed in accordance with the current indicators of environmental standards . The data questionnaire covered 10 indicators items as follows city – construction and housing , energy consumption style , public green space, transportation and traffic and load , keeping and collecting sheep , air pollution , drinking water , waste water disposal , solid waste disposal , public knowledge about the environment , and current activities to develop green areas.
Findings : It was deduced that 81% of Ilam buildings had been constructed with irresistant mass .90% of all the construction projects did not respond to the standards . About 28.8% of all the studied families ere keeping sheep in their residence . The average annual density of particles floating in Ilam air has been reported as 97.27 micro gram in meter which is almost 1.6 times more than clean – air standards .
Microbial contamination of water is a bit more than its standards limit while water wasting in the distribution network is about 40% - Approximately , 1.4 of the sewage is transferred 180-220 tons daily in Ilam 70% of which is made up of decaying materials .
Conclusion : The findings show that most the investigated indicators prove far from the national and international standards . Thus , providing green belts considering the 12-15 sq- meter standards of green space for the country encouraging an economical culture of energy consumption , improving public transportation , educating citizens through mass media in the adverse consequences of sheep – keepings in urban parts , improving water deposits and healthy usage of them , accelerating the sewage network , keeping citizens informed of hazards caused by infected rubbish and establishing green government topics among schools were of significant point to influence the achievement of such great social goal . |
