Promoting Sustainable Urban Development Culture Using Information and Communication Technology in the West Urban Areas of Kermanshah Province

Sustainable urban development is a development that responds to the needs of the urban people, on the condition that its survival and durability is also guaranteed, and three vital elements, that is, water, soil, and air which are essential for human life do not get miry or be useless. The present study was conducted to introduce an operational approach to sustainable urban development by presenting a discourse for promoting the culture of sustainable urban development in the west urban areas of Kermanshah province. The research method was descriptive-analytic and the required information was collected in two ways of documentary-library method and field studies. To analyze the data using SPSS software, the researchers used Spearman test. The results of the study indicated that by reforming people’s attitudes and promoting the level of community culture, citizens may participate in the process of sustainable urban development with more responsibility. Moreover, information and communication technology (ICT) plays an important role in promoting the values ​​and norms of sustainable urban development in the community. The lack of prioritization of views on the principle of sustainability and non-reformation of environmental-urban attitudes is one of the major challenges of the failure to achieve the culture of sustainable urban development.
