Achieving human development and good governance through appropriate functions between various institutions of society is one of the main criteria for measuring the prosperity and development of countries in recent decades and can meet the needs of citizens in a society. The current research with descriptive-analytical-comparative method and within the framework of the theory of "new institutionalism" and "ideal governance" seeks to answer this main question; that "what is the optimal governance position in Iran in 2000- 2010 from the perspective of human development indicators?" Based on the surveys by using reliable sources such as books and researches and reliable websites and by calculating the average indicators of optimal governance from the perspective of human development indicators in the two areas of "efficiency" and "social welfare", which include efficiency and effectiveness, unemployment rate, gross national product, life expectancy, health, education and gender equality in the governments of Khatami and Ahmadinejad. And also, by presenting charts and comparing these indicators with each other, it was concluded that all the indicators of the hypothesis were ranked higher. But the position of both governments is lower than the average of human development at the global level due to various institutional weaknesses.
