One of the perennial and exacerbated challenges facing the political and managerial system of Iran has been inflation. Extensive efforts have been made by researchers and executive officials in this country to identify its causes and overcome it. In the meantime, understanding the consequences and impacts of inflation in various geographical dimensions is a critical endeavor that can lead to the development of practical programs to rationally confront inflationary conditions. Peripheral settlements and their developments provide a tangible platform for spatially identifying the effects of inflation in each geographical region. Therefore, this article examines and analyzes the effects of economic inflation on the livelihoods of Peripheral settlements in Birjand. This descriptive-analytical research uses both documentary and survey methods in its investigations. The results show that inflation during the years 2018-2022, with its financial dimension, has caused a fundamental decline in the economic assets of residents. It has resulted in a significant reduction in household savings and increased household debt. Consequently, many households have chosen to move from Birjand to Peripheral areas to alleviate the financial burden of inflation on their households. Furthermore, the different effects of inflation on the overall dimensions of sustainable livelihoods between different villages were significant, indicating the spatial differences in the impact of inflation on the sustainability of the area's livelihoods.One of the perennial and exacerbated challenges facing the political and managerial system of Iran has been inflation.

Economic growth and development is one of the basic goals of all the countries of the world, so far, many influential factors have been presented for this goal. The government's construction budget is one of the most important and essential factors influencing economic growth. If the central government cannot make fundamental changes in accordance with regional needs and tastes, the provision of public goods and services will lose its efficiency, and local governments can improve efficiency, and this efficiency improvement comes from local governments' awareness of the needs, capacities, and tastes of local people. By knowing the needs and talents, the productivity increases and ultimately the production rate increases. In Iran, the Provincial Planning and Development Council is in charge of allocating the annual provincial budget, and for many years, this council has been allocating provincial budgets to various affairs (public affairs budget, defense budget, economic affairs budget, and social affairs budget) and cities. The aim of the present research is to investigate the economic effects of the allocation of credits for the acquisition of provincial capital assets by the Provincial Planning and Development Council in the territory of Iran. The data of this research was collected through the website of Iran Statistics Center for all provinces during the years 2018-2019. This research is practical in terms of its purpose and was analyzed using ordinary least squares panel data method in the environment of Eviuse program and its results show that with a one percent increase in the budget of economic affairs, the GDP per capita increases by 0.241848 percent. With a one percent increase in the public service budget, the GDP per capita increases by 0.102297 percent, with a one percent increase in the social affairs budget, the GDP per capita increases by 0.09448 percent, and with a one percent increase in the military budget, the GDP per capita increases by 0.074006 percent. Since one of the basic goals of governments is to achieve economic growth, politicians In order to achieve this important goal, the planners, especially the Provincial Planning and Development Council, should pay more attention in allocating budgets to economic affairs, public affairs, and education and health sector budgets in order to increase the productivity of the labor force and ultimately the economic growth of the country.

Agriculture is one of the most important economic sectors of the countries of the world and its role in economic, political and international development and stability is undeniable. Agricultural development is considered the most important priority in the national development programs of developing countries and is one of the most important and influential sectors in Iran's economy, which plays an important role in the political and economic independence of the country. In the country of Iran, the agricultural sector has an important position in the history of this country due to the comprehensive impact it has had in the field of solving economic-social challenges (providing independence and food security, creating employment, sustainable development and preserving the environment). It reveals the necessity of making new investments in this sector (Abdolahi, 1385: 169). . Therefore, paying attention to greenhouse production in terms of vegetables and summer herbs has become one of the most productive sectors in the marketing of agricultural products. Based on this, the present research aims to investigate the factors and limitations of the development of greenhouse crops in the rural areas of Jiroft city. For this purpose, the statistics of this research are 5 rural areas of Jiroft city, which in recent years have attracted a lot of attention from farmers and experts in this field due to the various greenhouse activities and having the necessary conditions for greenhouse export. . This research was of a descriptive-analytical type and the required data was collected by the survey method (questionnaire) and its distribution among 30 experts in the field of agriculture. In order to know the weaknesses, strengths, opportunities and threats of greenhouse products marketing, SWOT strategic model was used and then with the help of QSPM matrix, the most important planning strategies and strategic management of marketing in the villages of the region were identified and prioritized. The results of the internal and external matrix showed that the areas of Jiroft city are in an aggressive position, which means having the maximum capability and ability to realize the desired vision. According to the results obtained from the quantitative evaluation matrix, the perspective considered for the marketing potential of greenhouse products of this region was included in 4 cases to realize the competitive position, the first priority with "the readiness of the region to invest and stabilize" It is the polar position of the region.
