Abstract

The current research aims to measure the different dimensions of renewable energy policy implementation and compare these dimensions with each other, focusing on Iran's agricultural sector. This analysis makes it possible to identify the strengths and weaknesses in implementing existing policies. The five dimensions include “organizational and institutional”, “incentives”, “investment”, “infrastructure”, and “human resources development”. The statistical population of this research comprised energy policy experts, whose number was 85. The sampling method was random, and 70 persons participated in answering the questionnaire using the Karjesi and Morgan table. A questionnaire was used to collect data. The reliability of the questionnaire was calculated using Cronbach's alpha (0.916). Face validity, content validity ratio (CVR), and content validity index (CVI) were applied to determine validity. In the calculation of CVR, values ≥ 0.33 were considered reasonable and appropriate to confirm each item. All CVI values obtained were higher than 0.79. Multi-criteria analysis was used to analyze the data. The results indicated that organizational and institutional policies were at the highest level of unsustainability. The dimension of investment policies showed less unsustainability than other dimensions. The other three dimensions also showed significant deficiencies. It seems that policy development to eliminate the diversity and interference of organizations, fuel subsidies revision, market policy development, attracting capital, and participation of stakeholders is necessary to reduce unsustainability in this field. The development of the resources of expert forces and attention to educational policies should also be considered.

衡量和比较农业部门实施可再生能源政策的不同方面

目前的研究旨在衡量可再生能源政策实施的不同方面，并将这些方面相互比较，重点是伊朗的农业部门。通过分析，可以找出现有政策实施的优缺点。这五个方面包括 "组织和制度"、"激励措施"、"投资"、"基础设施 "和 "人力资源开发"。本研究的统计对象包括能源政策专家，人数为 85 人。抽样方法为随机抽样，共有 70 人参与了问卷调查，采用的是卡尔杰西和摩根表格。问卷用于收集数据。问卷的可靠性使用 Cronbach's alpha（0.916）进行计算。面效度、内容效度比（CVR）和内容效度指数（CVI）用于确定效度。在计算 CVR 时，≥ 0.33 的值被认为是合理和适当的，可以确认每个项目。所有 CVI 值均高于 0.79。数据分析采用了多重标准分析法。结果表明，组织和机构政策的不可持续性水平最高。与其他维度相比，投资政策维度的不可持续性较低。其他三个维度也显示出明显的不足。看来，要降低该领域的不可持续性，必须制定政策以消除组织的多样性和干扰、修订燃料补贴、制定市场政策、吸引资本和利益相关者的参与。此外，还应考虑开发专家资源和关注教育政策。

期刊介绍： Studies directed toward the more effective utilization of existing resources, e.g. mathematical programming models of health care delivery systems with relevance to more effective program design; systems analysis of fire outbreaks and its relevance to the location of fire stations; statistical analysis of the efficiency of a developing country economy or industry. Studies relating to the interaction of various segments of society and technology, e.g. the effects of government health policies on the utilization and design of hospital facilities; the relationship between housing density and the demands on public transportation or other service facilities: patterns and implications of urban development and air or water pollution. Studies devoted to the anticipations of and response to future needs for social, health and other human services, e.g. the relationship between industrial growth and the development of educational resources in affected areas; investigation of future demands for material and child health resources in a developing country; design of effective recycling in an urban setting.
