The purpose of this study was to investigate the impact of augmented reality technology based environmental literacy training program on the knowledge, attitude and behavior of high school students. The population of this study consisted of all high school students of Tehran who were studying in the year 1396-97. The sample was selected by non-random sampling method and divided into two groups of 20 (experimental and control groups). The research method was quasi-experimental (pretest-posttest with control group). First, the environmental literacy test was used as a pre-test. Then the mobile tools were provided to the experimental group to perform augmented reality, and control group were presented in the traditional environment. After completing the teaching process in both groups, the environmental literacy questionnaire was used again, and its results were compared. Covariance analysis and multivariate analysis of variance were used for data analysis. The results showed that environmental literacy education based on augmented reality technology had a positive effect on the knowledge, attitude and environmental behavior of high school students and it can be used as a useful tool in education.

Regarding to the role of higher education in the training of specialists, paying attention to environmental education in specialized fields, especially industries related to industry, is one of the responsibilities of this institution. However, in Iranian higher education, attention to such trainings is not desirable and in the curriculum of most disciplines, it is not considered. Therefore, the main purpose of this study was to identify and prioritize the needs of environmental education for students of industrial engineering and industrial management. The research method is mixed exploratory-sequential and for this purpose, first with qualitative methods to study the needs and components of environmental education of the desired fields through interviews with 9 professors and content analysis of the topics of the desired fields in 8 universities in Other countries were discussed. Then, the components obtained from the qualitative stage were summarized and combined and provided to 60 experts for prioritization. The data were analyzed using chi-square test and Friedman test and the needs were prioritized. The results show that the components of knowledge and general issues of environment and industry and environmental considerations in the supply chain are in a higher priority than other components.

Education is a major factor in agricultural development. Specialist and researcher training is the most important factor in the development of organic farming. This manpower can include all the actors involved in this agricultural system. The purpose of this study was to identify factors affecting the educational requirements of organic farming from the perspective of agricultural experts. The statistical population of this study was Experts of East Azarbaijan Agriculture Jihad Organization (N = 837). For this statistical population, using the Krejcie and Morgan table, a sample size of 264 was determined. To reduce the error and the coverage of unanswered questionnaires, the number was increased to 310 and were studied by simple random sampling. Questionnaire was the main tool for data collection in this study. Validity of the questionnaire was confirmed by faculty members of Tehran University and its reliability was confirmed by ordinal theta coefficient. Factor analysis results showed that the factors affecting the educational requirements of organic farming development can be summarized in six policy, management, research, extension, agronomic and consumption factors. These factors together explained for 58 percent of the variance in the variables affecting the educational requirements of organic farming development. Based on the results, the establishment of training courses in Integrated Pest Management (IPM), agricultural marketing, agricultural entrepreneurship with organic farming focus, as well as further research on reducing the cost of producing organic products are suggested.

The present study addresses the issue of spatial justice in the distribution of urban services in the neighborhoods from selected districts of Tehran. In this descriptive-analytical study, In the first part, some homogeneous neighborhoods were selected through K-means clustering. Afterward, once weighed by the Shannon entropy model, these neighborhoods were evaluated in terms of service distribution using the VIKOR model and then were ranked. Moreover, In the second part, citizens' quality of life in these neighborhoods was assessed by designing a questionnaire that used correlation and regression analysis to compare the distribution of services and quality of life. The two methods yielded different results for ranking of the neighborhoods, which showed that per capita quantification alone does not meet the needs of citizens to achieve sustainable neighborhoods. The obtained results indicated that the per capita services cannot lonely meet the citizens' needs and justice is indeed the allocation of services proportionate to the individuals' conditions. Therefore, meeting the citizens' needs requires appropriate mechanisms and planning that should be organized and handled by urban management.

According to the preamble to the Statute of the International Criminal Court, international crimes are crimes that cause for concern the international community. Accordingly, four international crimes have been counted and specified in the statutes. This research, which is of analytical-descriptive type and with library-documentary method, seeks to provide a strategy for environmental protection.The environment is a common heritage of humanity, and almost all countries suffer as a result of the damage it suffers. Since the Rio 1992 Convention, which linked sustainable development to the environment, the importance of paying attention to the environment has increased. Consideration should be given to recognizing environmental crimes as international crimes so that the International Criminal Court can have jurisdiction over them.this study seeks to answer the question that considering the principle of sustainable development and its necessities, how is it possible to criminalize environmental crimes in the category of international crimes? In other words, how is it possible to develop the concept of international crime into environmental crimes? And what is the relationship between sustainable development and the environment? Research findings indicate that according to several provisions of the Rome Statute of 1998, it is possible to develop the concept of international crime not only to environmental crime but also to other crimes, so in order to make it operational, research efforts must be paved and environmental protection Institutionalized.

Regarding the negative effects of overuse of pesticides on human health and the environment, in recent years, sustainable and green methods for pests control especially biological control have been considered by many researchers. However, due to the existence of various barriers, the process of adoption and usage of biological control methods is very slow among farmers. Given the importance of the subject, the main purpose of this study was to analyze farmers’ barriers in using Habrobracon hebetor to control tomato Heliothis spp. in Tarom County. Methodologically, this study was a descriptive-correlational research. The statistical population of the study was 1666 tomato producers in Tarom County in Zanjan Province. Based on the Bartlett et al. (2001) formula, 330 producers were selected by the stratified sampling method for doing the study. A research-made questionnaire was used to collect the data. The validity of the questionnaire was confirmed by a panel of experts and specialists. A pilot study was conducted to establish reliability of the instrument, which the calculated Cronbach alpha's coefficient for the main scale of questionnaire was appropriate (above 0.75). Collected data were analyzed using the SPSSWin22 software. The results of a factor analysis revealed that the farmers’ barriers in using Habrobracon hebetor to control tomato Heliothis spp. in Tarom County were categorized into five factors including, financial-economic barriers, psychological-social barriers, cognitive-informational weakness, supportive weakness and technical constraints and these factors, in total, explained 68.73% of variances of the barriers.
