Reviewing the history shows that corporate social responsibility started from an embryonic concept and grew over time and affected the identity of organizations, but there are still conflicting opinions about the dialectic between organization and society in the theoretical and strategic climate of organizations. In this article, for a better understanding of the history of social responsibility, a semi-structured literature review was conducted to have a big picture of the evolution of this concept over time. Then, according to the frequency of concepts in key articles, three main drivers of the domain of corporate social responsibility that can change the organizations in the future were identified. The main drivers are “inequality”, “climate change”, and “gender gap”. In the next step, we tried to present a picture of the dialectic between organization and society in the literature of this field by drawing causal diagrams between these drivers and other organizational and social variables. In the last step, according to these three drivers, inductive-normative scenarios of the future of the organization's social responsibility were presented. These scenarios include “egalitarian organizations”, “the biophilic organization”, and “gender-discriminiation-free organizations”.

In an increasingly complex and uncertain world of the future, exploring alternative paths for future of education and the curricula in terms of fulfilling the mission of educational systems is necessary. Therefore, this study aimed to explore the foresight of the primary school curriculum in 2035. The study was conducted using a foresight approach and a scenario-planning tool, which resulted in four alternative scenarios. The first scenario, called "The magic school bus" represents "curriculum as a personal roadmap". The second scenario, entitled "The pursuit of happyness", describes "the curriculum revival". The third scenario, named "The Ice age", represents the "curriculum collapse". The fourth scenario, entitled "Dead poets society", narrates the situation of the "curriculum in limbo". The findings showed that innovation comes from agency rather than structures, and requires a transformation in perspectives about the education aims in the digital age, as well as an increase in the authority and empowerment of schools.

Clustering and co-word analysis is a method to reveal relationships and links and illustrate the intellectual structure of a scientific field. This research tries to study the intellectual structure of articles in the field of futures studies in Iran by using the technique of co-word analysis.
The current research is a descriptive-analytical development with a scientometric approach. The statistical population is 921 articles retrieved records in the field of futures studies.
The findings showed that articles in the field of futures studies in Iran are often associated with positive growth, and in terms of frequency, the keywords scenario, Islamic Republic, and foresight are the most frequent in futures studies. The findings related to the hierarchical clustering led to the formation of 8 clusters in this field, namely "ICT visions", "geographers who love the future", "knowledge development", " Futuristic higher education", "Future of Religion", "Regional Relations", "Strategic Foresight" and "Heavy Weight of Method".
According to the findings of the current research and the high frequency of the keyword scenario, as well as the density and relationships of this keyword with other keywords, it can be concluded that the scenario is the dominant approach in futures studies. Also, according to the resulting clusters, it was observed that these researches have a high variety, but addressing the future in many areas is still neglected.

Public libraries are faced with technological changes and unknown issues that can change their identity and mission in charting the future path for their role in social developments. In line with the use of new approaches to redefine the mission of libraries, the present research intends to provide a vision for Iran’s public libraries by using the implications of resilience theory.

This research was designed and implemented in the form of a three-step process: 1. studying the implications of the characteristics of a resilient system, 2. Environmental scanning through literature review by searching for research and review articles, books and reports in English language related to the subject indexed in Scopus and Google Scholar databases without applying time limits, and 3. prospecting.

A resilient library has the characteristics of diversity, changeability, modularity, acceptance of slow variables, intensive feedback, social capital, innovation, ecosystem services, redundancy and publics. Among the general examples of using these features in public libraries are: using technologies at different levels and updating resources and services and library space; intellectual and skill preparation of librarians and continuous monitoring of previous experience and knowledge and current conditions; dividing the library into different departments and its federal administration; Pathology in libraries and continuous identification and follow-up of changes, though small, in various dimensions of human, environment and technology; Follow-up by managers of the conditions of each department and continuous follow-up and analysis of users’ opinions in order to satisfy them; Providing a communication platform and providing social information services in order to strengthen social capital, social cohesion, and social justice; Innovation in the thinking and action of librarians and their decisions and services; and identifying and introducing the highlights of the library to attract more audience. The future library is a phygital platform and a built space for shared co-creation. Resilient library as an experience center is a point of access for citizens to emerging technologies and a platform for popularizing science and practicing civil epistemology. The future library has a modular management structure and is a place for learning, re-learning and more importantly going beyond previous learning.

Originality/value: 

Resilience theory has been developed to describe and address the inherent uncertainty and insecurity of major changes of systems, acknowledging that we live in a state of constant change and that there is no point in the future where we can expect everything to be static and optimal. take Therefore, libraries should not focus their energy on creating ways to continue the usual and traditional services in the future, but should look for ways to adapt intelligently to changes. The current research can be a good guide in this field for public libraries.

Today, the importance of the role of human capital as a vital and privileged factor for the survival and success of organizations has been increasingly considered.Organizations should be familiar with the techniques of this action in order to identify and attract capable HR.Competency identification is the common language for describing the needs of each job, and the competency model is an appropriate tool for identifying competencies.The purpose of this study is to present a model of HR competencies for customs organization in Futuristic approach. Identifying the factors Effective the Customs by studying processes by environmental scanning method (PESTEL technique) and identification of drivers is done by analyzing the data in Micmac software. Then, the future Customs scenarios was adjusted (CBI) and analyzed by data in Wizard scenario.To identify indicators of HR competency, while using the scenarios of Customs, the interview method was used and a questionnaire was used to assess the model. Data were analyzed using structural equation modeling and statistical tests in SPSS and PLS software. Identifying environmental factors affecting the organization, identifying drivers, uncertainties, and Customs future scenarios can improve long-term forecasting. Results show; Value, knowledge and skills have been identified as effective dimensions of the competency model and core values,professional, operational and managerial competencies have been identified as model areas (levels). Develop competency model with a futuristic approach as a practical solution can help customs managers define the skills and knowledge needed for jobs, evaluate and improve employee performance, align the talent management process with organizational strategy.

Lifestyle change means a change in various aspects of life, including cultural, educational, training, etc., and is one of the important issues in the classification of generations. Therefore, the lifestyle, mentality and way of thinking of different generations has always been a topic of interest for researchers in various fields. The aim of the present study was to provide a futuristic analysis of the lifestyle of the alpha generation and to investigate the role of the media in constructing this lifestyle and by using customary and inductive content analysis method and with a systematic review of scientific content about generations, especially the alpha generation, examined the lifestyle changes of this generation. The results showed that five central concepts of 1. technology, 2. games and entertainment, 3. family, 4. education and 5. employment are the main topics of study and analysis of the alpha generation, and the media quite clearly play an important role in all this dimensions. The alpha generation is the generation of the metaverse lifestyle, and the life of this generation will be going not only with the media, but also in the media.

In the last decade, there have been several challenges in the environmental, social and economic fields of cities, which have increased with the increasing growth of cities and urban population. But today, dou to the social and economic role of cities in communities, these urbanization challenges must be overcome with the help of urban development officials and sustainable solutions all over the world. In urban literature, there are many concepts and approaches to provide a picture of the future of cities that one of the most important of them is the concept of smart city. The present study, in the field of urban foresight, seeks to provide solutions for more effective foresight around the smart city of Isfahan in horizon 1420 according to this concept. The approach of this qualitative research is applied and in order to conduct this research in the pre-foresight stage, first, with the help of environmental scanning and library studies, various definitions of smart city were collected from differents articles. As a foresight stage, by doing backcasting for the smart city, solutions were provided for turning Isfahan into a smart city in the form of a roadmap. The necessary infrastructure for the production of renewable energy, increasing the ecological resilience of Isfahan and creating a basis for the startup economy are the most important components of the smart roadmap of Isfahan.

The world of the future will coincide with dramatic and unprecedented developments in the fields of science, technology and information transmission. Living in such a world creates a large gap between the emerging generation of learners called the "Generation Alpha" and previous generations, making conventional learning methods inefficient. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to identify the characteristics of the emerging generation of learners and design appropriate teaching and learning strategies in elementary education. This research is based on the qualitative meta- analysis method using conventional content analysis by Atlas.ti8 software. In the results section, in the first step, the characteristics of the generation alpha were identified and explained through nine categories. In the second step, concepts and propositions related to teaching and learning were inferred in the form of seven categories. These categories were then used to develop appropriate teaching and learning strategies for the generation alpha. The findings showed that the alphas tend to take the lead in their learning, blur the boundaries between formal and informal learning, and replace traditional one-way methods with interactive ones.

The irreplaceable role of cities in economic, cultural and political development of countries, their challenges and problems and the difficulty of their management has resulted in an increasing significance of theories, experiences and strategies concerning city transformation. In the relevant literature, numerous concepts and approaches try to offer images of future of cities. One of these concepts is smart cities. Also, participative foresight can play a role in creating future images of cities. This study seeks to offer recommendations on how to create local and brand-new images of futures of cities in Iran and improve the quality of urban foresight practices. A thick report of an event ethnography has been given from a foresight workshop conducted in Isfahan municipality about futures of Isfahan, 1420, based on observations, field notes by ethnographers and the theoretical interpretation of them. Utilization of participative deliberation and foresight techniques and event ethnography to create images of future is the innovative dimension of this paper. Adding materiality to future, deconstruction of technological utopianism discourse, conceptualization of foresight as a social capacity deriving from civic epistemologies and agonism, moving beyond used futures, and creation of neologisms can improve urban foresight practices.

Despite the importance and position of evidence‑based policymaking in the proper management of the health system, studies show that the lack or improper and untimely use of evidence are still one of the main challenges of health systems. Knowledge translation as a solution to this challenge is a process that includes a period of time that starts of decision to choose the research topic and continue to publish of research results, in which the interaction of the researchers and stakeholders is the key factor and the main axis of the process. Since the recognition and promotion of knowledge translation processes resulting from research in health system policy‑making will lead to the improvement of the health system, this review protocol was designed to identify factors affecting knowledge translation implementation, including barriers and facilitators of this process. Identifying these factors can be used as a guide for health system decision‑makers and research managers in planning to select appropriate policies for deployment of the knowledge translation process to increase the use of research results in the health system.

In contemporary world where information is all about human beings, what matters most is the accurate retrieval of information. Information retrieval has always been a human concern, which is why it is constantly undergoing many changes. One of the issues that information retrieval experts have always been thinking about is designing an efficient information retrieval system. Therefore, by identifying the key factors affecting the future of information retrieval, we can be more successful in designing such a system and have a greater share in the future of information retrieval. The present study resource review and cross-impact analysis methods, and MicMac software was used to analyze interactions and identify key factors. The results of the present study lead to the identification of 13 key factors: 1. Conversion of traditional libraries to digital, 2. Development and upgrading of search engines, 3. New content formats, 4. Intelligence of data collection methods, 5. Convergence media, 6. Increasing content production, 7. The new generation of the Web, 8. Automating information retrieval processes, 9. The emergence of hybrid resources, 10. Big data, 11. Cloud processing, 12. Increasing Internet resources, and 13. Use of artificial intelligence and natural language processing in effective information retrieval; on the future of information retrieval. Therefore, in the era of the fifth industrial revolution, it is necessary for information science specialists to be equipped with technological tool more than before.

One of the major challenges facing organizations is the expansion of factors affecting the designing a favorable outlook.Exploring environment trends to understand the future trend requires an approach beyond the usual methods of forecasting and planning.Foresight allows us to have narratives and believable images of emerging outlook from the insights gained.The purpose study is to present a picture of the future of the customs in the form of possible and compatible scenarios. In this mixed research, in order to achieve goals, data collection was done through the study of Mega-trends using scanning method and based on PESTEL analysis.The initial list was variables to find the most effective factors on the customs organization through telephone and email surveys of experts, which led to the design of a 30-factor questionnaire.By effectiveness of the matrix in an expert panel, data analysis in Micmac software led to the identification of four driving forces.The driving forces in 9 mode in CAI questionnaire a Spectrum of favorable to unfavorable conditions and according to the degree of importance and probability of occurrence, were surveyed by experts and analyzed with Scenario Wizard software.Findings show that the two scenarios of the current situation and Adaptive change will be the most likely future scenarios of customs.Familiarity with the narrative of each scenario and comparing their desirability can be the basis for designing future measures so that Iranian Customs can be a flexible, transparent and accountable organization in order to protect society, the health of goods and the satisfaction of stakeholders.

Expansion of factors affecting an organization levels is one of the major challenges facing organizations in designing a favorable outlook, So Understanding the organization's environment in order to Benefit of opportunities and avoid threats requires a new approach, beyond the usual methods of planning and forecasting.Strategic foresight is one of the tools for future research. The present exploratory research with a combination of qualitative and quantitative models and with this approach has tracked the driving forces affecting the future of customs. For this purpose, Mega-trends were studied in six areas based on PESTEL and then In an interview with Customs experts, a list of effective factors was identified, which led to the design of a questionnaire with 30 factors. This questionnaire was weighted and completed through a panel of experts. Data analysis by the method of cross impact analysis in Micmac software shows that driving forces such as stakeholders and public expectations, a culture of honesty and the fight against corruption, transparency of laws and facilitation of procedures and virtual customs will have the greatest impact on the future of the Customs, Therefore Macro decision-making, strategic planning and future customs conditions should be outlined according to these driving forces.

One of the most important goals of future studies is to draw positive images of the future and motivate people in society to change to achieve those images. But these images do not form suddenly, several cultural, social, economic, political, and psychological factors are influential in their formation and as long as the people of the society do not hope for the realization of a better society in line with the images made, they will not take steps to draw and realize them. Positive and optimistic collective images are necessary but not enough to achieve a better situation in the future. We need something beyond merely positive images of the future to ensure movement and commitment to change the current situation for the better, and that is social hope. Social hope is one of the most important future-oriented emotions that should be studied because the health and dynamism of a society depend on the level of hope of most members of that society. At the social level, the more people hope for the transformation of the society, the greater their participation in building the future of that society will be. By this hope, all individual and collective capacities to change future growth and are used together to build a better society. In the meantime, hope has been less studied from a social perspective. Even globally, very few studies have addressed the issue of social hope, and most of the studies conducted are merely philosophical views of hope that have been published in the form of books. The anonymity of social hope as a subject of research on the one hand and the need to address it, especially in the turbulent years that Iranian society is going through, on the other hand, are the main ideas of the present study. This study is a scientific attempt to investigate the problematization of social hope among contemporary Iranian scholars. Also, the irreplaceable importance of hope in futures studies as an interdisciplinary shows the epistemological and methodological aspects of this research.  

The present article is a developmental study carried out in the qualitative research tradition framework using conventional content analysis. In this study, any text or article that directly or indirectly addressed the issue of social hope in Iran and was published as an article, lecture, memo, interview, or news, was collected. The collected texts, including the articles published on the websites, made up between 1200 and 1500 pages of text. These texts were carefully studied and all the sentences, paragraphs, or sections that created a common concept were put together and then conceptualized. In the next stage, the created concepts led to the formation of categories. When naming categories, the ones that are logically most relevant to the data were selected.  

After analyzing the selected sources, 21 key contents were extracted. Finally, 5 main themes or topics were identified after analyzing, merging, and overlapping the original codes: social hope as a shared matter, demystifying of social hope, futures, agency, the duality of good and evil of government.    Social hope is a construct, not a structure, that is, the policy of social hope must produce and reproduce hope as a social construct. The production of hope takes place in languages and discourse worlds. Hence, the idea of social hope must be introduced into the linguistic world of social discourse, politics, and systems of knowledge, especially the discourse of the social sciences. The creation of social hope by sharing individual hopes and creating positive images of the collective future is the most important social task of Futurists. Of course, the capacity of social institutions must also be used to create social hope. A hopeful society includes many institutions that can grow in free space and be a source of social hope by creating a space for dialogue and participation.

One of the most prominent aspects of future studies as a social technology is to visualize the desired future and design actions to realize that future. In order to shape the future social reality of intergroup spaces, we need approaches and tools that are mainly of the cultural element. They are rooted in the common symbolic history and values of a community. One of the most important of these elements is myth. In this article, first, using tradition of qualitative research by relying on the method of reflection and observation, the role of myth in constructing future mental images has been explained. Then, the two series of TV “Aab Pariya” (Water Fairy) and “Mahalleh ye Gol o Bolbol” (Flower and Nightingale Neighborhood) are analyzed using the mythical critique method to examine the media's capacity for recreating myths. The results of this study show that the mass media, as one of the cultural bottlenecks, have a high capacity to use myths to visualize the collective good future. But the important thing is to understand the archetypes. It is also an attempt to continually recreate the myths in the story; Stories that today's and tomorrow's generations can communicate with them.

Problem Statement: 

The city is a complex system of social and economic interactions between a multitude of human and non-human factors that require new approaches to planning and managing it. Futures studies and foresight are new discourses with an interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary nature which are among collaborative approaches and can create new perspectives on urban management in combination with conventional urban planning.

The main objective of this study was to provide alternative images of the future of Isfahan city in the framework of scenario method.

The present study was an applied research that, by using cross-impact analysis approach, provides scenarios of future of Isfahan. Participants in this study were 21 experts in urban planning and foresight.

By using the library studies and referring to the upstream documents of Isfahan, 22 primary factors influencing the future of Isfahan were identified. From these 22 factors, by using the Mick-Mac software, 7 factors were selected as key factors. These seven factors were summarized in the format of three driving forces as the bases for developing scenarios facing the municipality of Isfahan: technology, urban economics, and the environment. These scenarios were named: «Garden with Wi-Fi», «Isfahan 13 to B13» and «Now we are all fine but don't believe it». The first scenario illustrates the optimistic and utopian scenario, the second scenario the cynical and destructive one, and the third scenario depicts the continuation of the current status.

Innovation: 

Application of Scenario Planning and Participatory Approach as a new approach in Isfahan urban management.

In a world where change is the unchanged rule, generational changes are faster and the term "generation" has become a concept which is only used for a decade. Each generation has different lifestyles, their needs are different and they have other desires and wishes. From this perspective, the study of the characteristics and attitudes of a generations and intergenerational studies is essential for a better understanding of social behaviors and the way in which future social reality is constructed. The present study as a futuristic study explores the images of the future in the minds of female students born in the 1370s decade. The data of this research were obtained through semi-structured interviews and analyzed by qualitative methods of thematic analysis and narrative analysis. The results of the research show that 8 macro narratives create images of the future in the minds of Interviewees. These macro narratives are as follows: 1. Small steps and gradual changes; 2. the transition from traditional to modern life; 3. Social without future; 4. my color; 5. Paradise Homeland; 6. Female participation; 7. future without gender and 8. Mother forever. Finally, the findings of this paper show that although interviewees, like most young people in the world, face two categories of social disappointment and individualism as negative images of the future; however, 3 narratives include future without gender, acceptance of the role of motherhood and a positive image of Iran's future reflects the constructive role of women born in the 70s in the future of the country.

This research was conducted as an applied research with the aim of corporate foresight in Isfahan Gas Company. In this research a set of foresight methods including six pillars, trend analysis, expert panel, environmental scanning and scenario writing has been used. Participants in this study were fifteen senior managers of Isfahan Gas Company who participated in more than twenty expert panels.
The results showed that four major drivers, which means: 1- Relationship of the country with the global village. 2- Internal political tensions and insecurity. 3- Gas company privatization. 4- Gas export will be affected by the future of the Gas Company. Based on the different combinations of these four drivers in the scenario planning software (scenario wizard) and the use of a scenario-based approach focusing on critical uncertainties, at last, the story of three scenarios has been prepared. Finally, according to the scenario space, suggestions for implementation were presented.

Images of the future are inextricably linked to desires, values and human ideals. The most important issue in investigation of future images is their role in shaping social changes. Future images beside value are the most significant building blocks of social changes. Ergo, this study as a fundamental study in qualitative research tradition deploys a blend of thematic analysis to explore the images of future of Iranian society among the young people. The results show that images of future among participant include seven key components: 1. Historical monuments of the past, 2. the weight of the present time, 3. The road taken by the descendants, 4. Conjectures about future, 5. The shadow of the society, 6. Regrets, inabilities and shortages, and 7. Understanding future.
The nature of most of these constructive roots of future images reflects on these assumptions that the future images of the young people of Iran have a profound relationship with their past and present experience of their lives, and they have little ability to imagination in a desirable future and to break the existing situation in favor of They have a in preferable situation. These assumptions should be tested in future research

A benevolent act is associated with voluntary helps to the needy people, dedicating time to voluntary charity works like looking after the elderly in elderly houses, or giving money for improving peoples’ lives in different fields and mostly concentrating on vulnerable groups. These are the most recognized procedures of benevolent acts. Adopting a novel point of view, can we say that a benevolent act may be aimed at technology and science development? Through concentrating on the concept of waqf, the present paper surveys feasibility, necessity, and advantages of promoting the charity culture of helping the institutes of science and technology. By surveying the historical trend of the fields of waqf in Iran and reviewing successful models in the world, the study concludes that directing charity activities toward scientific and technology development and development of startups and knowledge-based companies in particular, results in several times more value added for the society as a whole. This is a kind of charity for which cultural works in the society and among charity payers is the most important driver.

The present study seek to answer the question about whether future images can create identity. The gist of the paper, metaphorically speaking, is that the passengers getting on a vehicle are more similar due to the common destination than the individual similarities. As such, the society which is like a ship moving toward a destination owes its identity not to the similar ethnic, racial, linguistic, cultural, and historical characteristics of its people but to the shared destination they heading toward. This paper will also discuss that the new perception of identity which we refer to as destination identity is of a great capacity to create solidarity and identity whether in the case of compatibility with societies in the transition phase.

Organizational personnel, human resources or in recent approach human capital, are the most important resources of any organization that their foresight is necessary because they are aware of the time and futurable. In this regard, the present study attempts using two methods of the foresight which are cross-impact effects analysis and scenario planning, first to identify and analysis of the key driving agents and then formulate human resource the main scenarios Ahead of the NAJA. Time horizon of the present study is the 2025. Primary data of research was collected using semi-open interviews of managers and senior experts with experience in the field of Human resources in the NAJA and analyzed by Mick Mac software. Finally, the results of utilizing cross-impact analysis indicated that Four key agents: 1-replace the technology instead of humans, 2-development of electronic commerce, 3- increasing urbanization and metropolitan growth, 4-domination of technology in the social and economic areas between 16 identified agents in the interview phase would have the greatest impact on the future of human resources in NAJA. Such agents were used in the following as the basis agents in scenario writing. Plausible state sets of this agents, clearly determine nodes and policy pathways for managers. In order to scenario writing at this stage, specialized experts were polled and eventually by pluralizing them, 12 possible states for 4 agents were defined. Plausible state for any agent covered a range of unfavorable to favorable states. With analysis carried out by the scenario wizard software, 2 strong scenarios and 16 believable scenarios extracted, based on 12 plausible statuses regarding to 4 driving keys.

In today's business world, agility is considered as one of the most important characteristics in competitive industries. Hence, this study presents a new approach toward promoting organizational agility in companies and institutions. The proposed approach is based on theQuality Function Deployment (QFD) technique, and, is accomplished by constructing two House of Quality (HOQ) Sequentially. As the first step, the most important competitive bases related to desired industry, should be identified. The second step is allocated to identify and strengthen those agile attributes which are needed for the company in order to achieve the competitive bases. Finally, as the third Step, proper agile enablers that are suitable tools to achieve the mentioned agile attributes, identified and being exploited. As a result, the organization can attain market competitive bases relying on a set of appropriate agile enablers related to its specialized field of activity. In this paper, the whole scaffold exploits fuzzy logic to translate linguistics judgements of experts into numerical values. Eventually, an illustrative example, grounded on data available in literature, is presented and discussed to investigate the proposed approach analytically.

In development conceptualization as a main goal of current society toward quality of life improvement, it can recommended that there are some fundamental guideline such as investment, productivity, technology and multitude in situations that economical strategies are prevalent. But paying attention to social capital context, development can defined as social relationship enrichment based on social trust and partnership willingness. In recent years the role of social capital - defined as the institutions and networks of relationships between people, and the associated norms and values - has risen to considerable prominence in programs development. Although development practitioners have long suspected that social capital affects the efficiency and quality of most development processes, this paper is the first to provide the empirical results needed to confirm that impression and translate it into effective and informed policymaking. This study tries to appear difference of social capital level between religious group members and others. Our results show that overall level of social capital in religious group members is more than others especially in trust, social partnership and some other factors. Our finding prove the role of shi’ism in people’s enrichment.

Women’s entrepreneurship has a tremendous potential in empowering women and transforming society. Recently, it has been recognized that more and more women in many cultures such as our country are becoming entrepreneurs in a formal sense. However, the prospect of women becoming entrepreneurs is limited by various barriers. The statistics show that less than 10 per cent of the entrepreneurs in Iran are women and a host of barriers prevent women from realizing their full potential as entrepreneurs. This article tries to explore and identify the barriers of women's entrepreneurship in Iran. At the first we investigated the literature on barriers to women’s entrepreneurship. Then by using of experts opinions, theses barriers are classified into seven dimensions and 41 factors. Then we used statistical methods to analyses the data collected from women entrepreneurs of Yazd province. Outcomes show that 30 factors in six dimensions affect women entrepreneurship. These six dimensions are familial, scientific, personality, financial, culture-society and regulation. And the nurture dimension has no effect on women entrepreneurship.
