Abstract
In today's world, in line with social, cultural and economic changes and scientific and technological advances, the issue of sustainable development has become one of the main criteria in the design of urban spaces. The question now is whether government supervision provides the way to achieve sustainable development in the city of Ilam. In what way can government supervision (governorship) guide the city of Ilam towards sustainable development? It seems that government supervision through its governmental and non-governmental components (sub-complexes) such as (municipality, NGOs, social, economic, political, cultural, and environmental institutions, etc.) helps the city of Ilam to achieve sustainable development. The present study is of an applied type and has been developed with a combined method (qualitative-quantitative) and with a descriptive-analytical approach. The purpose of the study is to identify the role of government supervision in realizing the components of sustainable development in the city of Ilam. The research findings show that there is a significant relationship between the government oversight infrastructures affiliated with the Ilam Governorate and non-governmental institutions such as associations and mass media with the components of sustainable development of Ilam city. Therefore, the author was able to conceptualize and test the interaction model between non-governmental organizations and the government sector in the vice-presidencies of the Ilam Governorate by using the results of this research and also examining other related studies.
