Economic growth and development is one of the goals that every economy pursues and the reason for this is many benefits that accomplish economic growth. Therefore, in the seventh development plan, like other previous ones, the issue of growth and development must be taken into account. In this regard, special attention should be paid to the concept of land management and sub-sectors that have advantages such as tourism. Tourism as the fourth most lucrative industry in the world, has high economic and social benefits, the development of which is one of the least costly methods of economic growth in the Seventh Development Plan. And since Iran is one of the top 10 countries in the world in terms of tourist attractions and one of the top 15 countries in terms of tourism diversity and one of the top 8 in the world in terms of diversity of handicrafts whereas in terms of climate diversity on the one hand and the existence of unique historical and cultural sites on the other, it is one of the few countries that has an absolute advantage in attracting world tourism. Therefore, in this article, the effect of foreign tourism on the economic growth of Iran's provinces in general and the separation of 9 land management zones in particular were studied to be proposed as an important sub-section in the seventh plan with respect to impact and the possibility of policy-making for planned areas. To achieve this, the data panel method and quarterly data collected from the Statistics Center of Iran and the Cultural Heritage Organization during 2011 to 2018 were used. The results showed that tourism has had a positive and significant effect on economic growth in most provinces of Iran. The highest effect is in areas 4 and 5 and the least effect is in areas 8 and 9 of land management, respectively. Therefore, special attention should be paid to capacity building in this sub-section in the seventh plan.

More than half of the world’s population consists of youth and adolescents under25 years of age. Some 1.2 billion of them are 15-24 years old, and predictions suggest this number will rise for the next 20 years. As a considerable part of the population in any country that can play a positive or a negative role in the development of their countries, the youth have diversified needs such as education, employment, access to healthcare and sanitation facilities, and the possibility of engaging in social and civil society activities. Calculating the youth development index in various countries is among the activities that have taken place to determine the degree of youth atmosphere development. This index was calculated for 171 countries with respect to the five key axes of education, health and well-being, employment, political participation, and citizen participation. The main hypothesis in the present research is that the youth development index and the main components of this index have positive effects on economic growth of countries. To investigate this issue, an econometric model based on the endogenous growth model is employed and the selected countries through developed, developing, and less developed countries are studied. Results indicated that, YDI plays effective and significant role in the economic growth. Also all off its main components have effective and significant roles in the economic growth of the selected countries.
