| Summary: | Iran is currently implementing a
five-year project, co-financed by the World Bank, aims: a)
to strengthen the institutional capacity to monitor air and
water quality, b) to build partnerships among ministries,
universities, municipalities and civil societies, and c) to
strengthen training and public awareness on environmental
issues. These studies reveal some factors such as age and
education are consistently related to environmentalism over
time and across studies. This publication reports the main
findings of a survey conducted on the perception, knowledge,
and behavior of Tehran residents, relating to the
environment. The study confirms the need for a properly
focused information campaign to raise the level of knowledge
about the environment and to form the consciousness that
could motivate people to act or to accept the changes
imposed by the authorities. The study also found several
information channels need to be used in order to reach
different groups of Tehran residents. |
