Educational Interventions for Waste Separation in Iran: A Systematic Review

Source separation is one of the most cost-effective and sustainable approaches to urban waste management. This approach increases the recycling of useful materials, reduces environmental pollution, and improves the quality of life for residents of urban communities. This systematic review was conducted to identify and explain interventions related to source separation of waste by reviewing published research in Iran from ۱۹۸۰ to ۲۰۲۴, providing a comprehensive view of the current situation in the country. The systematic search and review procedure was conducted according to the PRISMA guidelines. Up-to-date data were obtained by executing queries in international databases, including Google Scholar, PubMed, Scopus, and Embase, as well as domestic databases such as Magiran and SID, from their inception up to July ۲۸, ۲۰۲۴. Ultimately, ۳۳ studies that met the inclusion criteria were reviewed; these were conducted between ۲۰۱۲ and ۲۰۲۳ across ۲۰ provinces of Iran and focused on source separation education methods. Of the ۳۳ studies, ۱۵ (۴۵.۴۵%) were descriptive, while ۱۸ (۵۴.۵۴%) were interventional. The total number of participants included in these studies was ۱۵,۵۸۸
