Maintaining and promoting unity plays a crucial role in the direction and operation of the full capacity of social system during a process of development. However, most of the communities undergoing development process face a lot of challenges, each one posing a serious threat to integration and community cohesion. The critical question is that what causes challenge social cohesion in the development process and how to maintain cohesion in the development process. Using thematic analysis, national development plans, reports compiled by international organizations in different periods as well as theoretical discussions on development were analyzed, and by identifying the main themes and the relationships between them, a dynamic model of maintaining cohesion during a process of development was drawn. The main themes of promoting dynamic cohesion in the society during development process were identified and formulated through the paradigmatic model of Strauss under four main categories of revising strategy of development planning, controlling consequences in development process, and redefining elements related to agents of development and ultimately contextual items.
