Abstract

Since futures research provides an opportunity for researchers to study and assess the future conditions and features for decision-makers, it is considered a platform for development. Given that a native model of the future research process has not been presented in the AJA with the process approach, this research has sought to formulate it in the AJA, and indeed the main issue of the research is that the native model of the future study process in AJA is. This research is an applied and descriptive analytical research with a quantitative approach. In order to implement the research, firstly, by studying the literature and research background, the factors influencing futures studies in AJA were determined using content analysis method; then, to achieve the conceptual model of the research, the relationships between the identified factors using the Interpretative Structural Modeling Method (ISM) Has been. In conclusion, a native model study has been proposed for future study in AJA with a process approach.
