Industrial parks play a vital role in national economic development, offering a competitive edge and fostering urban growth. However, their presence also raises concerns about environmental and social impacts. Factories and manufacturing operations within these parks can harm surrounding ecosystems, and despite existing laws and building codes, compliance is often undermined by management practices. Typically, implementation guidelines are only revisited following environmental crises, limiting their preventive effectiveness.
This study introduces a standardized assessment tool designed to evaluate infrastructure planning and environmental compliance in industrial parks. The tool applies specific criteria and a systematic scoring process to establish the current operational conditions of two selected industrial parks. By comparing actual conditions against established standards, the tool provides an empirical basis for evaluation.
Findings revealed significant gaps between compliance requirements and actual practices, underscoring the need for stronger strategies to enhance environmental performance. The results demonstrate the tool's efficacy and viability, offering a framework to promote sustainable development within industrial parks and address pressing urban and environmental challenges.
