Abstract :
Background and Objective: Poverty is one of the most important consequences of the unfair distribution of incomes among people in the society. The continuation of poverty leads to severe environmental tensions that sometimes involve the entire society. This article has been carried out with the aim of investigating the effects of deprivation-removal programs in promoting environmental sustainability in Qaleh ganj city. Material and Methodology: The research method is in the form of library studies and field surveys. The statistical population of this research is 80 thousand people in the city and simple random sampling has been chosen to determine the number of people. The necessary information to obtain the results was obtained through a researcher-made questionnaire. In order to determine the reliability of the researcher's questionnaire, Cronbach's alpha was used, and its validity was checked through content and exploratory validity. Findings: The conclusions show that the presuppositions related to the tests have an appropriate level and the relationship of deprivation with environmental dimensions, respectively, 0.52, 0.38, 0.49 (land, water resources and genetic resources) were related. Discussion and Conclusion: The results showed that water resources, trees and pastures are in an unstable state and the only factor that has a relatively stable state is the soil. At the same time, the amount of electricity consumption, urban solid waste and greenhouse gas emissions are at the optimal level from the environmental point of view of the city. The implementation of deprivation programs in the promotion of environmental sustainability in Qaleh ganj city has grown from an unstable situation to a relatively stable one.
