Abstract
Today, attention to the issue of industrial ecology in the world has become very high and significant, but in Iran this attention does not exist and is only a slogan and preliminary studies. The purpose of this study is to investigate these conditions and provide a structure and model for the implementation of industrial ecology in Iran. Industrial estates are one of the major centers of producing energy and industrial waste in the country. Developing Industrial Ecology (IE) faces significant obstacles. This study evaluates the barriers due to a combination model, including the DPSIR and Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process (FAHP). It prioritizes the responses and alternatives regarding the driving forces, pressures, states, and impacts (criteria). In this study, different responses for IE development in Iran were evaluated and prioritized based on different indicators classified based on DPSIR and FAHP techniques and models. The results suggest prioritizing future IE development in Iran based on current infrastructure and conditions. To compare the analysis of two fuzzy numbers, a new division method based on a comparative example is used; to confirm the proposed method, a comparative example is described and presented. According to the field studies and research background of the research, the number of "18 criteria" and "four responses" were suggested. Finally, improving IE legal is the first step of modifying the industries clustering system, establishing IE national database and industries training. According to the identified priorities, practical suggestions for the development of Iran's industrial environmental model within the framework of legal requirements, infrastructure and regulations that should be developed or updated, were presented and the duties of relevant legal agencies were identified and proposed.
