Good governance, by providing space for participatory processes, is a good platform for strengthening civil society alongside government and the private sector in governing countries. Meanwhile, NGOs, as an important part of civil society, are trying to fill government loopholes in geographical areas. In the discussion of non-governmental organizations, we can point to their importance as one of the key players for achieving good governance in the context of promoting social capital. The present study, which is a descriptive-comparative study, compares the components of good governance (with those of accountability, transparency, accountability and rule of law) by non-governmental organizations and local governments in Iran. The sample size of the study was 296 people (157 members of NGOs and 140 members of local government) who were selected through available sampling and snowball. The results showed that the NGOs have performed better than the local government in achieving the components of good governance. The components of good governance were significantly related to the control indicators of poverty, corruption, and the elimination of discrimination and inequality, which is a great goal to be achieved through the active performance of non-governmental organizations.

Water, soil, pasture, forest, etc. are a valuable divine deposit for the people of any society and the national wealth of that society, which not only should be tried to preserve and protect these national assets, but should By adopting principled, technical, and regenerative exploitation policies, it passed on these most precious sources of life to future generations. With the increasing power of technologies in the exploitation of natural resources, the environmental-environmental balance in recent centuries has been disturbed to the detriment of nature, which has created miserable and sometimes irreparable conditions and is referred to as the crisis of natural resources and the environment. It becomes. Today, the international community sees the solution to this dilemma as protecting the environment, and in doing so, wants to know how it can draw on religious teachings in this important matter. The mentioned research seeks to answer this question by descriptive-analytical method. The results show that in order to get rid of the current environmental crisis, we must refer to moral principles and religious texts, especially Islam, because the basis of the crisis in renewable natural resources is the moral crisis among humans and attention to the fundamental values of Islam. Due to its divine and moral support, it plays a key role in the sustainability and protection of the environment and renewable natural resources.
