The philosophy and mission of government is to deal with the risks facing the society. The main tools for doing such a special task are public policies, but these policies face a variety of inherent and environmental risks in achieving their goals. While the inherent risks are rooted in the wrong understanding of the problem, policy formulation and design, selection of alternatives, implementation, monitoring, and evaluation of policy performance, environmental risks refer to the risks faced by public policies during implementation. Since public policy analysis is considered to be the center of gravity of public policies, one of the main concerns of analysts in this field is to understand, diagnose, measure and manage the risk of such policies. Few studies have dealt with risk research in the field of policy analysis. The ultimate goal of this article is to draw the attention of the scientific community and agents of the country to “risk research” in national policy studies in the Islamic Republic of Iran. Therefore, while analyzing the concept and strategies of coping with risk, a framework for recognizing and managing “public policy risks” is provided. At the end, a guideline for future research in this important field will be suggested.

issue scrutinizing is a multi-dimensional phenomenon that has been paid less attention as an independent stage in the policy-making process. Weakness in scrutinizing the issues causes ineffective policies. Using a comprehensive framework to scrutinize policy issues provides the possibility for policy makers to determine and deal with priority issues and strategies efficiently and effectively. This research provides components to understand policy issues in the field of production of National Iranian Oil Company. This research is an adaptation of a doctorate thesis with the title of presenting the problem-solving framework of production in the National Iranian Oil Company and it presents a conceptual model that is the result of qualitative content analysis of 252 documents, 169 of which are first category and 83 non-first category and in the form of 20 The concept is grouped. This research has counted 3243 concepts, 264 secondary components and 16 main components during three stages of open, central and selective coding. The results of this research show that the components related to governance, interested groups, influential groups, problem sensitivity, problem domain, the time period of occurrence and the costs related to the problem have an effect on the process of scrutinizing production policy issues in the National Iranian Oil Company.

The purpose of this research, Modelling gas demand of household customers in order to reduce consumption intensity in east Azerbaijan providence with system dynamics modelling.The statistical population of this research is the household consumers of Province. In this research, 79 variables were identified using meta-synthesis methodology, and then using Shannon's entropy, the position and effect of each variable was determined. After analyzing and combining the variables, finally 10 subsystems were identified in the form of 49 variables. Causal diagrams were drawn for the identified subsystems.Then the parameters were estimated and the model was formulated. The key variables affecting the natural gas demand of the population, price, price elasticity, temperature, technical and technological factors, per capita income, social factors, consumption history and advertisements were identified and based on the available information to estimate the functions and preferences and research facilities of the selected variables for stock-Flow model drawing was used. Validity of the model was measured by two methods of retesting behavior and limit states. Based on the model, five were planned: 1) continuation of the status quo, 2) implementation of price policies, 3) creation of a culture for optimal gas consumption, 4) optimization in engine houses of the province, 5) simultaneous application of all consumption reduction policies. The results of the modeling showed that by applying all consumption reduction policies, the demand can be kept at the current level. Based on the scenarios, strategic measures were proposed to reduce and control consumption at three short, medium and long term levels.

Providing correct answers to unproperly defined problems is a strategic error that may make policy-making systems fail. The first crucial step in policy analysis is the effective recognition of problematic situations. Policies on basic food products are of significance to all countries, and livestock food products stand among the most important basic products in Iran. The objective of this study is to examine and analyze the current state of the livestock policy in Iran, specifically from the viewpoint of the issue owner, the Iranian Ministry of Agriculture.
The research data, collected through conducting interviews and reviewing documents, were analyzed utilizing the thematic analysis and the ‎Diagnosing Policy Problem Situations ‎Model by Thissen (2013).
First, the institutional arrangements dominating the problem situation were extracted. Then, referring to the problem owner, i.e., the Ministry of Agriculture of Iran, the problem situation model was explained. In the ‎next step, the comprehensive problem situation system was re-defined using the Ishikawa (cause and effect) diagrams, ‎ the objectives tree, and causal analysis. Alternative policy ‎solutions were extracted by a means-ends diagram‏.‎ An objectives tree diagram was used to clarify the goals and anticipated outcomes of the policy. Additionally, a causal analysis diagram was utilized to identify the relationships between variables within the policy problem situation model. Ultimately, the comprehensive livestock policy problem situation model of Iran was restructured.
The regulation of the market is regarded as the primary component of the livestock policy problem situation. Nonetheless, other significant components also contribute to ensuring sustainable food security, with strengthening production in the domestic supply chain being one of them. To achieve food security and further goals such as public health and welfare, independence, national security, and progress, Iran needs to adopt a new perspective on the issue. The livestock policy problem situation model encompasses the sustainable food security system as its primary comprehensive system, which consists of two additional subsystems. These subsystems include enhancing domestic production within the supply chain and implementing effective consumption management strategies. To attain the goals outlined in the livestock policy, including sustainable food security, public health and welfare, national independence and security, and economic growth, it is crucial to adopt a broader perspective and implement alternative policies, all while taking into account external factors. The current study effectively utilized the policy analysis model and demonstrated its efficacy in addressing a significant and real issue in Iran.

In spite of development of public policy analysis in health domain in developed countries and its widespread use, its application is still in its infancy in the developing countries. In this article, based on the narrative review of articles published from 1994 to 2017 on health policy analysis in these countries, their thematic scope, methodological and analytical approach are analytically reviewed. This article provides a platform to assist researchers to develop this field by examining the methodological and analytical pitfalls, as well this study aimed at encouraging the health policy researchers to focus more on this research area. All relevant articles were identified according to five predefined search priorities. 15 articles fall into the review inclusion criteria and then they were studied and analyzed. The selected articles were small in number but varied in the scope. The majority of studies provided description of some episode of policy change. They explained a conceptual ordering among lots of influencing factors or tested a set of predefined hypothesis, regardless of exploring the reason behind health policy changes (policy process). In addition, most of the studies adopted a single case study design and had significant analytical weaknesses. As well, from the points of analytical reviewing, most of them were descriptive- analytical instead of being exploratory in nature. However, understanding factors influencing health policy process and the results of policy change deeply can strengthen future policy development and implementation. This study showed that the efforts made in developing countries to explain changes in health policy process have been limited. So, future qualitative studies with a rigorous study designs are needed to develop current theories or coming up with new ones with the aim of providing a better understanding of health policy process in developing countries. Health policy researchers are encouraged to study the health policy process as a whole, using inductive research approaches, to develop new theories rich in exploratory power or to localize current theories in consistence with national contextual requirement.

The present study seeks to apply Lesson drawing process for analyzing aerospace industry (AI) policies in nine regions/countries and learning from them. This analysis has been carried out by applying the methodology of text mining to policy documents of AI and the two related policy areas, i.e. science, technology and innovation, and defense. The study comprises the regions/countries of the EU,UK,USA,Brazil,Turkey,the Zionist regime,Russia,Japan-Korea,and India-Pakistan. After analyzing the frequency of words, drawing the co-occurrence network of words and clustering this network for all policy documents, the co-occurrence networks for each of the nine countries/regions are separately mapped and analyzed; then the most important policy points are extracted. Finally, the most important lessons learned for AI policy Analysis in the Islamic Republic of Iran are presented. Orientation towards applied research and application of researches; the interaction of government, industry and universities; the integration of policies and programs; the application of science and technology diplomacy capacities; the optimal use of resources; accurate planning for future innovations and technologies; the development of training programs;special attention to space observation services; the creation of aerospace clusters and the use of regional capacities; the diversification of financing sources; the localization of products and systems in developing countries; and a systematic approach to science,Technology and Innovation policy are lessons learned from the analyzed policy documents in this study.
