Abstract: (91 Views)
Environmental justice means the pursuit of justice and equal protection, based on the law, in all environmental conditions without discrimination based on race, ethnicity, or the economic and social status of individuals. In the urban planning system, it is very important to identify the factors that play a role in realizing environmental justice; Therefore, the present study was conducted with the aim of analyzing the effect of good urban governance indicators on the state of environmental justice in Mashhad. The research method in this research is descriptive, analytical and based on documentary and library studies. In the field section, a questionnaire with 37 items in eight indicators was designed and after verifying validity and reliability (Cronbach's alpha = 0.95), it was distributed among a statistical sample of 384 citizens of the thirteen districts of Mashhad. Data analysis was done using statistical tests in SPSS software and spatial analysis in GIS.The findings show that the indicators of good urban governance, including participation, legality, accountability, and transparency, are below the standard level (average of 3) in most areas of Mashhad, and this has had a negative impact on environmental justice. Only seven and eleven regions performed well in some indicators. The future path suggests that urban management promotes environmental justice by focusing on increasing public participation and transparency.
