Environmental Impact Assessment of Yasuj Cement Factory Using Iranian RIAM and Leopold Matrix (Case Study: Tangary Village of Yasouj City)

Today, the path to sustainable development is to pay attention to the industries that, while maintaining the principles of the environment, while maintaining the principles of the environment, improve the lives of the people of society and do not pose serious risks for the future generation. In this regard, the environmental impact assessment Is an appropriate tool for achieving sustainable development goals that identify and predicts the environmental impacts of a project or different projects on the environmental components (physical, biological, socio-economic, and cultural). The purpose of this study was to identify and predict the effects of construction of yasuj cement factory in the city of Yasuj. In this descriptive-analytical study, the present state of the environment in the region was studied. Then, by reviewing the project's technical resources, we aimed to identify the most important phases of exploitation and construction. Finally, the Iranian Leopold Matrix method and RIAM were selected to evaluate the environmental impacts of the Yaman-e-Jam Cement factory. The results of the RIAM matrix analysis showed that the most negative effects were related to air quality, soil erosion, noise pollution, quality of agricultural products, landscapes and landscapes of the village, employment and unemployment, and in contrast to the positive the most significant impacts of rural development plans, services and transportation are property values. Therefore, the implementation of the project has many socio-economic benefits for the village and surrounding areas. Also according to the results of the Leopold matrix, the most environmental damage involved in the exploitation phase is related to the socioeconomic and cultural sectors and in the biological and physical building stage, therefore, since the most negative effects created in the classification of the weak group the project was fully approved. But corrective actions must be taken into consideration until the environmental effects of the plant increase.
