Environmental issues are not unique to a particular community or geographic location but are transnational. As a result, it is clear that the problems that arise in any part of the earth can have different consequences elsewhere. Today's environmental crisis is due to a lack of knowledge and awareness of environmental issues. According to Fritiov, educating environmental consciousness is the first step towards sustainability and is essentially a prerequisite for humanity's future environmental awareness, the ability to understand the principles of environmental knowledge and to live by them. One of the basic assumptions in environmental studies is that many environmental problems can be resolved by increasing public awareness about the environment. In other words, environmental awareness is believed to be the key to solving many environmental problems as a result of sustainable development. Villages as one of the places to live due to their special proximity to nature, have the greatest impact on the environment and also receive the most impact from the environment; Have an important role and impact on the environment. For this reason, today's awareness of environmental issues as one of the most important programs in countries, especially developing countries, is being addressed in order to achieve sustainable environmental development.
