Abstract :

Futures studies is a value knowledge and has a two-way communication with the worldview, ideology and culture of nations. Humanities is one of the factors that influence the field of futures studies. Hence the human sciences itself could be the subject of future studies. In this study, we have tried to discuss the role of future studies in knowledge management in the field of humanities. Therefore, we had a case study with thematic analysis approach to examine this issue. The analysis of theme has shown that bias of humanities, complexity of human behavior and barriers to understand human are as the most important considerations of humanities. Also the results of analysis showed that the most important effects and achievements of the role of future studies in knowledge management were, predicting the future, creating favorable changes in the future, identifying change factors, the realizing projections, reaching the desired future and promoting the knowledge of future studies.
