Today, border areas are of great importance to governments due to their special geopolitical functions. Governments need to pay attention to these areas to ensure their political stability and internal security. The eastern borders are of special importance in Iranchr('39')s national and regional development strategies due to their proximity to the centre of crisis and threat, namely Afghanistan. Taybad border has been considered as one of the borders that can play a significant role in ensuring the security of the country, which is of great importance in the security of the country. Therefore, the comprehensive growth and development of this region is a priority for politicians and planners. This article uses a descriptive-analytical method to study the development indicators of Taybad region. The main question of the article is that what are the factors influencing the development of Taybad border area? And which drivers play a key role in developing scenarios for the development of Taybad border area? According to the analysis of Mick Mac software and Wizard scenario, the research findings show that the most important variables include population density, population stability, construction of local markets, construction status and development of the industrial town and the existence of unique transit capacities. Analysis of eleven scenarios showed that scenarios 9, 10 and 11 had favourable conditions, scenarios 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 2 had unfavourable conditions. The findings also showed that the development process in the Taybad border region is critical and politicians at the national, regional and local levels, despite the regionchr('39')s capabilities, take advantage of it. Finally, strategies for the future development of this border area are presented in the form of suggestions.
