In recent decades, Chabahar city has faced many problems and issues such as environmental pollution, reduction of ecological power, environmental issues, increasing burden on the environment, increasing the formation of informal settlements (more than 50 thousand people), etc. has been faced that has affected the environmental sustainability of the city. In this regard, this research was conducted with the aim of investigating the status of environmental sustainability indicators in Chabahar city. First, desk researches were conducted in order to know the dimensions, indicators and variables of environmental sustainability, and according to the collected information, indicators and criteria were identified according to the state of Chabahar city, and finally 21 variables in the form of 5 indicators were identified as indicators and criteria. The environmental sustainability of Chabahar city was identified and it was designed in the form of a mutual influence questionnaire and sent to 10 experts. The data were collected and analyzed with MICMAC software. According to the practical purpose of this research, which is to use the results of this research by other researchers and departments of Chabahar city, we tried to identify and use the factors that were known as key factors due to their flexibility and effect on other factors, and be further analyzed. The results obtained from the measurement of environmental sustainability indicators of Chabahar city indicate instability in the city's environmental condition, but the placement of 15 variables out of 21 environmental sustainability variables in the range of key factors shows a place for hope because these variables have flexibility and the power to change. There are other variables that should be considered by city planners. Vegetation; liquefaction and landslides; Drought; presence of water and wind erosion; Soil erosion; flooding; the presence of loose sand dunes in the southeast; The absence of underground water tables and their insignificant exploitation; The emergence and growth of informal settlements in Chabahar city; limited surface water resources; restriction of physical growth in the directions of the west, south and north; Vulnerability of the city's lands and the city's two piers against tsunami due to the increase in the height of the waves; earthquake; Storm; The ratio of durable buildings to the total building were selected as key factors in this research. The vegetation variable has the highest direct and indirect effect, which indicates the very important role of this factor in the environmental sustainability of Chabahar city, which is affected by the climate of the region and the poverty of water resources, and has caused it to be poor in terms of greenness and greenness and cover Plants in this city are only linear along the traffic axes and in the form of spots in the form of a park.
