Introduction

Abstract

In order to conquer poverty, raise social welfare and secure political stability, most governments in developing countries have promoted economic development through industrialization. In the process whereby developing countries achieve economic development through industrialization, environmental problems arise in various forms and the government, companies and citizens in each country are compelled to find countermeasures. Responses to environmental problems often involve trade-offs with the policy that promotes economic development. Fundamentally, economic development policies are, in many cases, major factors in the cause of environmental problems.
