Abstract

Objective: The purpose of this research is to identify the key factors of urban development in Dezful with a future research approach. Since today's world is changing and evolving at an increasing speed, uncertainty is one of its features that must be known. Therefore, future research is necessary to be prepared for these uncertainties and appropriate and flexible development. In this regard, the current research with a descriptive-analytical method and with an exploratory future research approach seeks to identify the key drivers of the urban development of Dezful city.
Method: Method: The current research is applied in terms of purpose, in terms of descriptive-analytical nature, and in terms of method, it is a combination of library and survey methods and is based on the future research approach of cross-effects matrix (MICM). The scope of the research is the city of Dezful and the current study is in the time frame of February 1402. The statistical population of this research is 60 urban and urban management experts. Considering that the research approach is exploratory and based on the survey of experts, the validity of the questionnaire has been approved by the experts during the interviews and surveys
Results: The research findings showed that among the 30 investigated indicators for the physical development of Dezful city, 10 components are creative people, literacy rate, new technology, Dez river water quality, transportation, per capita production, infrastructure quality, city security, integrated management. The city and access to city services respectively have the highest direct influence
