Abstract:
According to the "Environmental Performance Index" certificate, Iran's environment is not in a good condition in 2022. And it faces many crises, including the phenomenon of fine dust, drying up of wetlands, land subsidence in most parts of the country, air pollution, etc. For this purpose, considering the importance of the drafting stage in the public policy making process, the present research intends to propose and provide a framework for the drafting of the country's environmental policies in order to solve environmental problems. The present research has a qualitative approach, which was first a literature review and then a semi-structured interview was arranged with 13 experts in the field of environment, and then thematic analysis method was used to analyze the data. In this method, first through descriptive coding process, 105 primary codes (themes) emerged in the form of 37 sub-themes using MAXODA software. Then these themes were related to each other in the process of interpretive coding and finally 8 main or overarching themes were identified. Then, in the final stage of the research (quantitative approach), due to the possibility of bias in the experts' opinions, the Delphi technique was used to reach a group agreement between the experts. The results of this research show that eight components or factors have an effect on the development of environmental policies, which are the main themes of this research. These topics include "economic components of sustainable development", "social components of sustainable development", "environmental components of sustainable development", "political components of sustainable development", "legal requirements", institutional capacity and "actors effective in formulating the policy" "Environmental policies" as effective factors in developing environmental policies were identified and formed the research framework.
