This Study was carried out with the purpose of Investigating the Pollutants Resulted from Bandarabbas Industrial Estate I during operation phase and presenting Environmental Management Program for this Industrial Complex from 21/04/2006 to 21/07/2007. There are 38 Industrial units working in this Industrial Estate. These units are grouped as chemical, Food, Metal, non-metallic minerals, Cellulosic, and Electric and Electronics. To Develop an Environmental Management program for the Industrial Estate, the Following Steps were respectively taken during operation phase: to determine the environmental policy and objectives for the Industrial Estate, to Investigate Industrial Estate Environmental effects in the area of interest, to plan and implement the operational projects, and to control and monitor the extent of programs progress. To examine the Industrial Estate environmental effects, some stations were specified and environmental elements including wastewater repelled from treatment plant; air and sound were sampled and measured. Air and sound were sampled at ten stations and repelled wastewater was sampled twice to determine TSS, COD, BOD parameters. After the samples were measured, the results of the analysis were compared with the current standards. The results of Industrial Estate wastewater samples analysis revealed a BOD more than 240 mg/liters. Industrial Estate wastewater also contained microbial infections. The investigation of air quality in the area showed that the extent of gaseous pollutants such as NO, NO2, and SO2 and troposphere ozone exceeded the permissible level. Sound measurements at three stations "Bita SouthElectricity", "Hormozgan Rubber Complex", "Hormozgan Oxygen Generating Plant" were reported to be db 76.3, 78.2, 76.8 respectively, which were higher than the permissible level specified for sound in industrial areas. The proposed guideline for controlling these pollutions and reducing their potential effects on the Industrial Estate environment and personnel's health involves running a short-termed environmental control and monitoring program. A major element in environmental management is to perform a careful assessment of environment and to control and monitor the protection programs. Hence, in order to achieve the mentioned goals and running the environmental management program in the investigated area, this study intends to establish the Industrial Estate environmental management unit and put the Industrial Estate environment policy into action by 2009.

Industrial Estate of Rasht is one of the oldest Industrial Estate of Iran in Guilan province. It was established before the Islamic republic of Iran's revolution in 1974. The Industrial Estate of Rasht that is the greatest active Industrial Estate in the province is located at 18- kilometer of western south side of Rasht city. In this article, solid waste management has been studied as one of the problems of this Industrial Estate. The method of this article has been on the basis of observation and completion of subjective questionnaires distributed among 61% of the active industrial units. Study of finding show that majority of industries, have a passive approach toward remarks of environment protection, absorption of environment experts and scientific management of Solid wastes. In this regard, only 13.4% of the units have environment experts, 14.9% of industrial units have taken an action for studying their solid wastes. For this reason, two industrial units have been able to selected as Green unit in Guilan province. Metal and nonmetal mineral Industries groups have the most amount of industrial solid waste with 26.80% and 20.72% respectively, and Metal Industrial groups with 19% and textile industries with 15.23% have the most weight of House-hold solid wastes. About 4.45% of the units have recycled their solid wastes and 21.20% of them do the recycling together with other management activities such as source reduction, incineration and Sanitary Land fill. About 1.51% of industrial units have incinerated their Solid Wastes but no precise control is made on air pollution. In summary the industrial units under study in Industrial Estate of Rasht produce 3903.8 tons of industrial solid wastes per year and 217.2 tons of House-hold solid wastes per year. According to the obtained results, upon development of industrial activities in factories and increase of the number of staffs, the volume of produced solid wastes will increase in future. Accumulation of these wastes in the Industrial Estate will create undesirable environmental effects and more consumption of resources. By applying an integrated solid waste management system in Industrial Estate of Rasht, production of solid waste is decreased and increasing industrial development will be maintained.

During the last couple of decades, some factors such as population growth, need for higher levels of employment, limitations of agriculture sector and search for new activities have necessitated establishing and expanding industrial activities in Iran. An industrial estate, as one of the most suitable ways of optimal application of geographic space, is a place for the concentration of productive and industrial units. Good decisions about expanding and managing these estates require reliable spatial data. Therefore, to have a proper management and to obtain the organizational objectives of industrial estates in Iran, there is a need to create reliable databases containing spatial data. Implementation of modern information systems such as GIS to storing, analyzing, displaying and updating spatial data related to industrial estates of Iran is an advantage and any delay to apply this technology can lead to increase the executive and managerial costs. Kermanshah is one of 31 provinces of Iran located in west of the country and does have several industrial estates. It seems that establishing an information system based on GIS is a necessity for each. This paper, first introduces the industrial estate of Faraman in Kermanshah city which contains 160 productive and industrial units. Then how a geographic information system is designed and applied to this estate is discussed in details. The methodology of this study comprises: 1- collecting all required spatial data, 2- conducting focus groups include managers and knowledgeable individuals, 3- digitizing required maps, 4- providing a comprehensive list of all possible data and transferring them into a Geo_Database, 5- entering data into computer and 6- linking spatial and aspatial data. Although the final investigation about success of geographic information system for the industrial estate of Faraman has not yet reached enough time, the introductory surveys among managers and executive personnel of the estate indicate a new and better situation of managing the estate when they use GIS. The success of this experience can be shared with other industrial estates of Kermanshah province and even other estates in elsewhere of Iran.

Cumulative effects assessment of development on environment studies the kind of impacts of projects that were ignored in environmental assessment directly. CEA, as an act, is a method to distinguish this point. Although some separate actions may individually do not have a significant impact, but when they are combined the impacts may be significant. Industrial estate of Sepehr is located in geographical position of 50° 35' eastern longitude and 35° 58' northern latitude of Nazar Abad County. Close to this industrial estate, there is industrial estate of Nazar Abad, which is under construction. The area of this industrial estate is 194 hectares. At first environmental conditions of Nazar Abad County and in possible cases the locations of industrial estates were described. Then prediction and assessment of impacts which accrued from construction and operation of industrial estates on surrounded environment to borderlines of pointed County were investigated. For cumulative environmental effects assessment the Monavari Method (2001) was used and 2 alternatives, "No action alternative" and "with project alternative" were considered. In "No action alternative", just environmental impacts which occurred by development activities with assumption of not implementing Nazar Abad industrial estate project and in "with project alternative" cumulative impacts which were accrued by activities of Nazar Abad and Sepehr industrial estate projects were investigated. Result of weighting indicated that "No action alternative", 139 positive impacts and 120 negative impacts and in "with project option" 216 positive impacts and 143 negative impacts will affect the environment. In "No action alternative", algebraic summation of averages score impacts in construction and operational phases were -1.78 and in "with action alternative" average score impacts +2.04 were achieved. "With action alternative" in the proposal site was considered as the best alternative, but project implementation is upon a condition that obeys the proposals for decreasing the negative environmental effects seriously and impacts and implements the management programs, monitoring and environmental education.

Industrialization plays a major role in the economic and social development of rural communities. In the process of industrial development, industrial estates is recognized as one of the strategies for development of rural communities. The aim of this study was to identify and evaluate the effects of social and economic dimension of phase one and two industrial estates on rural areas in Urmia city. The research method is quasi-experimental which has been evaluated using a post-test design of two experimental and control groups. The statistical population includes village's adjacent to the industrial estates (Ghahramanlou Sofla, Ilyas Abad and Jarchilo) and non-adjacent areas of the industrial estate (Keshtiban, Miyavogh and Tazekend). The results showed that the two areas study, namely the villages adjacent to the industrial estates and the villages far from the industrial estates are different in terms of economic and social consequences. In terms of economic impacts, the average of adjacent villages (economic improvement (30/6), employment (13/5), job satisfaction (7)) was more than villages far from the estates (economic improvement (25.8), employment (10/8), job satisfaction (5/9). This difference was made significant by using the values of the t-test of two independent samples. In general, the average of this variable was evaluated in the villages adjacent to the town (51/1) and in the villages far from the town (42/6). The results also show the impact of the industrial estates on the dimensions of social consequences in the sense that, along with the decrease in migration and increase in the quality of life in the villages adjacent to the estate, enhancement of social harms is also observed in these villages.

There are a number of issues that complicate adopting appropriate policies in relation to industrial development. These issues include an uneven distribution of the population across the country, an accelerated rate of urbanization, and environmental degradation as a result of poor site location. An appropriate site location in accordance with industrial principles is a significant step towards improving the environment, nation-wide industrial development and also principled and logical rural and urban growth.
This research uses the high capabilities of GIS systems in collecting, analyzing, and managing data. Digital maps and environmental criteria were obtained from executive departments and field trips. Using the Boolean Method at the scale of 1:250,000, the researchers combined the maps that provide limitations to evaluate the environmental implication of industrial estates in Qom Province.
In Stage Two, overlaying the maps of the current industrial estates with those maps of the limitations indicated that Shokohiyeh Industrial Estate has no limitation (except the southern part of it). The second phase of 325 hectare was fully covered with the limitation map and the 1000-hectare development plan was located to be in the permissible zone. The current developmental phases of Mahmoodabad Industrial estate are located in the permissible area. Also, the current location of Salafchegan Industrial Estate is sporadically located in the prohibited areas.
Given the above research the location of Shokohiyeh and Salafchegan industrial estates is not appropriate. This requires the industrial units to firmly adhere to environmental principles particularly those related to pollutant units in Salafchegan. Although the location of Mahmoodabad Industrial estate appears to be appropriate, it is still very important to supervise the environmental impact of these units in reducing the pollution.

Contamination of the environment due to heavy metals is a major concern to human life and the environment. This study was conducted to investigate and quantify the copper and zinc concentrations in industrial estates soil in Arak, Iran. Four industrial estates were considered for the experimental design, including Arak 1, Arak 2, Arak 3, and Ghotbe Sanaati. For preliminary understanding of soil heavy metals pollution in industrial estates, the concentrations of zinc and copper in the soil are analyzed and investigated to evaluate their concentration and environmental quality based on the contamination factor. The results indicated the soils had been polluted by heavy metals due to industrial processes that concentrate these metals in the soil. Copper concentrations varied from 15.69 to 49.55 mg/kg. Zinc concentrations were found to be between 23.02 and 144.17 mg/kg. The highest concentration of Zn was found in Arak 3 region which may be due to industrial activities while the highest concentration of Cu was observed in the soil of Arak 1 region that may be due to proximity of this industrial estate to Arak city. The findings of the contamination factor showed that the heavy metals are accumulated in the soil of industrial estates that are considered low risk for contamination with zinc and copper. The achievements of this research showed the location of the industrial estate, proximity to highways and main roads, and the area of green space of industrial estates are important factors in determining heavy metals concentration.

Presenting environmental planning strategies in Shams Abad and Abbas Abad industrial Estates to implement the indicators of good governance principles in their management is important. So far, environmental management in none of the industrial Estates of Tehran province has been fully studied in the main areas of the environment. Major researchers in the environment have announced the causes of pollution, environmental management, industry, the establishment of industrial estates, strategic management and the principles of good governance in urban management and so on. In this researche, first the identification, evaluation and analysis of the current situation of industrial estates and then the questionnaire was completed by some professors, specialists, managers and experts, the data were reviewed and finally strategies were developed by SWOT model and with The QSPM model identified the top strategies. This article tries to analyze the effects of developing environmental planning strategies for industrial towns in Tehran province by combining the principles of sustainable development and good governance. The results indicate that in addition to clarifying the need to recognize good governance for managers, how to use it to achieve a sustainable environment is essential together.
