Abstract :
Today we are witnessing a fast movement from traditional economy towards knowledge- based digital economy as a result of breathtaking IT revolution. So science and technology parks, as one of the most important factors in economic growth and regional development, should be frontier in using IT facilities to help their tenants compete with other companies. Furthermore, because of diversity of the science parks in form and function, the academic literature about their classification is sparse and most of the exiting taxonomies can not be applied to all countries science parks. In this paper, we are going to classify science parks based on the IT facilities they provide for their tenants, and then we will apply it on Iranian science parks.
