This article seeks to show the position of "social dimensions of quality of life" in the development plans after the victory of the Islamic Revolution in Iran. The article is interdisciplinary in nature since it combines socio-economic issues of development affecting the quality of life. In this regard, the social dimension includes "social-economic security", "social cohesion", "social integration", "social empowerment" and "social sustainability". The main purpose of this article is to answer two questions i.e. "In which development plans more attention has been paid to social aspects of the quality of life?" and, "Which of the social dimensions of quality of life have been considered in development plans?" “Content Analysis Method” has been used to analyze the concept in the text pointing to development plans. The main findings in relation to the aforementioned questions were: “The Fourth Plan” and "Economic-Social Security". Other significant results were: The highest and the lowest presence of each of the social dimensions of quality of life in development plans.

The adoption of intermediate plans for development and progress is based on policies that are in the form of specific objectives and legal mechanism and executive plans. As in many cases, the weakness in implementation can be traced to policies. Accordingly, due to the imbalance between consumption and demand in the management of water resources, one of the reasons can be sought in the form of policy-making and planning. However, water policy-making and planning in Iran has not been a fixed one and has undergone many changes in social and political contexts. Most of the developments in water planning and policy-making are between water programs before and after the Islamic Revolution; developments in medium and short terms are also evident. To identify these developments through a qualitative approach and the inductive content analysis method, the text of development plans and documents has been studied. Since the Islamic Revolution, these developments have been more influenced by the political discourse of the government. The results also show that development programs in Iran have not been sufficiently coherent in terms of the sustainability of water resources. In fact, the change in policies related to the exploitation of water resources during this period has led to the rupture of various development programs of the country from the perspective of water management.
