Abstract

We know that the issue is the most important structural component of policy-making and management in any field. According to Popper, for any scientific search, one must have a specific problem and find out what we are looking for. Since the main question of our research was: "What are the most important harms of the environmental policy of the Islamic Republic of Iran based on sustainable development (with emphasis on water crisis management)?" We have tried to test the four main components of the main hypothesis based on the design of policy theories, especially in the framework of group policy theory, and among the various theories proposed on sustainable development, the UN 27th Declaration in Rio de Janeiro, which is entitled "Charter" Earth »is famous, we chose. Thus, inconsistency and incoherence in environmental regulation and disregard for the scientific-experimental approach and expert opinions in structures and laws, as well as the lack of a systemic approach in environmental policy and water crisis management in the Islamic Republic of Iran as the most important harms and Based on previous research and studies, we found that the solution is to adopt a group policy model and theory, which unfortunately over the years has more or less ignored sustainable development and in addition to fueling environmental, political, social and economic crises, " We have turned water scarcity into a "water crisis." The method of analyzing our information in this dissertation was descriptive-analytical.
