Cultivating new development paths in urban areas requires a strategic planning process, strategic planning is considered as one of the executive steps of future research through the presence, participation, and awareness raising of citizens in different fields. In this sense, future research is not a substitute for strategic planning; but rather its content in which the strategy is formulated. This research is applied in terms of its purpose and descriptive-analytical research in terms of its methodology, which by studying the theoretical foundations and using the Delphi method, influential indicators and variables in strategic planning in the form of 4 general dimensions(physical, socio-cultural, institutional management and structural-process) and 39 items or sub-indices were extracted. The analysis of the data collected in the current research was done by statistical tests such as cross-effects analysis and structural equations, GWR tool from the spatial statistics collection, etc., with the help of Micmac, Smart PLS, GIS, and SPSS software. The results of modeling the effects of official institutions on the future of research showed that "transparency of goals, policies and official and unofficial instructions of the organization" had the greatest contribution to the direct and indirect effectiveness of future research in the city of Isfahan. Also, the results of the effective spatial analysis on the expansion of strategic planning in the city of Isfahan showed that the managerial-institutional dimension would have significant effects on the expansion of strategic planning in the city of Isfahan, and the socio-cultural index is the most important indicators influencing strategic planning at the level of this city.
