Introduction
A worthy society, considering religious and transcendent ideologies, can offer a new definition of essential ideals by taking a balanced view of the past, present, and future. This definition envisions an ideal society from an epistemological and value-based perspective while also having a forward-looking approach. It seeks to create a specific society aimed at achieving both worldly and eternal happiness.
Research Background
Theoretical literature and previous research showed that the proposed indicators were only examined in one dimension, and no model was provided to explore the relationships between dimensions and indicators.
3-1. Conceptual Foundations
3-1-1. The Second Step of the Islamic Revolution Declaration
One of the most important sources for achieving a worthy society is the "Second Step of the Islamic Revolution" declaration, which was issued by the Supreme Leader (may he be preserved) in 2018. In this declaration, the components essential for building and creating a new Islamic civilization were examined.
3-1-2. Research Methodology
The present study is applied in nature and uses a mixed-method approach. It seeks to provide a model for a worthy society based on the Second Step of the Islamic Revolution. Given the outlined vision, non-deterministic methods and decision-making in uncertain environments were employed.
1. Findings and Data Analysis
The Delphi expert panel was conducted in a fuzzy uncertainty environment in two stages. In the first stage, after conducting library research, 52 indicators were identified for the model of a worthy society. In the second stage, the expert panel reviewed 34 suggested keywords, with 25 of them being accepted.
2. Conclusion and Recommendation
This research aims to present a new model for building a worthy society in the context of the Islamic Republic of Iran during the Second Step of the Islamic Revolution. After conducting library research and consulting 12 experts, 63 key terms affecting the development of a worthy society were identified. Based on the opinions of 95 experts, these key terms were categorized into eight dimensions: political, cultural, economic, deterrence, ideology and values, environmental, social, and legal systems and regulations.
The results from drawing a dynamic systems model showed that the structure of the dimensions in the worthy society model, divided into two sets of four dimensions each, can promote growth and desirable development in the Islamic Republic of Iran in the medium term. The progress towards this development can be observed through the drawn graphs. In summary, the political, cultural, economic, and deterrence dimensions require long-term planning for the creation of a worthy society, as the time frame represented in the graph shows a longer period. In contrast, the time required for the second set of four dimensions is shorter, indicating that they can be achieved through mid-term planning. Therefore, it is recommended that in building a worthy society, more attention be paid to the cultural, political, economic, and deterrence dimensions. Notably, the deterrence dimension has a steeper slope compared to the others, indicating that Its development is progressing well on a national scale. However, the cultural and economic dimensions show a more gradual slope. Furthermore, in the second set of four dimensions, the ideology and values, as well as the legal systems and regulations, have a steeper slope than the other two dimensions, indicating that more attention should be given to the social and environmental dimensions to achieve a worthy society.
