However, this article aims to present a model of development. Methods: This research was a descriptive and applied; in the qualitative section, 24 elites were selected and interviewed from centers of applied-science, foresight and higher education development by using purposeful sampling. Interviews were implemented and coded and primary codes of interviews were mainly delivered during two-step Delphi. However, initial development pattern obtained by interviews. In the quantitative section, an 84-item questionnaire was provided. Cronbach's alpha of all components was above 0/7. The statistical population included heads of applied-science centers, directors of departments, faculty members, visiting professors of institute (2071 persons). About 325 people were selected based on Morgan table by stratified sampling. The data were analyzed using confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) method and Lisrel. Finding: standard factor load to measure the power of the relationship between factors; applied education and research, employment and entrepreneurship, planning with foresight approach, Spatial Planning, finance, and budget, as well as the appropriateness of infrastructures with items in all cases was larger than 0.3, and statistics at a confidence level of 5% was more than 1.96. Conclusion: According to the results, these six components must be prioritized than others such as applied education and research, employment and entrepreneurship, planning with foresight approach, land use logistics, financial and budget discussions, and adaptation of capital development in order to provide an optimal model for development in Iran Helal Institute of Applied Science & Technology and other related centers in Red Crescent Society. }, URL = {http://jorar.ir/article-1-407-en.html}, eprint = {http://jorar.ir/article-1-407-en.pdf}, journal = {Journal of Rescue Relief}, doi = {}, year = {2017} }
