In terms of purpose, this research was applied and in terms of the method of data collection according to the nature of the study, it was qualitative, descriptive, and survey type. The current research is a case study. The research community of Less Developed Rural of Mazandaran province is based on the list of less-developed areas in support matters in 2018. The researchers with the help of provincial trustee institutions such as Mazandaran Governorate updated the said list and expressed the challenges and solutions based on the foundation's data theory method based on the existing situation. In order to collect research data, while comprehensively reviewing the literature on rural development, regional innovation system, and framework related to a sustainable livelihood, through in-depth interviews with 43 scientific and experimental experts in the fields of rural development, the economy of deprived areas, regional innovation system and Also, more than 10 interviews and specialized meetings were held with provincial officials. The findings of the research show that strengthening the role and position of civil institutions in the governance process, using the capacity of cooperative companies by the local community, providing national and media awareness to attract Investment opportunities in the private sector, paying attention to the capacity of the innovation ecosystem, especially from the aspect of financing and modifying the cultivation pattern based on regional natural capabilities and regional capabilities, are among the most important solutions for the economic development of disadvantaged rural areas in Mazandaran province.

This research aims to analyze the regional innovation system in Kurdistan with a structural-functional approach and tries to identify the weaknesses of this system and provide policy recommendations to improve it. The approach of the research is qualitative and in order to collect analysis of interviews of regional experts have been used. The data has been collected in an analytical-descriptive manner through the study of articles, reports, documents, and interviews with experts regarding the innovation system of Kurdistan. The findings of the research show some of the weaknesses of the innovation system of Kurdistan, which can be attributed to structural problems such as weak cooperation and interaction of actors, lack of financial resources for commercialization and innovative activities, lack of access to capable human resources, lack of compatibility between the agricultural sector and water resources. The limited market for innovative products, the lack of suitability of training courses with the advantages and priorities of the province, the low productivity of human resources, and the small scale of enterprises and agricultural units. Focusing on strengthening interactions between actors, creating industrial clusters such as the production of auto parts, and agricultural tools and creating downstream iron industries, aligning research and study activities with the potentials related to the province's border with Iraq, establishing think tanks and action in the field of products Having a competitive advantage such as strawberries and holding technological training can help to improve and promote the regional innovation system of Kurdistan.

Knowledge-based companies are a representative for innovative activities in the region, and its uneven distribution is considered one of the factors of the innovation gap between regions. This research examines the uneven development of knowledge-based companies in the provinces of the country,. In this regard, the functions that are necessary for the formation and growth of knowledge-based activities in the region, were focused on, and the background factors affecting the growth of knowledge-based companies that represent the identified functions was investigated with a quantitative approach. Some of these factors include the share of the province in the number of academic staff, the number of articles, the number of research and development workshops, etc. In the next stage, focusing on the concept of smart specialization, the specialization of the activities of knowledge-based companies was pursued, and based on the conceptual framework of the regional innovation system, the alignment of the actions of the actors of the two sub-systems of knowledge creation and knowledge utilization, as well as the government, was investigated. The data was collected through the library study of official statistics and documents and referring to the website of knowledge-based companies. Finally, based on the findings, suggestions such as defining the human resource exchange mechanism, creating inter-provincial networks, facilitating commercialization, etc. have been presented. For the specialization of knowledge-based activities based on the conditions of the region, targeted and directed support of knowledge-based companies and adjustment in the evaluation method of knowledge-based companies have been emphasized.

According to the evidence, there are unbalanced distributions in different geographical areas in terms of level and type of innovative behavior. Regional innovation system, as one of the theories in this field, considers innovation as a process resulting from various factors inside and outside companies. Researchers and government agencies have provided many models for monitoring their regional innovation systems, taking into account the specific characteristics of each region. In this research, by a comprehensive overview of the regional innovation model, has been tried to provide a model based on the context and conditions of the regions in Iran for monitoring of regional innovation systems. In the first stage, after reviewing the literature, interviewing the experts and then thematic analyzing the content of the obtained data, initial Dimensions and indicators were identified Then, a Fuzzy Delphi technique and a seven-scale questionnaire were used to test the results and expert opinion. Finally, after the extraction and correction of the indicators to evaluate the regional innovation systems, a comprehensive model was identified in 5 dimensions, 20 indicators and 180 sub-indicators. The proposed regional innovation system assessment model consists of firms' behavior and regional interactions, economy, Human Capital, Innovative outputs, Locational Features, that each dimension has its own indicators and sub-indicators, each one is discussed in the paper. Finally, the regional innovation system of Yazd province as a special science and technology region was evaluated using this model. The evaluation results showed that the Locational Features and firms' behavior and regional interactions are in a better position than other dimensions, although the progress rate of all dimensions is less than 50%. Also, according to these results, the dimensions of innovative outputs and economy have the least amount of progress.

"Region" is a concept that plays an important role in the policy-making of the governments of the world. With the changes that have taken place and new technologies, a new type of region is needed today. Regions, as a combination of criteria and elements, can create and continuously improve knowledge enterprises by injecting new ideas, knowledge and organizational learning. Regions must incorporate the principles of knowledge creation and continuous learning to eventually become learning regions. According to the special characteristics of each region of Iran; Innovation has a different effect in each of these areas. To determine the extent of the impact of these systems, it is necessary to evaluate their performance. The authors of this study intend to provide a model for evaluation in accordance with the conditions of the regions in Iran. The proposed regional innovation system evaluation model consists of three levels, each of which evaluates regions from different perspectives. In such a way that the indicators presented in each level are complementary to other levels. First, the general indicators and potentials of each region are identified, and at the third level, the performance of the firm and the system is evaluated and monitored. Finally, using a case study of Isfahan region; Intends to experimentally evaluate the performance of a regional innovation system in Iran.

In order to policy and plan for the development of regions with a focus on local potentials and constraints, the concept of a regional development center has been considered in recent decades. Given the importance of addressing this issue in the Islamic Republic of Iran, this research intends to provide a scientific resource to develop regional development centers by the comparative study of regional development centers and extracting their practical and functional dimensions. In order to achieve this goal, the regional development centers have been addressed from different perspectives such as mission, goals and tasks, initiatives, etc. Also, in order to provide a comprehensive view of the concepts related to the Regional Innovation Center, a text-mining algorithm called word cloud has been used to review the related studies. According to the research results, networking and communication with a focus on local and indigenous institutions, learning and transfer of indigenous knowledge, and technology development and innovation, are the distinguishing features of regional development innovation centers compared to other centers that are active in the field of regional development.

It has been years since innovation was first introduced as a driver of economic development. In addition, after a decade of attention to the regional innovation system policies in the Yazd province, this approach has not shown any positive effect on the development of the province. Thus, this study set out to provide a suitable model for the regional innovation system development in Iran following the investigation of the Yazd province as a case study. To this end, this study used the exploratory factor analysis and relative importance index to identify and analyze the key factors effective on the development of regional innovation system. The findings obtained from the opinions of experts and actors of this field showed that the three factors of human resources; the Science and Technology Park; and growth, innovation, and creativity centers in Yazd Province have the highest importance among all studied factors. This reveals the concentration of finances, policies, and projects on these factors and ignorance of other factors. In the light of the importance and the designated priorities, the factors of innovation system in Yazd province were classified into five groups. These included human and social resources, innovation infrastructure, innovation processes, business dynamics, and endogenous development. It can be concluded that so far, the concentration has been on the elementary stage of regional innovation system model – which essentially functions as the input for the system – and the innovation system in Yazd province is in its early stages. Accordingly to the obtained model of the study, the regional innovation system development in Yazd province needs concentration on the three groups of factors, i.e., innovation processes, business dynamism, and endogenous development.

Due to the complexity of science, technology and innovation system, policymakers and decision-makers are concerned by designing a comprehensive model for policy making in this field. Therefore, it is essential to understand and extract relationships of science, technology and innovation policy indices. The purpose of this research is to identify and establish the link between indices in the form of regional innovation system. For this purpose, in the first step, using the review of the literature of research as well as the use of experts' opinions, the most important dimensions of the model of policymaking of science, technology and innovation were identified. Then, in the next step, interpretive structural modeling technique was used to communicate and sequence between the main dimensions and presenting the relational model. According to the results, 56 indicators in eight main dimensions were ranked in five levels. With the validation of the model, using structural equation modeling, it was determined that the two dimensions of the institutions and resources of science and technology are the basic foundations of science, technology and innovation policy in the special field of science and technology in Yazd province that the policymaking process is practically from these two dimensions of the beginning gets.

Analysis of the regional innovation systems plays a pivotal role in innovation policy to shape innovation conditions as well as create regional advantages. To be successful in developing an innovation system and increasing efficiency, identification and concentration on potentials is crucial. In this paper, based on the the Triple Helix approach (University-Industry-Government), a method is proposed for identification and assesment of key stakeholders of a regional innovation system. The method is applied in analysing stakeholders' interactions in the Rab-e-Rashidi Special Science and Technology Zone in Tabriz. First, stakeholders of the innovation system of East Azerbaijan province are introduced and by using power-interst analysis, key stakeholders are selected. Then, their interactions are analysed and initiatives for the development of the regional innovation system has been suggested. The results show that the most central stakeholders for the development of the regional innovation system are Science and Technology Park, General Directorate of Information and Communication Technology and knowledge-based companies. Using the results of three different interactions (informational, operational and infrastructural), suggestions for improving the regional innovation system in an evolutionary process have been presented.

One of the features of new theories of development is that it considers dynamism at the regional level, innovation, production and transfer of knowledge as a key factor in regional development. Accordingly, innovation at the regional level is mainly done through collective learning and synergy between different actors who work inside and outside the organization. The central goal of this article is to identify the factors affecting the regional innovation system. In order to investigate the impact of different variables on the rate of regional innovation, the panel model related to the variables of one hundred and fifty countries during the years 2017-2013 has been used. Then, according to the hypotheses and diagnostic tests using panel data and the fixed effects pattern method, the relationship between innovation and the factors affecting it is examined. The results confirm that the variables of R&D expenditures, industry and university participation in R&D, access to the latest technology and finally higher education and patent programs have a positive and significant effect on countries' innovation.

Innovation systems literature refuses similar policies to the innovation-based development across different types of regions; no one size fits all. Furthermore، the theoretical literature، specially the broad approach to innovation systems has largely advocated the impact of social factors such as trust and believes on innovation behavior of regions. Iran is a vast country، includes a great diversity of ethnicity and culture، which make it a proper case to study the impact of social factors on regional innovation behavior. Considering some social factors، such as trust and collectivism; and some social actions، such as interactive learning، we provide a regional innovation behavior typology in this paper. We study similarity and difference in regional socio-economical properties of 28 provinces of Iran in two 4-years periods and compare their innovation performance. The typology forms the basis for region-specific innovation policies.

Over the last two decades development planners were working to develop some new approaches about regional development. One of the developed methods is “Regional Innovation System (RIS)”. In this approach, innovation is obtained from intra-firm resources and it can impact the inter-firm relationships and networking in regions. The aim of this article the role of the intra-firm characteristics in improving networking interactions and their capabilities in stimulating innovation in the Tabriz Metropolitan Region. To that end, a surveymethod was employed. Documentary and library data elicitation techniques were also applied to study the existing theoretical principles and approaches in the field. We used stratified sampling for determining the sample size. The findings show that internal resources of firms, particularly the proportion of the qualified staff to the total workforce, the size of firms and research expenditures respectively, have the most significant effect on innovation introduced by firms. Moreover, it was found that. The role of the intra-firm characteristics has not had strong effects on innovative capacities and regional networking in the region. The findings of this study also indicate that both the intensity of the intra-regional networking in the interactive learning and consequently the innovation capabilities of firms do not have statistically significant relationships.
