Finally, 16 factors were extracted as key factors affecting the spatial development of Mazandaran province in the year of the horizon, 12 factors were in the economic sector, 9 factors were in the socio-demographic, 11 factors were in the environmental and 3 factors were in the physical-spatial, and they will form the foundation of planning for the future of a sustainable space in this province.
