Explaining the Pattern of Environmental Components on Sustainable Urban Development Case Study: Sistan Border Region

Environmental dimension is one of the most basic dimensions of sustainable development. The purpose of this study is to identify the indicators of sustainable development and examine their internal and interrelationships on sustainable urban development in the border region of Sistan in Sistan and Baluchestan province. The present study is of applied type and in terms of descriptive-analytical research method. The statistical population of the group of experts and the sample size were selected by a purposeful method of 20 people. The data analysis method is structural equation modeling and Emos software. The results of this method indicate that the amount of beta in the path of water on the environment with a coefficient of / 780, soil on the environment with a coefficient of / 770 and air on the environment with a coefficient of / 710 and finally natural resources on the environment with a coefficient of / 580 0 and the environmental variable has an impact on sustainable development with a coefficient of / 840. According to the statistics obtained from Table 6, it can be said that among the variables affecting the water environment, then soil and air and then natural resources have the most effect. Finally, the intensity of the environment equal to / 840 has an effect on sustainable development in the border city of Zahedan. In other words, if the exogenous variable (independent) of the environmental components of a unit changes, sustainable development will change / 840 / unit in the same (positive) direction.
