Abstract :
In general, conceptual models are used to express and depict the concept of sustainability, and in recent years, various models have been presented by researchers and analysts in this field to express and show the concept of sustainable development. In this research, which is a type of review and library research, an attempt has been made to examine and analyze the evolutionary process of sustainable development models and the contents expressed around sustainable development models. For this purpose, a number of more than 50 articles in the theoretical field of sustainable development and its models were examined and explored, among which 39 best articles based on content and content were used as sources and references. By expressing the evolution of sustainable development models over time, this research has presented a single collection in the form of a review article with a critical approach including capabilities, capacities, strengths and weaknesses of sustainable development models that have been proposed at the global level. The results of this research show that the lack of independence of the three dimensions, ignoring the time dimension, and paying less attention to the environmental dimension are among the main problems of the existing models.
