In recent years, due to destruction and depletion of the special natural resources and for the prevention of excessive depletions and conservation of the present resources, most of the communities are tended to the training methods which are necessary for sustainable conservation. So, the objective of this study is evaluating environmental considerations in the informal trainings which are provided for eco-tour leaders of Guilan and assessing their conformity with the environmental standards and finally measuring the effectiveness of trainings and their effect on eco-tour leaders. The target population was the eco-tour leaders of Guilan which were 50 people. Initially, a questionnaire was prepared on the base of environmental content of training courses for data collection. The prepared questionnaire was included 30 questions which were related to before and after training courses. Then data were analyzed using the statistical methods. Results showed that the content of training, regarding to the existence of environmental knowledge, is acceptable to some extent, but the most weaknesses of the eco-tour leaders were the less information about the environmental regulations and laws after training courses. Finally, according to the education and age level of eco-tour leaders and prospering presence and participation of women in the field of tourism and training contents, it become possible that more specialized concepts and laws would be presented in the training courses which led the increase of the courses feedback and improving the tourism and ecotourism industry in the short term.

In this research, First use of countries of Internet technology in various cases has analyzed. Then with the analysis of the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, threats (SWOT), the effects of technology on environment sustainable development is investigated. Results showed that these effects are both positive and negative. For example, the possibility of monitoring the environment, creating a smart grid systems, the possibility of digital download to reducion traditional physical products and lifestyle changes (green consumerism) are the positive effects and the high energy consumption of hosting equipment of data centers of ICT, waste electronics, harmful emission are the negative effects of using ICT in the process of sustainable development. Generally correct use of information and communication technology causes promotion of environmental planning and management capacity, natural disaster management, increasing energy efficiency on a global scale, the emergence of "Green Economy" as a new engine of growth economy around the world. On the other hand restricting factors such as access to the technology, the infrastructures and sharing, and security of information, cost and lack of possibility of proper recycling of electronics will prevent you from using all the potentials of this technology. Therefore, use of these technologies with respect to all aspects of cultural, economic, political and social are essential in order to preservation and promotion of environmental quality in line with sustainable development.

A great deal of the country’s energy resources are wasted for a number of reasons including inappropriate technology, low price of energy, and carelessness in energy consumption. Women can change the course of risky behaviors against environment. We decided to inform rural women, of the optimized energy consumption patterns and examine the effect of material and immaterial incentives on them. This was a semi-experimental study. There was no sampling, so all the women of Cheshmeh Sefid village in Kermanshah, who were over 13 years of age and made up a population of 68 women were studied. The instrument of the study was a 23- item questionnaire. Then they were randomly divided into two groups. One group was studied using material and the second used immaterial incentives. Improvement of these women’s awareness proved a positive effect. Regarding the awareness raise, there was no significant difference between learning and the kind of incentive. Material incentives proved to be more effective than immaterial incentives.
