Abstract

In the present era, land planning has become a suitable method for planning and development in countries. In this regard, one of its main goals is wise management for the optimal use of land capacities in order to improve the level of development and construction. Therefore, considering the goals of land development, it is important to pay attention to deprived areas that have potential. In the present study, with the participation of managers, officials and academic experts, key factors affecting the development of Khuzestan Province were identified and finally scenarios affecting the future development of the province were developed. This research is applied in terms of purpose and descriptive-analytical in terms of research method. The method of collecting data and information was library, documentary and survey. The statistical population of the research is a group of experts and specialists in the field of urban and regional planning who were selected through purposive sampling. In order to analyze the information obtained, cross-effects analysis was used in Micmac software. The results of this research indicate that technology, global oil prices, foreign policy, and the pattern of international interactions have been identified as key factors with high importance and uncertainty, and 8 scenarios indicating the future development of the province have been identified.
