This is to explain that if the regulation is not in the framework of the principles of good governance and also the regulation is not good, it has the ability to generate or intensify administrative corruption during the implementation of regulations by public officials or people. This category in such an important issue of the environment can have long-term and irreparable consequences for public interests.
