Identification of key drivers in regional economic development of Iran's ocean coasts

Regional development planning has been welcomed by planners and policy makers for different territories and regions during the past decades in order to reduce the distance between the regions of a territory, so that currently organizations, institutions and planners are looking for solutions to get out of the lack of development of regions. On the other hand, the world we live in is a dynamic world. Therefore, since human behavior and plans determine the consequences of the dynamics of the world, it is appropriate for humans to be aware of these behaviors, plans, and the dynamics of the world around them, and based on this knowledge and awareness, take the best actions to create a bright and desirable future. . According to what was said, this research seeks to identify the key propellants in the regional economic development of the oceanic coasts of Iran. Considering the importance and dynamics of the role of beaches in regional development, in this research, first, using the library method, the effective variables were extracted in this field, and then according to the opinion of 30 experts in this field, among the identified variables, 54 important variables were identified. Variables was extracted in economic, socio-cultural, physical, managerial and environmental dimensions. Then, using the MIC MAC future research technique, among them, the key propellants of the economic development of the regions of the oceanic coasts of Iran were identified. Finally, the indicators identified in this research were evaluated in the mentioned dimensions, and finally eight indicators include: macro government policies, welfare and social security, tourism and ecotourism, commerce and trade, regional transportation network, employment generation, people's income and inflation were introduced as key and effective propellants in the development of the regional economy in the ocean coast of Iran.
