چکیده مقاله:

Granted that causing welfare increases in urban areas, industrial Revolution has started to exhaust and destroy the environment terribly.

However there is an increasing recognition of the need to protect environment, losses and degradations have continued in all over the world. One reason is that economic values of environment do not take part in the economic decision processes; as a result, a number of methods were improved to value environmental goods to integrate inside the economic decision process in the developing world.
