        Oil, as one of the country's main sources of income, has played a significant role in the spatial evolution of cities. Bandar Mahshahr, as one of the cities of Khuzestan province, is no exception to this rule. Therefore, due to its proximity to oil and gas mines, it has been affected by this industry (oil industry). The physical-spatial expansion of Mahshahr port in a short period of time was influenced by the establishment of a huge amount of industries and petrochemicals, which led to an increase in immigration and the expansion of unprecedented constructions. Therefore, the basic problem of the current research is: an analysis of the role of the oil economy in the spatial evolution of Mahshahr port Considering the significant role of oil in the spatial evolution of cities, this research has been conducted with the aim of evaluating the process of spatial evolution of Mahshahr port in different periods. The research method is descriptive-analytical and practical in terms of targeting. In this research, according to the studies of comprehensive and detailed plans, existing aerial photographs and the use of Google Earth and Arc/Gis10.8 software, the process of spatial evolution of Mahshahr port during the years 1930 to 2022 was evaluated. The findings indicate that oil has played a significant role in the spatial evolution of Mahshahr port, and most of the economic and social activities in this city have taken place due to the dependence on the oil industry. Therefore, the profit and loss obtained from the activity of this industry has played an important role in the spatial evolution of this city. The results of this research showed that until 1930, the trend of spatial developments of Mahshahr port included the old Mahshahr part and the industrial area part, and this city during the years 1985 to 2007 had the most spatial developments within the scope of the detailed plan with an area of 731.04 hectares and outside From the scope of the detailed plan, it has been associated with an area of 686.16 hectares in the northwest, south, west and southwest Manuscript profile

        The purpose of the present study is to explore rentierism in the second Pahlavi regime. The method of study is descriptive analysis and the results showed that the most important political consequence of the oil economy in Iran can be the rentier state during the second Pahlavi regime. Rising oil prices led to a highly noticeable increase in SAVAK budget and the Shah used this factor to suppress public opposition inside the country more than ever. SAVAK, recognizing it was given a more extensive role compared to the first pre-shock stage, felt free to suppress the regime's opponents and continued its measures without any concern. Of course, it should be noted that the Shah's oppression and dictatorship created a sense of terror and horror in people's heart and they attributed all these measures to the Shah and hated him more than before. Autocracy and repression intensified by the Shah before the revolution insomuch that a group of writers and researchers of the Islamic revolution have considered the severe autocracy and repression during the Pahlavi regime as the main causes of the revolution.

        Iran's economy in the second decade of Mohammad Reza Shah's rule, Iran became more and more rent-seeking and oil-rich. With the nationalization of the oil industry, oil revenues belonged to Iran, and although after that an oil consortium was formed to extract and sell Iranian oil, but gradually the position of oil in the economy and consequently Iran's policy became special and very influential. To the extent that oil rents led to the formation of an oil rentier government, which had many internal and external consequences for Iran.

        In the th century, the era of modern colonialism, the industrial colonial countries' policy for earning the national wealth and resources of developing countries was based on changing their economy into a monocultural one by the use of political, economical and military techniques and, if needed, controlling these countries through economic forces and wresting their resources in order to have unceasing access to raw material and appropriate fuel for their country. In Iran, oil has had such a role in the economy for years. The historical evidences of Iran's economy is an indicator of Iranian policy makers will for making a change in the field of oil in order to make socio-economic developments in the past and the present. That Iran's economy suffers from the Dutch disease is the direct result of earning and spending oil incomes . Changing the stance towards oil, from income–based to capital–based can be the initiation of turning losses to profits in anoil economy. Manuscript profile
