Providing a framework in the field of regional foresight to understand complex situations for new regional regeneration.

Analytical-descriptive approach and qualitative research method have been used in this research. To collect information, the library method in the form of texts, as well as the method of interviewing experts individually and group meetings through theoretical saturation sampling has been used.

Based on the principles and key concepts of the proposed framework, for regional regeneration, it is necessary to avoid undue generalization of a type of approach and action pattern in all domains of the future reality (The reality of the future of the West Asian region), and based on the principle of "bounded of application" with the boundaries of each domain, for Each domain and domain applies an action approach adapted to the context. Based on the framework of understanding the future reality, in order to create a new regional order, in the domain of structural realism, creating a common market and common transit, in the area of realism of agency, activation of regional potential cores, in the area of constructionist agency sense-making and new regional narratives, and in the area of discursive constructionism, the creation and promotion of the regional discourse of ILAF has been proposed.

The result of applying the proposed framework is that for the new creation of the West Asia region, in two main domains and sub-domains, approaches compatible with the nature of each domain should be taken into consideration. In this case, the region will be connected with its original roots, and it will be able to gain geopolitical power, so that its nations will find a suitable role and place in the world system.

Regional planning knowledge despite the many downsides in the path to theoretical and applied evolution, from last decade, relied on the interdisciplinary knowledge to synergy with other sciences to enhance its ability and impact. Social sciences, management sciences, political sciences, economics, and recent knowledge of futures studies are among the sciences that have a scientific connection with regional planning.

The research method in this article was based on the Delphi method of the experts. It has been used to evaluate the impact of futures studies knowledge on planning and development patterns.

In recent years, knowledge of futures studies has influenced on regional planning knowledge in two dimensions: approachal and technical and the link between these two domains, in addition to the theoretical and applied advances, has brought about the emergence of interdisciplinary knowledge of regional foresight. This paper tries to depict the future-oriented approach to the regional planning. By designing this topic, there is a need for greater synergy for scholars and thinkers in both fields.

results show that with a futures studies approach, the regional planning process can be reproduced and revisited  in nine successive and interlinked phases. These include identifying key forces, foresighting global coordinates for key forces, scenario writing, and extracting viable strategies.

Today, futures studies have begun their activities at the national level in the framework of some governmental institutions and some organizations have considered to develop strategic foresight and framework to improve their decision making and policy making processes and have done significant activities in this area. But regional strategic foresight has not yet played its theoretical and practical role in creating the future in the areas of governance in the Islamic Republic of Iran. This article attempts to review regional strategic foresight and its relationship with other concepts and processes and discusses the experiences of a leading country in the field of regional strategic foresight. Then, it develops an institutional model to establish the position of strategic regional foresight in the governance system of the Islamic Republic of Iran. This article is the result of a PhD thesis in futures studies that was written in 1395. According to the aim of this research, a mixed research method was chosen. In the first step, theoretical concepts were reviewed and developed. In the second step, a model was developed based on an interpretive structural modeling. The statistical population of this research consists experts in future studies and regional development, and the sampling method is target of sampling. Data gathering tool was interview and questionnaire and information obtained from experts was analyzed by Interpretative Structural Modeling Technique (ISM). Also, regional foresight practice is applicable by existing institutions in the governance system, but the proposed model requires other institutions that have not yet been established. The participation of various institutions plays a special role in improving the quality and comprehensiveness of strategic forecasting, as well as networking is one of the basic requirements for success of the model, also some of its collaborative institutions would be developing over time and would require network interaction.
