Urbanization acceleration and the formation of marginalized areas are important social issues in developing countries worldwide. The development of free trade zones is one of the factors that can potentially impact the sustainable livelihoods of residents in marginalized areas. However, a fundamental question arises as "Has the development of free trade zones effectively contributed to the creation and enhancement of sustainable livelihoods in marginalized areas?" Therefore, this research aims to investigate the role of the development of the Chabahar Free Trade Zone in the sustainable livelihoods of residents in this region by examining the effects of the development of the Chabahar Free Trade Zone on the growth and development of various dimensions of individuals' sustainable livelihoods in this area. The research methodology in this study is based on multivariate regression analysis and T-test to improve the feasibility of analyzing the role of various variables in sustainable livelihoods. Based on the results of this research, the development of the Chabahar Free Trade Zone did not have a positive impact on various dimensions of the sustainable livelihoods of marginalized residents. The analysis of various livelihood assets, including human, financial, natural, physical, and social assets, shows that in all these dimensions, the average results obtained were less than 3, indicating respondents' disagreement regarding the positive effects of the development of the Chabahar Free Trade Zone on the sustainable livelihoods of individuals. This research provides significant insights into the development of the Chabahar Free Trade Zone and its impact on the sustainable livelihoods of marginalized residents in this region, which can assist policymakers and planners in promoting the development of free trade zones.

Understanding the causes and determinants of development and underdevelopment has emerged as a crucial focus within the realm of social and economic studies over the past five decades. Regional development, as a fundamental requirement for progress, encompasses diverse dimensions aimed at achieving regional equilibrium, reducing infrastructural disparities, and addressing structural and territorial gaps. This developmental model not only exhibits exceptional efficiency in terms of resource management and harnessing regional potential, but also strives to narrow or eradicate disparities within and between regions through the spatial organization of socio-economic and structural activities, capitalizing on local capacities unique to each region. This particular study seeks to conduct a comprehensive structural analysis of the drivers influencing regional development in the Chaharmahal and Bakhtiari province. Employing an applied theoretical framework, the research employs a descriptive-analytical survey approach. Data and information were gathered through an extensive examination of relevant academically-sound sources alongside field observations, including interviews and questionnaires. Quantitative analysis, employing cross-impact analysis and Micmac software, was employed to analyze the collected data. Twenty key factors were thus extracted and identified as crucial drivers influencing regional development in the province of Chaharmahal and Bakhtiari.

The results of development planning show that the goals of regional planning including achieving sustainable development, regional balance, appropriate distribution of activities and maximum use of environmental capabilities have not been achieved. The current research was conducted to evaluate the challenges affecting the change of the settlement pattern and its consequences on the sustainable development structure of the border areas.

This research is applied in terms of purpose and analytical and exploratory. Collection methods are based on surveys and interviews. The statistical population of citizens of Urmia metropolis and the sampling method is cluster sampling. To analyze the results, Pearson's correlation coefficient, single-sample T, analysis of variance, Sheffe's post hoc test and structural equations were used.

According to the results, threats to regional water resources, instability of ecological resources, lack of a culture of participation in planning, funding and management of development and continuation of heating will be the 4 main challenges affecting the settlement pattern. According to the results, there is a significant relationship between the amount of changes in the settlement pattern and the level of sustainable development. It is positive and significant in the context of direct intervention and the comprehensive field with correlation coefficients of 0.894 and 0.761 respectively. Still, in the context of the comprehensive field, it is negative and significant with a coefficient of -0.347.

The level of sustainable development in the two contexts of the intervention and inclusive areas is lower than the criterion (70), but the immediate area is higher than the criterion value. According to the results of the ANOVA test, the significance level of the urban context variable and its three components (sig<0.05) has a significant difference between the challenges and its components on the sustainable development of the three city contexts.

Socio-cultural with a coefficient of 0.334 has the third degree of impact on regional development, and physical index with 0.287 and environmental index with 0.118 have an impact on regional development, respectively.

Khuzestan,despite its high potential for development,has problems in regional development for various reasons.This study seeks the pathology of this issue by assessing the opinion of the instrumental and intellectual elites of the province.To finally be able to reach the perspective of the pathology of regional development management in Khuzestan province.In this research, using a survey method,20questions were asked from 61 instrumental and intellectual elites of the province.The main question of this research is what are the most important harms of regional development management in Khuzestan province? Findings show that 6 cases of "non-employment and use of specialized and efficient forces", "priority of political issues over regional development policies", "lack of capacity building in various social, economic and productive areas", "disregard for conditions "Economic, political, social", "inconsistency between national divisions and regional management system" and "dependence of regional institutions on extra-regional government resources" are the main harms of regional development management in Khuzestan province. In other words, among different dimensions, human factors (expert force), institutional factors, socio-economic factors and regional factors have the greatest impact on the lack of development of the region.

Considering the impact of fourth generation universities on social, economic and, cultural developments as well as the growth and development of local and regional communities, the main purpose of this article is to study the dimension and develop a fourth-generation university model for Iranian universities. The study was conducted within the framework of a qualitative approach and using the grounded theory strategy. The statistical population included experts and specialists in the field of higher education. Using the purposive sampling method, the required data was gathered through semi-structured interviews with 25 experts. The data analysis was performed using MAXQDA software and based on Strauss and Corbin design in three stages of open, axial and selective coding. To validate and review the results, they were given to the interviewees and then using the peer review technique by five experts of higher education, the validity of the research was confirmed. Findings showed that the component of responsible value-creating university as a central phenomenon, transformationalism and adaptability as causal factors, responsible leadership, development of professional skills of human capital and developer curriculum as action strategies, components of specialized and professional policy-making, culture responsible innovation culture and transformational structure were identified as underlying conditions, whereas; academic independence and developer financial models were identified as the intervening components of the fourth generation university. The main consequence of the interaction of all the mentioned components is regional development, which plays a vital role in the development and growth of the local and national community in areas such as: cultural, social, economic and environmental.

The main purpose of this study was to investigate the role of the fourth generation university in regional development to achieve this goal, a qualitative approach and descriptive-analytical method were used. Potential participants in the study included experts and scholars in the field of higher education and academics and 25 of them were interviewed semi-structured based on purposive sampling method and theoretical saturation criteria. In order to analyze the data, MAXQDA software and Brown and Clark (2006) theme analysis technique were utilized. Through a six-step process (familiarity with primary data, creation of basic conceptual codes, search and recognition of selective codes, formation of sub-themes, definition and formation of main themes and review) analysis, 141 primary codes were identified, after reviewing and refining which, 82 selective codes were obtained. After reviewing and refining them, 12 sub-themes and 3 main themes were identified. The validity of the data was verified through a review by the interviewees. The findings showed that the fourth generation university (social university) provides the ground for regional development in three areas: socio-cultural, economic and environmental. In the cultural and social spheres, through social development, disseminating of regional values and identity, developing democratic thinking, creating social hope, and participating in civilization, and creating civic commitment plays a role in the development of the region. In the economic field, by creating a knowledge-based economy, the fourth generation university is a stimulant of productive and sustainable regional economy, the development of social entrepreneurship professional and skilled outputs is effective in the development of regions. Finally, in the field of environment, through encouraging a culture of environment preservation, environmental knowledge enhancement and development of environmental technologies, it causes regional development.

Since the beginning of the Islamic Revolution, five development programs have been implemented and from the third one, the focus has been on regional development which has been the subject of numerous studies in recent years. The present study, which is a qualitative meta-analysis, tries to examine the studies on the inequality of development programs in the regions of the country and at the same time to give a process description of the results obtained from them. An examination of 19 papers conducted between 2006 and 2015 shows that there is a significant repetition in the methods, foundations and results, and the overlap of the indicators, despite the differences in the method, has led to the closeness of the results.  We are also considering   significant gaps in the development levels of the provinces. It is noteworthy that the results show minimal displacements among a limited number of provinces in the last three decades and gradually show a stabilized pattern that, while indicating the stagnation of inequality, confirms the central-peripheral pattern of development indicators in the provinces.

Creating free trade zones (FTZs), special economic zones (SEZs), or export processing zones (EPZs) are some of the regional development policies to enhance the community capacities to meet the needs. However, these zones had mainly encountered “island development” with the distribution of the region’s minimal works. So, the development in the multidimensional sense has not yet occurred in the life situation of the local community. In this context, the purpose of the research was to explain the development impact of the Chabahar Free Zone in the pervasive zone (the Makran Region), measuring by the semi-experimental method consecutively. First, the conceptual and measurement models, including criteria and indicators, were defined as a result of the documentary meta-synthesis and interviews. Then they were evaluated by the statistical and spatial data at different times before and after constructing the free zone. To this end, research results are validated by interviews with actors. Finally, the strategic suggestions are provided by Meta–SWOT technique to promote the effect of the Chabahar Free Zone. Results state that with the construction of this region, some capacities have been made for development. Having no long-term planning and social cohesion from the beginning resulted in some unpleasant phenomena such as social segregation and uneven development. The trade zone is expected to spread the development to the pervasive region has become a problem causing the flock to the city, unable to meet the inhabitants’ expectations.

Industrialization is a dynamic factor for development process, while industrializationprojects in addition to provideparts of human needs, cause different intended and unintended effects. Thus, the purpose of this research was to investigate Khatounabad Copper Smelter Factory's effects on the development of surrounding areas. A causal-comparative research method was used for this purpose. Targetpopulation included the residents of two regions of Shahre-Bbak County that about 150 ones of them were selected and studied using Bartlet Sampling Table and Random Sampling procedure. The face validity of the data gathering tool (questionnaire) was verified via specialists' reviews. The reliability of the supposed questionnaire was also verified calculating Cronbach's Alpha Internal Consistency Coefficient obtained from a pilot study (from 0.773 to 0.892) and SPSS software was used to analyze data. The results of comparing after and before factory establishment (current situation vs six years ago), showed that there were statistically significant differences between areas with and without factory in terms of social and environmental factors, but the differences were not statistically significant about economic factors. To ensure this conclusion, the covariance analysis was also used. This analysis also verified the supposed conclusion. Finally, the effect size analysis showed that Khatounabad Copper Smelter Factory had an increasing effect (= 0.3%) on economic factors, and decreasing effects including 6.4% on social and 13.8% on environmental factors.

Regarding the dual relationship of various studies between financial decentralization (expenditure and income) and regional development at the national level, this study examined the relationship between regional inequality and financial decentralization (expenditure and income) in the provinces of the country. For this purpose, the calculations were carried out in two stages: In the first stage, the index of regional inequality (CIRD) on 5 dimensions (macroeconomics, science and innovation, environmental sustainability, human capital and public services) is calculated by using the principal component analysis (PCA). This index is the development composite index that it is calculated for the years of 2006 and 2016. In the second part, using the simultaneous equations (SEs) and error component two-stage least squares (EC2SLS), examine the dual relationship of financial decentralization (expenditure and income) and regional development. In the next section, which examined the interaction of financial decentralization variables and regional development, the effect of both decentralization variables on regional development index are significant but the effect of financial decentralization of expenditures on increasing regional development is greater than the effect of financial decentralization of income.

The participatory development approach seeks to fill the gulf of public participation in the process of local development, and the participation of individuals in development is considered as an end in itself. Hence, considering that Ilam province, as one of the deprived areas of the country, needs real participation of people in development, the main objective of this paper is to analyze the social trust that affects the participation of people in the development of Ilam region. In this research, using quantitative method and descriptive-analytical type with the population of people older than15 years, a sample of 439 people, was selected by multi-stage cluster sampling. The validity of questionnaire was formal, and its reliability was based on the Cronbach's alpha coefficient (total) of 0/778. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics (mean) and inferential statistics (linear regression). Accordingly, the highest average rates were: personal trust variables (3/0638), total trust (2/888), institutional trust (2/8517), generalized trust (2/7358) and the lowest one was related to the participation of people in the development of the Ilam region (2/2609). The results of the regression analysis of the research variables also show that the two variables of personal trust and institutional trust with a beta of 0/245 and 0/192 have the most effect on the dependent variable, i.e., the stage of public participation in the development of Ilam region, and their impact is significant but the impact of the variance of generalized trust is not so.
