Abstract :

Due to the human, natural resources and geographical and political conditions of the border regions in the national development process today, local resource-based planning can be prioritized through a coordinated military plan. Therefore, it is necessary to improve the economic, social, environmental and cultural indicators in order to achieve the important goals of sustainable development, in the form of regionalism policy, by modeling and providing appropriate solutions. In this study, the status of development in Kermanshah province was investigated with emphasis on regionalism policy. By studying and compiling120 questionnaires containing50questions, the impact of regionalism in different dimensions was studied from the perspective of managers of 5 Kermanshah border towns. Data analysis was done by SPSS.Wilcoxon test was used for statistical analysis of the difference between the status quo and the ideal condition. The results indicate that there are significant differences in the two dimensions between the status quo and the ideal condition.So it can be said that there is a significant gap between the status quo and the ideal conditions for development, and this difference is shown in all dimensions as maps (GIS).
