Abstract
 
The main aim of this research was to model the drivers of air pollution in Tehran using the Interpretive-Structural Modeling approach. For this, drivers causing air pollution in Tehran were determined by referring to experts' opinions and using the interpretative structural approach. Then, the influence and dependence of the drivers were assessed using the MICMAC Model. According to the results, the general policies of the government at seventh level located at the lowest level, followed by government interventions on the sixth level, the officials supporting the environment and research and development on the fifth level, innovations in urban management on the fourth level, monitoring the production of pollutants and population growth in the third level, reforming the consumption pattern on the second level, and finally, the number of vehicles, energy price, quality of industries, and clean energy investment were placed at the one level. This research used a structural-interpretive approach, a soft research method in operations, to understand and structure the problem and answer the research question. Furthermore, influential and dependent driving forces were identified so that any change in influential driving forces would lead to changes in dependent driving forces, and the tangible effects of changes on dependent driving forces would be demonstrated. These drivers were used to solve the air pollution problem and pave the way to reaching favorable air quality conditions in Tehran.
