Abstract :
The purpose of this study is an introduction of the DPSIR model and the application of DPSIR modelin the environment and its decision making by reviewing the DPSIR the application of DPSIR modelin the environment and its decision making by reviewing the DPSIR. Due to numerous environmentalproblems which are mostly based on economical aspects of anthropogenic Over the recent decadesboth scientists and decision-makers challenged. These problems have ranged in scales from globalclimate change to effects of anthropogenic on ecological systems. Nowadays, there is a considerableneed to a flexible approach to deal effectively with environmental problems regarding to thoseproblems; an approaches which consider both socio-economic factors as well as environmentalfactors. With respect to the aim of this study, the method of the study is reviewing researches andprevious findings about the application of DPSIR model and it’s as benefits and disadvantages in anenvironmental decision making. The DPSIR (Driving force-pressure-state-impact-responseframeworkis such a tool allowing the description of environmental problems through defining the relationshipbetween anthropogenic activities and the environment. The results of this study indicates that TheDPSIR model could categorize and simplify various information about environmental systems due toproviding those information for policy makers for possible responses. so in recent decades this methodare increasingly used by scientists and policy makers
