In this paper, the efficiency of the private sector response to the economic-political changes of Iran's public sector in the areas of immigration, capital flight and population growth rate change has been investigated, during the forty-four years after the Islamic Revolution. For this purpose, the private sector in every year has been considered as an independent decisionmaking unit, and its response efficiency has been calculated using the data envelopment analysis. Political stability, economic stability, political development and economic development are used as the inputs and migration, capital flight and population growth rate change are used as the outputs of this decision making unit. This paper, has been used the Mann-Whitney test to prove the meaningfully of the private sector's reaction efficiency changes. The results of this research show that the efficiency of the private sector reaction has been meaningful throughout the investigation period, and this efficiency has been increased in the first and second decades after the revolution, comparing with itself, and it has been almost stable, after reaching the maximum.

The present paper has two main purposes. The first purpose is to investigate the possibility of using the FLQ method (to calculate the interindustry transactions matrix) at the same time with the use of regional statistical accounts of the country (to calculate the rest of sectors of the regional input-output tables). The second goal is to calculate input-output table of North Khorasan province based on it, because this province, with a very low degree of development, is in the group with the first priority of the country planning. For this purpose, the national input-output table (2016) of the Central Bank of Iran has been separated by imports and the regional accounts of the same year of the Statistics Center of Iran have been used as the basis for calculations. For this purpose, the computational method used in the article of Banuoei et al. (2017) was examined. The present paper presents a new proposed method for calculating the regional data-output table using the FLQ method, so that it is fully consistent with the regional accounts of the country and the column balance of the table is maintained. In this method, not only the regional value added vector is statistically included in the table, but also the statistical vector of intermediate consumption of the region is used. The results of the paper also show that the method for calculating the intermediate import vector is introduced in that paper; first, it has neglected to interpret the trading coefficient, second, leads to the elimination of the spatial dimensions of the region in the region intermediate consumption vector. This claim was investigated for North Khorasan province. Findings indicate that the regional intermediate consumption vector of the province in this method can be obtained directly by using the matrix of national national input-output coefficients without the intervention of the FLQ matrix, which shows the ineffectiveness of the spatial economic dimensions of the region in the calculations.The first scenario is defined according to the interpretation of the coefficients and the relationship between them. This scenario solves both the problem of elimination of the spatial dimensions and the inattention to the interpretation of the coefficients. The second scenario is defined as the difference between the input-output coefficients of the region and the domestic input-output coefficients of the region. This scenario solves only the first problem. By comparing the errors of intermediate consumption of North Khorasan province resulting from them, the first scenario is suggested due to less statistical errors.

Understanding the economic interactions of regions with other regions and countries and identifying their capacities are essential for the economic development of regions. Therefore, this study Prioritizing and estimating the trade of Iran's provinces using the multi-regonal input-output table and the Entropy-Taspis method . In the estimation of inter-regional and foreign trade, a multi-regional input-output table was used, which was constructed with the Charm-Ras method. After estimating the trade of 31 provinces, the sectors and provinces have been prioritized using the Topsis-Entropy method. The results were obtained by first ranking the provinces and then the sectors, and it was found that Tehran ranks first in interregional and foreign imports and foreign exports among the 31 provinces of Iran. Khuzestan province ranked first in interregional exports, with oil and natural gas having the highest inter-regional export value. The ranking results of sectors indicated that the oil and petroleum products sector had the largest interregional imports, interregional exports, and foreign exports. The service sector had the largest foreign imports. In the second place, the most inter-provincial imports, inter-provincial exports, exports to the outside world are respectively related to other basic metals, service sector and gas, water and electricity sector, and also the import from outside the world of water, gas and electricity is the most , In fact, the ranking of regions and sectors helps regional planners in the proper allocation of resources.

The realization of economic justice in different economic systems depends on the macro-economic structures of that system, which is the result of the level of concern of thelegislators of the constitution and ordinary laws to it.Article 48 of the Constitution of the Islamic Republic of Iran deals with regional justice by emphasizing various dimensions of economic justice.The Law on the Implementation of Article 48 of the Constitution has presented land-use planing as a solution to the implementation of Article 48.Due to the ambiguity of the word region in the text of Article 48 The documents of National Land-use planing based on different interpretations of the word region (combination of several provinces, provinces and cities) was investigated and analyzed. Finally, scientific solutions to solve the problems of national and provincial documents of land-use planning have been presented. According to the analysis done and the findings of this research, which was done with a descriptive analytical method and with a practical approach, In addition to criticism of The competency of the approving authority of this documents. The main criticism of Land-use planing documents from the view of Article 48 is the discriminatory selection of city/city-region in level 1 areas.Since the said selection was done without clear criteria and insufficient attention to the population distribution and the distance of the selected cities/ city regions to the capital and the fair distribution of the first level cities in different regions of the country and it does not match with any interpretations of the the word "region" in Article 48 and it has caused obvious discrimination between different provinces and regions of the country. In order to solve this problem and to comply the mentioned document as well as the provincial documents of land-use planning with Article 48, practical suggestions have been presented.

AbstractIn recent decades, free trade zones have rapidly emerged in developing countries such as Iran. The primary objective behind establishing these zones has been economic progress at the regional or national levels, with less attention paid to the development of local communities. Existing experiences indicate the impact of these zones on urban growth and the interests of cities and villages within them in various economic, social, physical, and environmental dimensions. Indeed, the positive or negative transformations in these areas have a direct and indirect correlation with the success and achievement of the initial goals of these zones. Therefore, the identification and analysis of the types of causes and their effects are crucial.This research aims to investigate and analyze the effects of the formation of the Maku Free Trade Zone on its local communities (including the cities of Maku, Bazargan, Poldasht, Shute, and Marganlar) using document analysis and surveys. The results indicate that, firstly, urban growth has been relatively limited, with the influential domain encompassing the development of urban infrastructure, transportation networks, and tourism-related land uses. Secondly, local communities in this area have, to a large extent, had relatively minimal shares in terms of equal opportunities, participation, a sense of ownership and belonging, trust, satisfaction with housing, and the urban environment.Keywords: Free Trade Zones, Urban Growth, Local Community, Maku Free Trade Zone

The current research was conducted with the aim of evaluating the role of local development offices on the social empowerment of women in order to develop the culture of monitoring and evaluation. Descriptive research is analytical, and it was done by survey method. The statistical population of women living in Shahid Bahonar neighborhood of Mashhad was selected. Non-probability sampling by selecting 100 women who used the services of offices and 100 women who did not use the services of local development offices were questioned. The tool used was a researcher-made questionnaire. The validity of the questionnaire has been evaluated using face and criterion validity and reliability of the instrument using Cronbach's alpha method. The research results showed; Among the 7 investigated components of women's social empowerment in the use of facilitation offices, the most impact is related to the dimension of social value, followed by participation, interaction and social responsibility. The components of social cohesion and social trust have shown a very weak impact and no impact has been seen in the dimension of social satisfaction. In general, according to the obtained results, it can be said: In the discussion of social empowerment of women in marginal areas, the facilitation offices have not been very successful as it is included in the agenda of the fourth development program related to the establishment of local development offices.

One of the basic priorities of countries is Achieving high economic growth So that the country's balance of payments is one of the influencing factors. Therefore, One of the goals of macroeconomics is to establish internal and external balance. The meaning of internal balance, Equilibrium at the production level of full employment and balance in the government budget And the meaning of external balance the balance is in the balance of payments. In economics, the balance of payments or for short BOP It is a concept that shows the obligations of a country to the rest of the world and the relationship between the demands of that country from the rest of the world. The balance of payments to the state of the financial balance and savings of the private sector, which are considered to be the main factors of economic growth, It is very close and balance of payments reflects the ratio of investment to savings. Also, the country's balance of payments is equal to the difference between exports and imports, so that it represents the total transactions of domestic people with foreigners in the market of goods and services.
