Abstract :
In recent years, the emergence of extensive changes in the field of information and communication, has led to major changes in various fields. Humans have always used technology and the record of human life is full of the invention of information and communication technologies, which are referred to as new or excellent technologies. Therefore, the development of information and communication technology indicators has become of considerable importance. The purpose of this study is to design a system dynamics model for policy-making to improve the characteristics of Iran's information and communication technology network. For this purpose, after examining different models of ICT indicators and extracting the mentioned indicators, cause and effect loops and flow diagrams using the system dynamics method are presented. The simulation results show that the behavior of the studied basic variables after the implementation of policies to increase economic growth, quantitative and qualitative improvement of ICT infrastructure, growth of social indicators, culture of ICT utilization and knowledge promotion The technology of ICT users has improved and their growth process has accelerated.
