Introduction: Development is a multidimensional process that contains economic, social, cultural, and political aspects. Programs that have been implemented so far, have largely focused on economic growth and industrial development, and greatly neglected the social and cultural factors of growth. In this research, social development has been analyzed.
Method: Quantitative content analysis was implemented in this study. Social development has been examined by two indicators of welfare and humanitarian. The statistical population is the laws of the five development programs before the 1327-1356 (1979-1948) revolution and the laws of the five development plans after the 1368-1394 (1989-2015) Islamic Revolution. Since the materials of the research comprise all the laws of civic and developmental plans, there is no sampling in the research.
Findings: In the development laws before and after the Islamic Revolution, in the context of social development, the welfare indicators and humanitarian index of social development have been emphasized in each period. Before and after the Islamic Revolution, much attention has been paid to some of the humanitarian indicators of development that have received no attention (political and social Proliferation, equality of rights).
Discussion: In both of the pre and post-revolutionary plans, each plan had a greater emphasis on development indicators than the pre-growth plan. But what is clear is the fact that from the perspective of development planners in Iran, social development means addressing one of its dimensions, that is, visible and material indicators, while not paying attention to the human characteristics is one of the disincentives factors of development.
