Abstract

State divisions are one of the most effective tools for political space organizing. The background of dividing the territory of the country into smaller units in Iran may be historically traced back to the formation of the first territorial state by Achaemenids. The role and function of state divisions, its relationship to national survival, facilitation of exerting the government’s will, a balanced regional development, and the like, all indicate the importance of creating a suitable developmental platform for the country. In our country, however, the existence of some threatening factors in the state divisions system have caused weaknesses and led to inefficiency in the functioning of the divisions. Meanwhile, economic - functional and form-physical threats, due to the role they can play, are of utmost importance. The researchers in this article have tried their best to analyze the most important threatening elements related to economic-functional or form-physical aspects of state divisions in the country.
