Abstract:

The management of the quality of air pollution in Tabriz, Iran, is a major environmental problem in this city. The local authorities have dispersedly executed some projects to address the problem of air pollution so far, while controlling the air pollution requires a strategic planning and management. This paper intends to address the requirements needed for the environment management in Tabriz. The first part of this paper briefly surveys the air pollution in Tabriz, and then the participating body to carry out the research in the process of planning the strategic management is introduced. To determine the basic information and to provide the necessary matrixes, the Delphi method, a questionnaire and interviews are employed. In this research, the External Factor Evaluation Matrix (EFE), Internal Factor Evaluation Matrix (IFE), Strengths – Weakness – Opportunities – Threats Matrix (SWOT), and Quantitative Strategic Planning Matrix (QSPM) are provided to plan the quantitative planning of the strategic management of the air in Tabriz. Finally doing the tests Kolmogorov-Smirnov with an analysis of variance, mean comparison and using the software SPSS and Mtb, the priority of the strategies are determined through summing up and analysis. It was found that the high quantity of the degree of attractiveness of a strategy does not imply its priority. This paper offers a model for the assessment and management strategies to determine the air quality control in Tabriz. This model can be used to determine the proper strategy for the other cities with the air pollution and urban management.
