Thus, tools and platforms are needed that increases the possibility of interacting in a faster way, with more quality. In this research, we suggest IoT due to its possibility of connecting everything and everyone to each other in every time and place. Purpose: The main purpose of this research is to identify and prioritize effective factors on IoT applications in open government. Methodology: The present research is practical in term of purpose and its main approach is exploratory-descriptive. Research data are gained based on library research, Semi-structured interviews with the experts and through Theme analysis, and prioritized by ANP. Findings: The results show that 21 factors are effective on IoT applications in Open Government that can divide to 5 categories as technical, economical, legal-civil, security and social-cultural. Conclusion: Technical category and providing infrastructure, developing Standards, rules and regulations, providing expert staff and Data security, respectively have the top priority.
