Abstract :
Today, issues such as population growth and climate change have greatly affected societies in the optimal use of natural resources while maintaining and improving the quality of life. Meanwhile, infrastructures are at the heart of this challenge. In such conditions, building infrastructure facilities and improving the quality of existing infrastructures is a critical issue, and Iran is not exempt from these conditions. In this regard, it is necessary to find ways to minimize the negative effects of development on the environment and affected communities. Sustainability rating and evaluation systems can play an important role in moving towards sustainability. Therefore, the current research aims to respond to the need to extend the life span and improve the performance quality of the infrastructure in Iran, and has sought to evaluate the infrastructure of the inter-city transportation sector from the perspective of sustainability. The evaluation is based on the Envision evaluation system for the projects of the Khorasan Razavi Department of Roads and Urban Development. The collected data were analyzed using SPSS. According to the results, 5 indicators of quality of life, project management, resource allocation, natural environment and climate and resilience are important. The analysis of the obtained data showed that among the 14 sub-indicators of the evaluation system, for the projects of the General Administration of Roads and Urbanization of Khorasan Razavi, the sub-indicators of economy and society have the most impact and the sub-indicator of pollutants have the least impact. Finally, the criteria of each of these sub-indices were prioritized.
