Abstract :

Background and Objective: Since the adoption of the Rio Declaration in 1992 the concept of using a collaborative approach in various fields of development and environmental protection is accepted at the international level. This declaration announces collaborative approach as an important factor in environmental management and making decision in sustainable development. It makes authorities to apply this approach as much as possible. Method: According to academic and international references and citing the ongoing projects in the world in this field, the intervention mechanisms will be identified and checked. Also the method of applying methods, components and indexes in this approach will be expressed. Findings: The increasing rate of development programs lead to the environmental, economic and social warnings. In response to issues and crises from them, concepts and approaches were proposed which one of them was transfer development right. Discussion and conclusion: This approach makes the owners voluntarily participate in the preservation lands programs and therefore government shouldn’t pay any money for those programs. This research is tried to explain transfer development right approach and its goals and mechanisms.
