If we know that a complex process is the result of the interaction of the elements related to the movement of society, which causes quantitative and qualitative changes to the lives of people in a certain period of time, and the concept of development has expanded from just focusing on economic growth, to become part of the process of continuous and sustainable development, sustainable development is a A process that expands options for people by placing people at the center of the development process And making them its goal and subject, just as it calls for the protection of human choices for future and present generations. These choices include a long and healthy life, acquiring knowledge and having access to the resources necessary to enjoy an adequate standard of living, in addition to political freedom, enjoyment of human rights and self-respect.
