Concept Mapping and Verifying Model of FactorsUtilization of Policy Research in Policy Making

The main purpose of this research is designing model of factors that affect utilization of policy research with concept mapping technique and verifying it. For this in three stage, Sequential-Exploratory Mixed Methods Design is used. In first stage, literature review, interview and focus group is used for identifying factors. The analysis is used for analyzing data. In second stage for designing model, concept mapping is used and finally in third stage for verifying model, Conformity factor analysis is used.Population is teachers and researchers of public policy making area and policy makers of Supreme Council of the Cultural Revolution. In different level of multi-level sampling, sequential-Purposive way is used. Sample size is in interview 10, focus group 7, and designing model 19 and verifying it 83.As result shown in designing, the model consist of 18 components and 4 dimensions (context, identity features of researcher, researchers, research users). Also in verifying stage, the model that is designed confirms.
