Abstract

The purpose of this research is to investigate the position and importance of Pahlavi era development plans to regional development in the country. This qualitative research and data collection method was in the form of documentary and library studies and is used to analyze the hermonic method. In the first Program, the regional planner was limited, in the second Program, as the main strategy, and in the third Program, with the creation of regional and provincial structures of the program organization, it took an institutional form. In the fourth Program and with the transformation of the country into 11 regions, the decentralization policy continued, but in the fourth development Program, due to excessive focus on industry and economic growth, the development of different regions of the country became unbalanced. The fifth program is considered as the turning point of the regional development approach. During this period, Iran's territorial planning plan was prepared in cooperation with Setiran company, which led to the preparation of Iran's vision document in 2012. Despite the successes of the development programs, especially the third and fourth programs and the experience of economic growth and sustainable industrial development, which was accompanied by the stabilization of political conditions, the issue of balanced regional development was not carried out properly. During the fifth program and during the preparation of the sixth program, , studies related to Town and Country Planning and regional development problems were identified in the previous Programs. Based on this, three national, regional and local levels were prepared in the program. The direction of this regional development program was based on national goals. Of course, this program did not reach the stage of approval and implementation due to the revolution of 1979 despite its formulation.
