The Cultural Requirements from the Perspective of Futurist Social Reconstruction in the Development Documents of the Islamic Republic of Iran

Considering rapid changes and predicting future status, social reconstruction theory with a futuristic approach can be effective in solving future cultural challenges. Alvin Toffler is one of the theorists in this area. He describes the future developments of the world, especially in the cultural field, based on the present realities. Using the qualitative content analysis method, this research obtained five important cultural features of future societies including the development of cultural relations over the world, the development of ethnicity, the growth of values and spirituality, the development of individual identity and the family institution. Then, the 1404 Prospectus Document and the Sixth Development Plan Document were analyzed based on these characteristics. The results of the research showed that it is necessary to pay more attention to the development of worldwide cultural relations. Also, more attention must be paid to the future cultural challenges and changes in the production of newer development documents.
