Abstract

Security and development are both complex and multidimensional concepts that can be examined from different angles. In development, security is one of the key infrastructures, and development is a factor in enhancing security. In this applied-developmental research, we will attempt to recapitulate these two key concepts in the 40-year period of the Islamic Revolution in Iran in a qualitative and exploratory space, based on a futuristic approach and using library trends and documentation. Each of these aspects, with a forward-looking approach to Iran's forward-thinking scenarios. The Relationship between Security and Development Concepts Based on Future Research The question of this research is to investigate the concept of future timeframe for development and security by answering this question and using the matrix method with two components of security and development, possible modes of evaluation and Are checked. The four scenarios presented in this research will be formulated and processed by the method of identifying the uncertainties and analyzing the uncertainties that come to you in terms of research innovation. Analyzing and analyzing the developed scenarios, we will highlight some important issues that will be addressed by studying the relevant policy and practical issues and recommendations that will enable them to integrate the development and security of the Islamic Revolution in the future.
