Abstract

 
Introduction: Sustainable development is a new field that deals with socio-cultural policies and mechanisms, economic prosperity,trade and industry, protection of the environment and coexistence with nature, and attention to equal human rights in the domestic and international arenas. The purpose of this paper is to provide a favorable model for the sustainable development of the iron and steel industry using Grounded data approach.
Methodology:  This research was conducted using a mixed method. In the qualitative phase, using the Grounded data technique, a model for sustainable development for the steel industry was designed and presented. In a quantitative phase, the structural equation technique was used to analyze the data and explain the relationship between the components. In collecting information, two library methods such as reading and reviewing books, articles, seminars, conferences were used to extract concepts. In the interview section, most of the concepts have been extracted, relying on university professors and industry experts.
 Results and Discussion: The components of the extracted concept diagram include: supply of raw materials, development projects, integrated materials management, energy, market, economic and political conditions of the country and human resources - education, finance, logistics, technology, macro-industry, community and environment - health.
Conclusion: Therefore, one of the important ways to achieve sustainable development, effective management and support of this industry in the country, management of supply of raw materials and strategic materials, environmental protection, the importance of employment and optimal use of resources.
