Therefore, recognizing the environmental, social and economical potentialities and capabilities of the cities of over 10,000 people in three provinces in southeastern Iran (Kerman, Sistan and Baluchestan and Hormozgan) with a regional development approach, is in line with the development of a balanced development of the reasons for writing this research. In fact, the purpose of the present research is to initially investigate the urban system of the southeastern parts of the country, and then, according to assessments of the current status of the urban hierarchy system, its impact on the future of regional development indicators. The results showed that urban hierarchy imbalance is one of the main characteristics of the urban system in the southeastern region, which has resulted in the lack of necessary small infrastructures and small towns. Also, the results of the futuristic model showed. Considering the importance of demographic indicators and their impact on the future of regional development indicators and the involvement of multiple elements, it is clear that the variables of urban management practices (36) and development status Human Indicators (35) have the highest calculated column value, respectively. In other words, the most important feature of these variables is low impact and high impact, and they are referred to as strategic factors, whose reinforcement boosts development in this region and has a positive impact on the economic, social and environmental dimensions.
