        In recent years, the emergence of extensive changes in the field of information and communication, has led to major changes in various fields. Humans have always used technology and the record of human life is full of the invention of information and communication technologies, which are referred to as new or excellent technologies. Therefore, the development of information and communication technology indicators has become of considerable importance. The purpose of this study is to design a system dynamics model for policy-making to improve the characteristics of Iran's information and communication technology network. For this purpose, after examining different models of ICT indicators and extracting the mentioned indicators, cause and effect loops and flow diagrams using the system dynamics method are presented. The simulation results show that the behavior of the studied basic variables after the implementation of policies to increase economic growth, quantitative and qualitative improvement of ICT infrastructure, growth of social indicators, culture of ICT utilization and knowledge promotion The technology of ICT users has improved and their growth process has accelerated.

        2 - Investigating the Information and Communication Technology Deployment Impact on Energy Expenditures of Iranian households (A Provincial Approach)

        Nowadays, investing in information and communication technology (ICT) is inevitable, because it affects various aspects of human life, including the economy. Due to the rapid growth of population, increasing energy demand, and limited energy resources, one of the basic measures to achieve sustainable development in countries, is optimization and reform of energy consumption structures. Given that the home sector is one of the main sectors of energy consumption, one of the effective approaches in reducing and managing household energy expenditures is to use ICT capabilities. In this regard, in this study, the effect of ICT expansion on energy consumption of urban households in Iran using the Panel Data method and GLS model during the period 2008-2015 and in the form of provincial data has been analyzed. The results indicate that in some models, a significant reducing effect of ICT on energy expenditure was observed. However, in most of the estimated models, there is no significant reducing effect of ICT on household energy expenditure. It seems that the main reasons for this are the subsidy structure governing energy prices, the low share of energy in total household consumption expenditures, the lack of proper consumption culture.

        Today, information and communication technology has influenced all areas of human life, including economics and politics. In research on the effects of information and communication technology, its effects on economic risk and political risk have not been considered so far. Therefore, this study has examined the effect of ICT development on economic and political risk for three selected groups of developed, developing, and OPEC countries in the period 2007- 2019. The panel data method was used to estimate the model. Based on the model estimation results for all sample countries, the deployment of information and communication technology reduces economic and political risk; But the results are different for each group. As the development of information and communication technology in selected OPEC members and developing countries increases economic risk; But in developed countries, it reduces economic risk. Also, in OPEC member countries, no significant relationship was found between ICT and political risk, and in selected developed and developing countries, ICT increases political risk.

        It is inevitable to properly manage the implementation of information and communication technology policies in a planned way in order to improve the country's position in the fields of science and technology. The purpose of this research is to provide a model of the effective factors on the implementation of Iran's ICT policies with the help of the neural network technique and based on Giddens' constructive theory. From the point of view of conducting it, this research is of a survey type and based on the purpose, it is of an applied type because it is trying to use the results of the research in the Ministry of Communication and Information Technology and the Iranian Telecommunications Company. Data collection is based on library and field method. The tool for collecting information is research researcher-made questionnaire. The statistical population of the research is information and communication technology experts at the headquarters of Iran Telecommunication Company (810 people), of which 260 people were randomly selected as a sample based on Cochran's formula. MATLAB software was used for data analysis. According to the findings, the best combination for development is when all input variables are considered at the same time, and the worst case is when the infrastructure development variable is ignored, and the most important based on network sensitivity analysis is related to infrastructure development and the least important is related to content supply.
