Abstract :
Sustainable development is a form of development that can meet human needs without harming the resources of the future. Since sustainable development is possible through the civilian rights, it is necessary to consider the existing laws and relevant institutions. This research with descriptive-analytic approach (data collection from national and international resources, etc.) has conducted the achievement of sustainable development considering the citizens’ rights. Analysis shows stabilizing of sustainable development will lead to the improvement of social participation with gaining the trust of citizens, which requires the establishment of the Charter of Civilian rights as a comprehensive law. Familiarization of citizens with their rights and duties before the government, ultimately paves the way for sustainable urban development. This study also examines the crises related to sustainable development (air pollution, water pollution, population growth, agriculture, deforestation, food security, etc.) and provides suggestions in cultural, social, economic, political and legal areas.
