More than 77% of the regions in Iran are classified as medium to very deprived areas from the point of view of economic, social and environmental sustainability indicators. Since the failure to provide appropriate platforms for development governance is considered as the reason for the failure of development programs, the present study investigates the development governance system of the deprived areas of the country and emphasizes the role of network governance in solving problems of complex systems; It has analyzed the power distribution structure among the legal actors of the sustainable development of deprived areas of the country. For this purpose, after reviewing the laws and regulations of the deprived areas of the country, based on the laws of the 6th five-year development plan, 38 legal responsibilities and 39 institutions/organizations responsible and collaborators for the development of the deprived areas of the country were extracted. The matrix of actors' cooperation network by using the indicators of degree centrality, betweenness centrality, density and coherence; Geodesic distance and intersection points were analyzed.
