Abstract

Introduction: Despite the history of development of legislative measures in the field of the environment of Iran, the environmental situation of the country based on the Environmental Performance Index, Global Footprint Network and World Bank criteria is significantly different from the goal of a Desirable Environment set out in the Iran's 20-year vision document.4 In seeking the reason, this paper perspective seeks to prioritize and explain the challenges of ENVIRONMENTAL POLICY making in the Islamic Republic of Iran from a PUBLIC POLICY in the first phase of the Jones staged model. In a staged model, the performance of Government and decision makers are ideally divided into five stages: the process of recognizing the problem; its inclusion on the governmental agenda (agenda setting); the stage of proposing a solution (formulation); the decision-making stage; and the implementation and evaluation stage (Vahid, 2004).Materials and methods: The focus of this paper is on the pathology of the recognition and inclusion of the problem in the Government’s agenda. What is meant by this is a process by which ideas and issues are raised through various political institutions in order to be taken into consideration by a political entity such as the legislative or judicial body. Although there are few places - such as the legislature, the judiciary or the regulatory Commission - that are able formally to formulate policy timetables (agendas), there are countless sources from which the subjects of these timetables are derived (Shafritz and Borick, 2012). Considering the nature and limitations of the literature in our country, the mixed method and exploratory sequential designs were selected from among existing research methodologies. In this formulation of the research project, first the collection and analysis of data is undertaken qualitatively and then quantitatively and, ultimately, interpreted simultaneously. The main use of this type of research project is to investigate an issue deeply or forthe first time for which the researcher does not have a guideline framework or a measurement tool (Creswell, 2003).Results and discussion: Findings of the research showed that the main challenges of ENVIRONMENTAL POLICY-making in identifying the problem and placing it in the agenda, leading to the decline of quantitative and qualitative indices of the country's vital resources are: prioritizing the country's issues on the basis of economic, political and security considerations (rather than environmental ones); poor citizen and interest group participation in identifying and prioritizing local needs; weak coordination by the intergovernmental organizations and government agencies responsible for and influential in environmental issues; the neglect of local communities of the benefits of sustainable development and a focus on growth-oriented and short-term demands; lack of bottom-to-top mechanisms to express the real public concerns to be included in the ENVIRONMENTAL POLICY timetable; the lack of information and accurate statistics on the status quo and future environmental trends; and the lack of attention paid to communication channels, such as the media and the press, to transfer issues to higher levels for inclusion in the agenda.Conclusion: Improving Iran's environmental indicators based on the Environmental Performance Index, Global Footprint Network and World Bank criteria with the goal of achieving a desirable environment in the 2020 vision document requires solving the challenges associated with setting the agenda.
