The policy of establishing special economic zones in Iran has been pursued over the past two decades as a tool to accelerate industrialization, attract foreign direct investment, and improve employment indicators; however, its spatial, social, and environmental effects at the local scale have been less studied. The present study, with a descriptive-analytical approach and the use of field data and remote sensing, evaluates the multidimensional effects of the “New Bam Citadel Special Economic Zone” on the physical changes of surrounding human settlements. The data include 220 questionnaires from two groups of indigenous and non-indigenous residents (120 and 100 people) and Google Earth satellite images from 2007 and 2025, which were processed and performed using a one-sample t-test and Pearson correlation coefficient. The findings show that in the social dimension, although the place belonging index was higher than the theoretical average, components such as social trust, hope for the future, and continuity of traditions were lower than the average. In the economic dimension, job opportunities and small businesses have grown, however, the sharp increase in housing and rent costs and financial pressure on households are among the negative outcomes of the index. The environmental dimension indicates a decline in water quality, inefficiency of waste collection and sewage disposal systems, and the physical dimension indicates the growth of housing construction and renovation, along with increasing demand and a decline in the quality of infrastructure services. The conclusion indicates that although the New Arg Special Economic Zone has been able to improve employment and investment indicators, it has created inconsistent effects on the social structure, environmental sustainability, and housing market balance. Accordingly, future policymaking should be directed towards reducing negative consequences and promoting positive synergies by combining industrial development with integrated environmental and social management and reviewing land use frameworks.
